Merino Wool Fabric

Merino wool is the best choice for hiking and backpacking layers. Comfortable, versatile, lightweight Merino wool regulates body temperature by releasing heat and keeping sweat away from your skin. It also offers natural sun protection for long day hikes. Throw on an extra layer to stay warm when the weather cools.

Merino Wool Technology You'll Love

Many of our products feature our (m)Force™ Technology, which results in a fabric that dries faster and lasts longer than 100% merino wool. The (m)Force™ Technology also helps the fabric recover properly without stretching out over time and use. Whether you need sun protection clothing for fishing, backpacking, or kayaking, (m)Force Technology truly changes the performance of Merino wool.

Take it from our customers.

"It's extremely comfortable next to the skin and it has plenty of space to breathe. It's an excellent choice for being in the sun without having to put on sunscreen. ... It will be a regular on my summer hikes."

Men's Solstice Lightweight Pullover Hoodie

"For anyone on the fence, Ridge is an investment that you won’t regret. Material is super soft, lightweight and cleans up nicely. Perfect for the gross humid dog days of Midwest summer."

Wander Crew Neck T-Shirt

"This hoodie is a no brainer for kids when going outside on sunny days. It's especially great on those days when you don't feel like reapplying messy sunscreen, since the shirt offers sun protection."

Lynn

Kids Solstice Lightweight Pullover Hoodie

"I love these shirts and purchased more shortly after my first. They’ve performed exactly as I hoped for traveling in warm/humid weather. They’re actually the most comfortable shirts I own, incredibly soft, comfortable and well fitting."

Jared K.

Journey Merino Wool T-Shirt

"I use it while out riding my mountain bike and it keeps my neck warm and protected from the sun, the gaiter has great temperature regulation and does not get extremely warm while working out."
