Merino Wool clothing is being described as the perfect four season clothing.
You don’t have to love sheep but you do have to thank them for their coat. By now you’ve probably heard that Merino sheep are a special bread. Merino wool is the softest and strongest clothing fabric available today. However, it doesn’t stop there. The same wool that keeps Merino sheep warm in harsh winters and cool in scorching summers is now available to you and me in the form of all weather Merino clothing. The Merino fibers are long and fine which results in a luxurious feel (i.e. no itching) and wicking power greater than any other fabric on the market today.
Merino wool aids in regulating body temperature by controlling the rate of evaporative cooling. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know this means staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Each fiber of Merino wool contains thousands of tiny air pockets which act like insulation, protecting you against the heat or cold. The unique attributes of Merino wool combine to diminish the damp feeling you can get from wearing wet clothing.
No matter the weather or time of year, make sure you’re wearing Merino wool clothing. Just don’t forget to thank those sheep!
