Merino wool is sourced from Merino sheep and is known for its exceptional softness, warmth, and moisture-wicking properties. Unlike regular wool, merino wool is finer and softer, making it more comfortable to wear directly against your skin. It also helps regulate body temperature and naturally resists odors, making it ideal for active wear.

Flatlock seams are designed to create a smooth, flat seam that reduces bulk and minimizes chafing or irritation against the skin. This type of stitching enhances comfort during movement, making it particularly beneficial for athletic wear where you want to avoid distractions while being active.

Midweight (235gsm) fabric strikes a balance between being too heavy and too light, making it versatile for various winter activities. The "235gsm" measurement indicates the fabric's density, which helps determine its warmth and insulation properties, ensuring you stay comfortable in cooler temperatures without overheating.

Yes, merino wool is often recommended for sensitive skin due to its fine fibers that are softer and less irritating than regular wool. Its natural moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties also contribute to comfort, making it a great choice for those who may experience discomfort with other types of wool.
