RWS-certified stands for Responsible Wool Standard, which ensures that the merino wool used in our products comes from farms that prioritize animal welfare and sustainable farming practices. By choosing RWS-certified products, you support ethical sourcing and contribute to better treatment of sheep and the environment.

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification means that the fabric has been rigorously tested for harmful substances and is safe for human health. This certification gives you peace of mind knowing that the clothing you wear is free from toxic chemicals, making it a safer choice for you and your family.

Merino wool is renowned for its softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. It helps regulate body temperature, keeping you warm in cold conditions and cool when it's hot. Additionally, Merino wool resists odor, making it an excellent choice for outdoor activities like skiing and snowboarding.

Gusseted underarms are a design feature that adds extra fabric under the arms, allowing for greater freedom of movement. This design improves mobility during physical activities, making the garment more comfortable to wear, especially for those who lead an active lifestyle.

Thumbhole cuffs feature openings in the sleeves that allow you to place your thumbs through, keeping the sleeves in place while layering. This design prevents the sleeves from riding up during movement, providing added warmth and comfort, making it ideal for activewear enthusiasts.
