WHAT ARE OUR COMMITMENTS IN FAVOUR OF 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) in order to guarantee respect for animal well-being.
This also offers full traceability, meaning we can guarantee the origin of the wool.

Odour control
The components used reduce bad odours. Laboratory tested according to ISO 17299-3
This means you can carry less clothing when trekking!
Sizing and fit
This T-shirt has a fitted cut for enhanced moisture transfer to the outside of the fabric. Select your usual size or one size larger if you prefer a looser fit.
Reduction of the freezing effect
When you make a physical effort and sweat heavily, the merino wool easily traps the insulating warm air and can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture without making you feel damp, which is appreciable in cool weather.
In hot, dry weather, the evaporation of the water in the wool absorbs energy, which cools the body slightly at the same time.
Do you have a final word of advice before using it?
For a softer feel, wash your t-shirt before first use.
HOW TO WASH YOUR T-SHIRT MADE WITH MERINO WOOL?
We recommend that you machine wash your Merino wool t-shirt at 30° on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent.
Dry flat. NEVER tumble dry unless you want to end up with a Merino T-shirt fit only for a doll!

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Test product
We've tested the material in a climate-controlled chamber in order to determine its performance level. The results highlighted the heat-regulation properties of wool. Indeed, after making a physical effort and sweating a lot, wool helps to maintain a consistent body temperature while synthetic fabrics cool down faster. The unpleasant cooling or "freezing effect" is therefore reduced by the merino wool.

Our team of designers is based at the foot of Mont Blanc, in the Haute-Savoie region (France). All year round, our designers create and develop products that are appealing, simple, and technologically advanced. These are then ruthlessly tested in the field because we believe that the only way to continually improve is to test the products under the real-life conditions that you will experience.
