The Advantages of Merino Wool

Ortovox make their baselayer garments out of 100% pure merino wool. This is the highest grade wool available and it offers a wealth of benefits over synthetic baselayers: it's very warm and cosy, it stays warm when damp or wet, it doesn't smell and it is easy to care for. In fact we rate merino wool so highly we've got a whole page to explain it's benefits.

Ortovox Baselayer Weights
