Fabric That Keeps You Cool

Both Merino wool and Tencel wick moisture, breathe well and regulate body temperature, so together they’re a powerhouse for hot summer days. Tencel absorbs more moisture than Merino wool, which creates a natural cooling effect that keeps you comfortable even on your sweatiest days. Everything in our Natural Tencel Collection is lightweight, including our sweatshirts and joggers.

Our Merino + Tencel blend is a natural, chemical-free, biodegradable fabric that feels great on your skin. Tencel is made from renewable raw material wood sourced from sustainable forests in an award-winning, ecological, closed loop process that you can feel good about. Explore our materials.

Merino Made Better for Summer

Our other Merino wool tees for men and for women are great for summer too, but the addition of Tencel takes Merino wool to a new level. We introduced this fabric blend after testing it all summer and seeing how cool and comfortable it kept us, and then we found we liked it so much we kept wearing it year-round.

Tencel Collection Reviews

Take it from our customers.

"I dont usually review things, but my husband loves his shirt. It fits his athletic build well, is incredibly soft, and comfortable in this HOT Texas weather."

S.

Men's Natural Merino Tencel Tee

"I live in the high desert and it is perfect for wearing year round. Winter, I layer under it with the Ridge Merino Tank and a heavy scarf. Summer evenings just a light bra and shorts and it breathes beautifully."

D.

Women's Natural Crew Sweatshirt

"So glad I took a chance on this shirt! It's got the wool t-shirt feel & functionality but looks more dressy than a tee."

Clo C.

Women's Natural Relaxed 3/4 Sleeve Tee

"Unbelievably soft, comfy, and breathable joggers. And nailed the fit too- highly flattering without being too tight or too loose. Cozy and casual enough to lounge in all night at home but fitted enough to wear out and about for errands or travel."
