Merino Wool Fleece | Women's

No. At 20 microns, the fibres are fine enough to bend against your skin instead of prickling, where regular wool is around 35 microns. It’s soft enough to wear next to the skin.

Woven merino has more loft, durability and wind resistance. PureFleece® is woven on Rapier looms at a mill in Yorkshire. Weaving is slower and more precise than knitting, which gives a denser, more stable fabric that holds its shape.

Yes, it’s what it was made for. It performs on the coldest days but stays light and breathable, so you don’t feel clammy when you’re working hard. It’s also naturally odour resistant, so it stays fresh over multi-day trips.

No, it’s a three-season fabric. It stays comfortable up to around 20°C, and the same crimp that traps heat in winter releases it when you warm up, so actually helps to keep you cool too.

Yes, and it stays warm when it’s damp. Merino’s natural crimp traps warm air when it’s cold and lets excess heat escape when you warm up. Woven 360gsm PureFleece® has an ultimate warmth to weight ratio, with none of the clamminess of polyester.
