WHAT ARE OUR COMMITMENTS TO ANIMAL WELFARE?
We exclusively use wool from Merino sheep raised on farms in South Africa that do not practice mulesing.
We have decided to build a partnership with a group of breeders (Konsortium Merino) to guarantee respect for animal welfare and the environment.
We thus have complete traceability, enabling us to guarantee the wool's origin.

HOW DID WE IMPROVE THE DURABILITY OF OUR MERINO WOOL T-SHIRTS?
We used a BETA-SPUN yarn structure in which polyamide filaments form a thin sheath around the merino wool fibers. This protects them from chafing and cutting without compromising their benefits.
ODOR CONTROL
The components used limit perspiration odors. Laboratory-tested to ISO 17299-3
So you can take fewer clothes with you on treks!
LIMITING THE FREEZING EFFECT
After heavy exertion and perspiration, wool helps maintain body temperature, whereas a synthetic material brings the temperature down more quickly.
The unpleasant cooling effect or "freezing effect" is limited by merino wool.
A FINAL WORD OF ADVICE BEFORE USE?
For even softer components, wash your T-shirt before using it for the first time.
HOW DO I WASH MY T-SHIRT CONTAINING MERINO WOOL?
We recommend that you machine-wash your Merino wool tee-shirt at 30°, normal cycle, preferably with a liquid detergent.
Dry flat. NEVER tumble dry unless you want a merino doll tee-shirt!
