Benefits of Merino Wool
Moisture Wicking
Merino wool is the best fiber to regulate moisture. It does this by absorbing sweat from your skin and releasing it into the air. Whether you're hiking, running, biking, on the job, or just relaxing at home, our wool helps keep you dry and comfortable all day long.
Soft & Comfortable
Merino wool fibers are much finer than traditional wool, creating a luxuriously soft feel that won’t itch or irritate your skin. Comfortable enough for everyday wear and gentle enough for sensitive skin, it’s a natural choice for underwear, base layers and next-to-skin comfort.
Highly Breathable
Merino wool’s unique structure allows air to circulate freely, helping to regulate your body temperature in both hot and cold weather conditions. Whether you're layering up for winter or staying cool in summer, Merino keeps you comfortable by letting your skin breathe.
Anti-Microbial
Merino wool naturally resists odor-causing bacteria, keeping you fresher for longer. No lingering smells, even after extended wear. Perfect for travel, outdoor adventures, and everyday life.
Insulates When Wet
Merino wool can hold up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet or clammy against the skin. Unlike cotton or synthetic fabrics, it keeps insulating when damp, making it a smart choice for unpredictable weather and high-output activity.
Fire Resistant
Merino wool is naturally fire-resistant and self-extinguishing. It will not melt or stick to your skin like synthetic fabrics. A trusted option for first responders, campfire safety, or any high-heat environment.
UV Protection
Our Merino wool clothing helps protect you from the sun’s harmful rays, with different levels of UPF based on fabric weight:
-
Microweight (145 GSM): UPF 20
-
Lightweight (170 GSM): UPF 25
-
Midweight (245 GSM): UPF 50+
-
Heavyweight (400 GSM): UPF 50+
These natural UV-blocking properties make Merino wool ideal for long days or the beach or above treeline.
Renewable and Sustainable
Merino wool is a natural, biodegradable fiber with a low environmental footprint. Grown by Australian Merino sheep and shorn seasonally, it is a renewable material that supports responsible farming practices.

Why Merino Wool?
Moisture Wicking
Use this section to explain a set of product features, to link to a series of pages, or to answer common questions about your products. Add images for emphasis.
Anti-Microbial
Merino Wool fibers naturally reject any bacteria in moisture or sweat as it is wicked away, so foot fungus and smelly odor will not be a problem while wearing our products.
Insulates When Wet
Wool will absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet or clammy. If you do get wet, wool will insulate you better than cotton or polyester materials.
Fire Resistant
Merino Wool insulates against high temperatures and does not readily catch fire. If it does, it self-extinguishes. When Merino burns, it doesn’t melt and stick to the skin like synthetic fabrics do.
UV Protection
Don’t worry about sunburn on a sunny day summiting a peak. Lightweight layers have a UPF rating of 25. Midweight and Expedition have a UPF rating of 50+.
Renewable
Merino Wool has a low environmental footprint and naturally returns to the elements. Shear a merino sheep in the morning, and in the afternoon they’re happily nibbling their way towards renewing next season’s clip.

Beanie arrived with a big torn . Beanie is defective, is like someone cut it with scissors - big torn. Very disappointed 😞I am giving only four stars for sending me a defective beanie. If Amazon were have send it in good condition - I would have given the beanie 5 stars. The beanie seems very soft no scratchy at all, the material is like clothes material. Is not very thick , but I am sure it is warm being made with Merino wool.
Solid material and feel. Very comfortable on the head and enough space for my head. Keeps my noggin warm on all my morning walks and absorbs the sweat with no problems.
Just received this today and threw it on my head about as soon as the packed opened. 100% Superfine Marino Wool. High frequency attire right here. Wool is delicate. Hand wash and tumble on low for longevity.
This is such a great find what a great hat ! This material is very soft and very comfortable. It looks great with just about any thing. I originally bought this hat a few months back for fishing during the summer up in Alaska. Early morning, fishing on the river is still a little cold there.. recently took it with me on a trip back to Anchorage and the material being very lightweight rolled up well in my luggage. Wore the hat while hiking around in the snow it kept my head very warm in 25° weather. I have very long hair and was able to wear it just over the top and a few times I stuffed my hair up in the hat and it worked well. Overall, this is a nice product and would recommend.
I haven’t had a chance to wear the hat in very cold weather yet, but the wool is very soft and not at all scratchy. It’s stretchy and comfortable, covering my ears without any need to tug it down constantly as I’ve had to do with others I’ve owned over the years. If you have longer hair, you should be able to wear this with your hair up or down, no problem. It’s like a combo hat and headband that is lightweight and easy to pack into a backpack or jacket pocket.I love the color, so bright and rich. The inside tag is not sewn into a seam, but sewn very close to the seam. It can be removed without damaging the fabric with careful use of a seam ripper. This makes the hat completely reversible.

Micro 145
Mid 245
Heavy 400
But this light also says 245
On another channel (where I ordered what I think it this equivalent) it says 230.
I actually have had several going back years. They're great from sleeping at home to big mountain accents. Merino doesn't irritate my bald head.

super comfy and good looking, hard to explain why it's so hard to find the perfect lightweight beanie but this is it for me
I’ve got several of these and they are great!
Bought a couple of these for my sister to wear as she deals with losing her hair from cancer treatments.
She is LOVING them!!
So soft and comfortable!!
Thanks for making a great product!
Exactly as described. Gorgeous amethyst color. Would order again (and will) in other colors :)
Fits too loose
Very soft wool
So far I’m pleased with the hat. It itches a little bit but that should disappear after a few washes.
Lightweight warmth. Small enough to stash in my pocket. Pretty perfect!
Fits just right, stays on your head, keeps your head warm and light weight.
I love the color, fit and quality of this beanie. If you’ve never tried 100% Merino wool this is a grest place to start. Wonderful product and so stylish.
Ordered this hat to wear under my ski helmet. Very pleased with the quality, weight of material, and the color (Dlate blue).
Feels great on a bald head.
Perfect weight and fit. Well constructed and looks good.
Gift for my husband who loves daily walks - he loves it!
Second wool cuff beanie and I love it too, however, this one is black and I always wear red when I walk the dog. The puppy wears a red coat for safety.
