Choose the Right Merino Wool Layer for Your Needs
Merino wool base layers come in different weights. When the fabric weight is around 160g/m², the garment is pleasantly light, while models suited for winter use may have a fabric weight of around 220g/m². A proper merino wool base layer set keeps you warm even in hard frost!
When choosing a merino wool base layer top, it’s worth considering how high a collar you want: a turtleneck offers good protection when needed, while a low neckline works well if your other layers have generous collars. Some models have long cuffs with thumbholes – this kind of model also protects your wrists well. Merino wool base layer bottoms often feature a flat waistband so that, for example, the hip belt of your pack doesn’t dig in uncomfortably.
A moisture-wicking, breathable base layer should fit close to the skin – this way it can move moisture away effectively. A base layer top and bottoms that fit snugly but without squeezing keep you comfortable. In our selection you’ll find base layer bottoms, tops, bras and other base layers for men, women and children.
