Garment Care & Sizing

Merino wool is nature's super-fibre.  It is naturally moisture-wicking and keeps you cool or warm depending on the conditions in your surrounding environment.  Merino also has natural anti-odour properties meaning it simply needs to be aired out between wears until you feel the need to wash it.

Washing instructions:  Spot clean with warm water as needed, otherwise put it on a cold, gentle cycle with some wool detergent.  Dry in the shade.  Please DO NOT put your merino in the dryer or bleach it.

It is important to take care of waterproof-breathable products in order for them to retain their properties.  Dirt, oils and sweat build up in the fabric membrane inhibiting the breathabity.  Your outerwear will have a label on the inside of the garment with the appropriate care instructions.  If your garment only has a few dirty patches simply spot clean with some cold water and a cloth, and hang in somewhere shady to dry.  

If you outerwear is in dire need of a wash, launder outerwear on a cold or lukewarm, gentle cycle, ensuring all zippers are done up before washing.  Drip dry in shade or tumble dry on a LOW heat to replenish durable water repellant (DWR) coating.  If you feel that your product needs rewaterproofing or a deep clean, use a waterproof-breathable specific product.  Please DO NOT bleach, use fabric softener or dry clean your garment.
