Here is a short roundup of some of the advantages of Merino wool:
Smell: One of the Merino Wool superpowers is that it is naturally resistant to smells. This means that you can wear a mercine shirt several times before needing to wash it. How many times? I would say that it depends on where you are and what you are doing, but usually three to seven times. Our best choice is, after all, called 72 -hour shirt, because it is how long you can wear it before it needs a washing.
Thermoregulation: Merino wool can keep you in the cold and fresh with the heat. Yes, there are limits to this-nephew T-shirt will keep you fresh on a warm summer day in the Tropici-ma Merino far exceeds cotton and synthetics.
Way of humidity: This is important for whatever you wear during excursions or in the gym. Merino wool is excellent in moving moisture away from the skin, through the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly. This is the reason why it is such a good level.
Versatility: Merino wool shirts are perfect for traveling, hiking, backpack on the shoulder and as everyday shirts for the city. They can also be used all year round, even in the cold, as part of a good stratification system.
Packable: The Merino wool shirts tend to make the smaller suitcases of cotton and many synthetics, which means that they occupy less space in the bag when they travel. Combine this with the resistance to the smells above and you have the travel shirt par excellence.
The t-shirts of a cotton and nylon mixture may have an edge is the duration. Merino wool is not really less resistant in my experience, but it can pill, which is where the wool fibers break and gather in small knots, forming balls on your shirt. A little pilling is not a big problem, but if a pills t-shirt you know very much that it is made of very short wool fibers, rather than longer continuous fibers.
Unfortunately, most manufacturers do not advertise the length of their filate fibers, which is where our tests enter. I hate the pills and I eliminated all the shirts that have beaten me, except one, which I like anyway (the pills is not so bad).
