Additional Information
Features
- Jersey fabric, comprised of 89% Merino wool/11% nylon core spun (Rapt™) yarn.
- Circular, with foldback hems.
- Reflective trim.
- UPF 30+
- Few natural fibers have the highly-functional properties of Merino, especially when it comes to thermo-regulation – keeping you comfortable across different combinations of outside temperature and physical activity.
- Assuming you are wearing the right weight Merino, you’ll find it actually cools you when you are hot and sweaty, and provides warmth when you’re cold and/or wet. We like 150 grams/meter² (GM) if it’s really hot, or 400GM when it’s really cold.
- Merino absorbs your body’s moisture, then transfers it outward, where it is released. In the summer, this has a cooling effect. When it’s cold, Merino’s inherent insulating qualities and its ability to move moisture away from your skin combine to make you feel warmer.
- Simply put, Merino’s seemingly magical properties allow you to enjoy more of your outdoor activity (if you are into that) without thinking too much about what you are wearing.
- Did we mention that it's also UV-absorbing and stain resistant? And that wool is naturally antimicrobial and helps reduce odor? Oh, and it doesn't wrinkle, either.
- We’ve included the number 17.5 in our labels to reference the actual fiber size – 17.5 microns – considered “super” or “ultra” fine, but what that really translates into is zero itch and a great feel on your skin.
- Worth mentioning is that QOR’s signature 17.5 Merinos are stitched from fabrics made with a nylon core yarn, with the Merino spun around that core. This combination gives you all the benefits of Merino (thermal, odor, and moisture control) with the added benefits of strength and durability due to its nylon core.
