10 Merino Wool Garments You Can’t Camp Without

Just last winter, we headed out on what would be an all day snowshoeing excursion. We were under-dressed, froze our butts off, and spent hours trying to regain feeling in parts that should never lose feeling. Moral of the story, being cold sucks – especially if you’re out for a long period of time with no real way to warm up. This exact situation is something you’ve likely experienced and never want to have happen again, which is where merino wool comes into play.

Layers are the key to staying warm, and merino wool is perfect for base layers. A good merino wool base layer will keep body heat in, while allowing sweat to wick away. The advantage of merino wool is that it’s antimicrobial, meaning it won’t retain odor or store all that sweat from a day full of adventures. Here are some of awesome merino wool products we’ve found that allow you to run around living an active life outdoors without making you uncomfortable in the winter.
