Key Benefits

Ultra-Fine 17.5 Micron Merino Wool:** Crafted with 90% premium Merino wool, the fibers are exceptionally fine at just 17.5 microns. This ensures a luxurious, silk-like feel against the skin that is completely itch-free and safe for sensitive skin types.

FemaleFirst™ Patented Technology:** Designed specifically for the female anatomy, this patented construction provides a body-mapped fit. It offers high elasticity and shape retention, ensuring the garment moves with your body without shifting or feeling restrictive during intense activity.

Advanced Thermal Regulation:** Engineered to perform in a wide temperature range from -15°C to 5°C, the natural wool fibers provide superior insulation while remaining highly breathable and quick-drying to prevent post-exercise chills.

Strategic Ventilation:** Features integrated mesh panels on the back and body-mapped breathable zones. These allow for optimal airflow where you need it most, while the front zipper with a chin guard allows for manual temperature adjustment.

Natural Odor Resistance & Protection:** The high wool content naturally inhibits odor-causing bacteria, keeping you fresh during multi-day excursions. Additionally, the fabric provides natural UV protection for high-altitude skiing and hiking.

How to Use

This garment is designed to be worn as a "next-to-skin" base layer. For maximum thermal efficiency during skiing, snowboarding, or winter trekking, wear it directly against your skin under a technical mid-layer or shell jacket. Use the front half-zip to quickly vent heat during steep climbs and zip it up fully to protect your neck when the wind picks up.

Care & Safety

This high-performance wool blend is engineered for durability and is machine washable. The specialized fabric construction ensures the garment will "not deform after washing," maintaining its slim, supportive fit over time. To preserve the natural properties of the Merino wool, wash with similar colors and avoid the use of bleach or heavy fabric softeners.
