Even after a hard week of living on the road, slipping into the Merino Air Hoody has the promising feel of a fresh start to a new day. We make all our Merino Air baselayers from a blend of Merino wool from the grasslands of Patagonia (51%) and 100% recycled polyester (49%). We treat the wool fibers with an innovative spinning technology that increases their loft and makes them feel nearly weightless. The lofted wool and recycled polyester yarns are then knit directly into a seamless garment. The result is a baselayer with superior performance qualities; it offers outstanding warmth for its weight, provides exceptional breathability, maintains the natural odor-fighting properties of wool, and improves wicking, durability, and dry times compared to conventional merino baselayers. Our Merino Air is soft against the skin, stretches to move with the body and features 3D construction to eliminate seams and chafe points throughout the entire garment. Details include a high collar for wind protection and an anatomically shaped, self-fabric hood for additional warmth.
