Benefits of Merino Wool in Summer

It may be odd to hear, but merino wool clothing and accessories are one of the most comfortable garments to wear in summer! Breezy, lightweight and so soft - merino wool holds active fibres that can respond to any external temperature.

Whether it is gaining heat to keep you snug and warm during winter, or releasing heat to keep you cool during summer, merino wool will balance your skin’s microclimate perfectly on any occasion.

Merino Wool is Comfortable

Due to its incredibly fine and lightweight fibre, merino wool is extremely comfortable and luxuriously soft to the touch. Unlike wool blends mixed with synthetic fibres, merino wool clothing at The Wool Company are 100% all-natural, therefore, will not irritate the skin making them perfect for people with sensitive skin and little ones!

In summer, merino clothing for men and women at The Wool Company offers so many benefits. The natural fibres of merino wool hold the ability to draw moisture away from the skin and evaporate it into the air keeping you cool and comfortable in the heat. Wearing merino in summer is like air conditioning on your skin - cool, clean, dry and odour free.

With merino in summer, you are guaranteed to smell fresh all day long no matter what activity you have planned for the day (even on your most active days!). Why? This is due to the lightweight fibres of merino wool that trap odours and prevent odours from spreading from the garment.

Especially in summer, the weather is more changeable than ever - one moment you could find yourself in a heavy rain shower to the sun shining and the temperature increasing the next. In these frustrating moments, merino wool can offer so many benefits. Merino is a living fibre that can regulate your temperature and keep you dry, making it comfortable to wear in any weather condition. Not to mention merino wool also is a natural UV protectant. Therefore, merino in summer can protect your skin whilst looking stylish.

Invest in merino this summer with The Wool Company’s selection of merino tops and merino pants in a selection of styles and colours. Summer never looked and felt better with The Wool Company.

Merino Wool Can Regulate Body Temperature

Merino wool in summer can increase your comfort and health during warmer temperatures. The natural fabric’s protection against moisture, combined with its soft luxurious touch will leave your skin feeling comfortable and less exposed to prolonged moisture which will prevent any opportunity for bacterial buildup.

In super humid weather, we all tend to reach out for the lightest and most breathable garments we have in our closets. Though your first choice may be to wear cotton, silk or linen - you can now add lightweight summer merino garments from The Wool Company to your list. In addition to the many benefits merino in summer can offer to the wearer, merino is natural, biodegradable, renewable and beneficial for the environment.
