Featuring a three micro-layer knit structure, Expedition Weight SUPER MERINO WOOL maintains a layer of air between an exterior and an interior fabric. The layer closest to your skin pulls moisture away, spreads it out and moves it to the outer layer for faster evaporation. This action allows the layer of air to maintain a more constant temperature. Most people enjoy Expedition Weight base layers when involved in "stop & go" activities in cold weather. Ideal uses: cold weather mountaineering, ice climbing, skiing and snowboarding. This is a western fit model and differs from Japanese sizes. Be sure to check the size chart before purchasing.

Specially Selected Wool Fibers
The outer layer of each individual fiber is covered in scales which help maintain warmth. Compared to other materials that reflect heat, SUPER MERINO Wool is a superior insulator.
Furthermore, the fibers that we utilize are more uniform in the number of crimps and their orientation, while maintaining great consistency in diameter. This allows for very few "stray" fibers that make traditional wool garments itchy and uncomfortable.

Natural Antibacterial Properties
Wool fabrics are naturally odor resistant due to wool’s unique characteristics.The fabric is highly breathable, easily moves perspiration away from the skin, creating a dry environment where odor causing bacteria cannot thrive.

Simple to Care For
All of Montbell’s SUPER MERINO Wool garments can be washed in the home. (Please use mild detergent, machine wash cold on the gentle cycle, and lay flat to dry.

Static Electricity Resistant
By introducing a small number of electron deductive carbon fibers into the thread we are able to produce a fabric that limits static build up during activity.

Base layers and the importance of layering

Hiking, trekking and climbing are all activities which involve swings in body temperature. When active, the body produces heat and perspires, and when finally emerging onto a ridge blasted by cold winds, the body temperature can drop to the point of shivering. Sudden rises or falls in body temperature can result in life-threatening issues such as hypothermia.
