What is our commitment to animal welfare?
We only use wool from Merino sheep bred on farms in South Africa that do not practise mulesing.
We decided to build a partnership with a group of breeders (Konsortium Merino) to guarantee respect for animal welfare and the environment.
We have full traceability which allows us to guarantee the origin of the wool.

How have we reinforced the durability of our Merino wool T-shirt?
We use a BETA-SPUN yarn structure in which the polyamide threads coat the Merino wool fibres and protect them from rubbing and cuts without affecting their properties.
Odour control
Wool from Merino sheep naturally controls the spread of bacteria that cause bad odours. This Merino wool T-shirt can therefore be worn
several days in a row and means you can take less clothes when trekking making for a lighter backpack!
Reduction of the freezing effect
After exercise and sweating heavily, Merino wool prevents evaporation helping to maintain body temperature by absorbing the majority of the body's moisture. This therefore reduces any unpleasant chilling effect.
Conversely, a synthetic material lets the body temperature go back down again quicker.
Tip before use
For a softer feel, wash your T-shirt before first use.
How do I wash my Merino wool T-shirt?
We recommend that you machine wash your Merino wool T-shirt at 30° on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent.
Dry flat and NEVER tumble dry unless you want it to shrink by one or two sizes!
