Search & Rescue Donation Program
Your merino wool base layers can help save a life!
In response to a surge of rescues across the country, Minus33 is asking for your help in supporting our nationwide network of first responder groups. We provide these kits free of charge to hundreds of SAR teams across the United States and Canada.
Minus33 recycles gently-worn returns and garments with minor defects into “SAR Warming Kits".
Each kit contains a top & bottom Merino wool base layer, a wool hat, wool socks, and wool gloves.
Essentially a head-to-toe outfit of warming-wool clothing to be applied to victims to prevent or delay hypothermia.
