How does Merino wool work for everyday wear?
OPTIM™ technology, co-developed with Woolmark, weaves the merino fibre tight and structured, nothing like the wool you're picturing. We're also in the process of Woolmark certification for version 2.
Merino is naturally odour resistant, so it handles multiple days of wear without a wash. It regulates temperature in the heat and the cold, dries fast, and sheds zero microplastics.
Construction Notes
Crotch Gusset
A dedicated gusset panel in the crotch spreads load across the seam instead of concentrating it in one spot, more room to move, less strain on the stitching.
Back & Side Pockets
A back pocket and side hip pockets added in V2. Space for a phone, keys and a wallet, so the walk doesn't need a bag.
