Why Merino?
Merino is particularly good for outdoor activities during the winter because, thanks to its porous nature, it wicks away moisture, so you won’t feel sticky if you sweat during a winter hike. It also repels odors, and naturally regulates your body temperature to keep you from overheating. Merino sheep exist in temperatures ranging from five to 95 degrees, so their wool can keep you comfortable in a similar range of temperatures.
