Why merino wool is perfect for hot weather and sports?

Merino wool is a popular material in winter because it is soft, non-itchy, and provides excellent insulation. Few people realize that merino wool is actually one of the best materials for spring and summer as well. It is suitable for running, sports, and other sweaty activities in any weather.

Below are important points to support the claims of merino wool's excellence for summer use.

1. Odor control

Compared to various synthetic sportswear, wool does not trap sweat bacteria, so it stays odor-free as bacteria do not thrive and multiply between the fibers. Wool requires much less washing than synthetic materials, making merino wool an excellent choice for trips or travel.

Merino wool has a natural resistance to the growth of microorganisms, which are the primary cause of odors. Wool can be worn for several days without smelling, as long as the fabric is dried and aired out after use. This is due to merino wool's excellent ability to absorb moisture quickly and evaporate it immediately. Additionally, the surface of wool fibers is structured in such a way that odor-causing bacteria do not thrive on it as they do on smooth synthetic fibers.

2. Maintains even temperature

Merino wool has a cooling effect in hot weather, while its thermal properties are unparalleled when the temperature drops. This miraculous material also insulates when wet, so a summer shower won't catch you off guard. On the other hand, merino wool does not feel slimy or chafing, even if you sweat a bit while hiking in hot weather.

Merino wool fibers are curly in shape and nature, and this structure creates millions of tiny air pockets that keep the temperature fairly constant. This structure also explains why the garment feels comfortable even when damp and why it dries so quickly.

Also, merino wool naturally regulates temperature by absorbing and releasing moisture. When the temperature rises, the wool immediately starts evaporating moisture, which provides cooling. Merino wool works like our bodies: it "sweats" to cool down.

3. Exceptionally comfortable to wear

Merino wool is fine-quality and soft, making it extremely pleasant to wear. It does not itch, so even most of the people with sensitive skin can enjoy merino wool products without skin irritation. The natural elasticity of merino wool ensures that the garment adapts to body movements and provides optimal comfort.

4. More space in your backpack 

Merino wool does not require constant washing; usually, airing it out after use is sufficient. This means you don't need to pack many shirts for a trip, saving space and reducing the weight of your load. Of course, after a longer trip, washing merino wool garments according to the care instructions might be a good option. We recommend using a detergent designed for wool, which gently cleans the dirt clinging to the fibers.


5. Environmental perspective

Wool is naturally biodegradable. Because wool has self-cleaning properties, it significantly reduces the need for water washing: minimizing unnecessary water consumption and extending the garment's lifespan, as most of the time, airing it out is sufficient instead of a harsh wash.
