Merino Wool Thermal Long John

Australian merino sheep have to endure one of the most extreme weather variations available and this has ensured Australian wool growers have continued to improve the breeed of Australian merino sheep since their introduction to Australia in the early 1800's. Wool helps to protect sheep from the harsh environment of extreme cold and heat and is a natural choice for those people wanting natural fibre that is both durable and functional.

We use superfine Australian merino to help create an active irst layer of natural insulation against the skin. Superfine Merino helps to absorb the moisture from the surface of your skin and wick it to the next outer layer thus keeping you dry and warm.

Should the fibre get wet it will still maintain its warm properties by trapping warmth within the fibre, creating a warm layer against the skin. Besides, wool can absorb up to sixty per cent of its weight in moisture and still feel dry, so it continues to work well under extremely active conditions.

Due to its great ability to wick and breathe, superfine merino wool has the ability to work well under a wider range of conditions and is well suited as a base layer from the urban life of a city traveller to the extremes of mountaineering.
