Merino wool active clothing is designed to be worn next to the skin, providing user comfort by maintaining body temperature and controlling moisture. They are highly wicking (will spread moisture out over a large area), fast drying and breathable. It is therefore essential to maintain these properties when caring for merino wool clothing.

Merino wool needs to be cared for properly to keep it in top condition…

Merino wool is fantastic for regulating your temperature and controlling body moisture, but to keep it functioning properly care must be taken when washing.

It is recommended to wash merino wool items in mild liquid detergents and to avoid using powder or bio detergents, which contain enzymes. Using conventional household detergents or fabric softeners can impair wicking properties by causing the fabric to retain moisture. This leads to reduced wicking capabilities and slow drying of the fabric, resulting in reduced user comfort. Additionally, standard household softeners can lead to pilling over a number of washes.
