Description
When you think of a thick woolen scarf, hat, or coat, it often brings to mind cold winter months, when we try to protect ourselves from the chill. However, merino wool has an entirely different application, and can be worn even in spring and summer. How is that possible? Thanks to its unique thermoregulating properties, merino wool is perfect for warmer days too. One of our recommendations is the Outdoor Wool Pro long-sleeve merino wool shirt for men.
What Makes the Merino Long-Sleeve Shirt Special and Why Is It Great for Various Activities?
Merino sheep live in mountainous areas, where temperatures drop to -30°C in winter and rise to 35°C in summer. In order to prevent freezing or overheating, their wool had to adapt to the prevailing conditions. Merino wool is exceptionally fine, and between the fibers, there’s a network of micro channels filled with warm air generated by the animal. This creates a kind of buffer that helps maintain an optimal body temperature. Inspired by this, we created a long-sleeve merino wool shirt that works perfectly not only on cold days but also on warm summer ones.
The shirt’s dual-layer knit structure efficiently wicks moisture away from the skin during physical activity. Its seamless construction prevents chafing and irritation, making it ideal for a full day of hiking. We also applied the AirBalance system, which includes ventilation zones with micro-holes in areas that tend to sweat more—these cover 15% of the shirt’s surface. The fibers of merino wool are three times thinner than human hair, allowing the shirt to bend and flex comfortably against the skin without itching or discomfort.
