Discover Merino Wool

Merino wool offers a buttery softness unmatched by other types of wool. Merino fibers are very fine and don't have the scratchy feel many people associate with wool clothing. Our 100% Merino wool heavyweight base layers are pieces you will want to put on and never take off.

Base Layer Reviews

Take it from our customers.

"Working in the utility industry, I’m outdoors 24/7. Not only are these base layers warm, they also don’t wear out quick if you wash and dry like you’re supposed to. Cuffs are elastic which don’t move around. Have 6 of them and buy more every year. They don’t smell either in hot or cold weather. Highly recommend."

"Can’t spend the winter with any other layers! Get a set every year! This is the third!"

Women's Inversion Base Layer Leggings

"I now have 3 of these shirts. I’m cold all the time and I wear them under everything all winter long. Soft yet durable. My first one is 3+ years old and looks like new."

Women's Base Layer Crew Shirt

"Supremely comfortable baselayer. The thick knit wool has a “classic long johns” feel, but the wool is quite soft and minimal itch. The fit is perfect - closely fitted but not tight."
