Our daily choices affect our future. Devold has been making responsible choices since 1853, opting for natural and sustainable solutions. Merino wool is one of these choices. Few still know that it is the perfect material for summer use, especially for hiking, running, cycling, and other leisure activities, so we compiled this article.

Merino wool is a 100% natural fiber that offers excellent protection against weather conditions. It is breathable, quick-drying, and antibacterial, making it an ideal material for summer use as well. Merino wool comes from merino sheep that have adapted to live in demanding conditions. In cold winter, merino warms effectively against the skin, and in summer heat, it breathes and keeps you comfortable.

Superior properties of merino wool:

Moisture transfer and antibacterial properties
Merino wool absorbs moisture and keeps the body dry, preventing odor formation, and keeps you comfortable even on long cycling trips or runs. On a rainy hike, merino wool ensures that the garment does not chafe or feel uncomfortable.
The curly wool fibers contain more air, which improves insulation and keeps you cool in summer. This sounds crazy, but it's true: Merino wool is really comfortable even in summer heat!
Wool generates heat even when wet and also absorbs moisture effectively, making it comfortable even in cooler conditions.
Devold's products and production are traceable and responsibly made. Over 60% of products are traceable all the way to the sheep farm, and synthetic materials are used only when necessary (e.g., to improve fiber durability). Devold's farms adhere to strict animal welfare standards.
Quality and durability
Devold's clothes are designed to last for generations. Over 70% of products are designed to last at least three years, making them a long-lasting and environmentally friendly choice. When properly cared for, a wool garment can be a lifetime purchase, so it's worth investing in its care and maintenance. Simply airing is enough to clean a stain-free wool garment. Washed at a low temperature, by hand or on a wool wash program, your merino wool products will be as good as new. Light steaming smooths the surface and restores the shape after washing. NOTE! Too warm a wash will shrink the product, so it's important to follow the product's care instructions.
Environmental friendliness
Devold has reduced plastic packaging by 20% and cardboard by 26% since 2018. All production waste is recycled and reused in production whenever possible, supporting sustainable development. Wool is a natural material, and because it is made to withstand use, it is expected to last for years.
Did you know: A large part of the textile industry's burden comes from production, but also from excessive purchasing and non-recycled textile waste, so every consumer can make a difference with their choices.
Animal welfare
The wool used by Devold comes from farms that adhere to the "The Five Freedoms for Animal Welfare" principles, ensuring good treatment of animals. When you choose a Devold wool product, you can trust it is mulesing-free. Devold's wool is 100% mulesing-free, sourced from farmers who meet specific criteria. Most of the wool comes from New Zealand, where mulesing is banned by law. All wool is certified mulesing-free, ensuring animal welfare and high wool quality.

By choosing Devold's merino wool products, you choose responsibility, quality, and sustainability. Make a choice that supports both you and the environment.
