Wool isn’t just for silly hats and winter comfort, and Merino has been the buzzword in the sports industry over the past five years thanks to its ability to keep you warm when the climate is cold, and cool when it’s hot.
Leading the trend is Woolmark, which works with plenty of well-known sports brands, including Nike, Adidas and stylish cycle brand Rapha to increase their usage of the wonder wool in sportswear.
Merino wool is particularly beneficial when it comes to stretch-related activities such as gym workouts and yoga, as it won't stretch out of shape and go all baggy on you. The wool also provides high UV protection, is naturally breathable and odour resistant… We're running out of excuses not to go to the gym now…
