Merino Benefits

In buying these garments you are not only looking after yourself, you are also helping to preserve our precious environment and helping to sustain a future for generations to come….

We make all our gear here in NZ and we have reduced waste and packaging to the barest minimum.

We use merino wool because it has been engineered by nature to outperform any man-made synthetics by far. It keeps you warm when conditions are freezing and it keeps you cool and fresh when it’s hot and humid. It doesn’t itch and you won’t stink after riding and not washing for days. It lasts longer and retains its shape. It’s a value choice. What more can we say... well heaps actually so here are some technical points for reference:

Super luxe

Merino is 100% natural and is grown by Merino sheep in the high country in NZ. With its high keratin and pure properties, it is hyper allergenic and the yarn is highly recommended by dermatologists to avoid skin irritation making it perfect to wear against the skin. It feels luxurious and super soft because the fibres in Merino are longer and finer so it doesn’t itch like normal wool.

Anti-Odour

Merino has antibacterial properties that resist the build-up of odours unlike synthetics that stink almost immediately they are exposed to bacteria.  It’s complex chemical structure locks the odour molecules within the fibre and only releases them when washed, so …. it won’t stink after riding for days

Regulates Temperature

Merino is an intelligent fibre – it warms when the temperature is cold and cools when the temperature is hot. It has a natural crimp which provides Merino garments with superior insulation and breathability.

Ultra-breathable

Merino has a natural ability to wick away moisture from the body. This helps to keep you dry, warm and comfortable.
