If you’re looking for any kind of cold weather clothing, whether it be long underwear, thermal socks, or just a good, cozy sweater, you need look no further than clothing made of Merino wool.
Merino is a specific kind of sheep that is prized the world over for its wool. It is famous for its softness and warmth, and because this sheep is very adaptable, it is a very popular animal for breeding. For anyone involved in athletic clothing, or who participates in athletic or other physical activities such as running, hiking, snowboarding or skiing, cold weather cycling or mountain climbing, you are certainly very familiar and appreciative of the fine qualities of merino wool. And if you are someone who makes your living in the cold, harsh weather of winter, you are probably just as appreciative, if not more so.
For athletes, there are numerous benefits of merino wool over other, more traditional wool. For example, merino wool does an excellent job of regulation body temperature. It keeps the wearer warm without causing unnecessary overheating. At the same time, it does a miraculous job of wicking perspiration away from the skin and towards the outside of the garment, where it can evaporate. This is of critical importance to keep your skin dry, comfortable, and prevent it from getting too cold too fast if and when you begin to reduce your physical exertion.
In addition to drawing the moisture of sweat away from the body, it is also somewhat water repellent to moisture coming from the outside. So a light rain or drizzle shouldn’t be a bother to the lucky athlete who is working out in merino wool clothing.
Finally, due it its natural anti-microbial properties, merino wool helps prevent clothes from smelling bad if and when you sweat in them. Let me tell you, this is one giant plus when it comes to your winter thermal socks!
