Merino has the ability to store extremely large volumes of moisture without causing the wearer to feel wet! It buffers moisture and passes it uniformly through the membrane to the outside environment. This eliminates the danger of rapid cooling during a chairlift ride after a strenuous powder session. Wear these pants with a first layer of Merino wool for extra comfort.

Information on Merino wool
Merino wool vs. synthetic materials
Merino wool is common in high-end, performance sportswear and commands a premium over synthetic fabrics. Compared to synthetic fabrics with a simple fiber structure, Merino wool fibers are soft and very thin. It has higher breathability and moisture regulating rates. In contrast to polyester, Merino wool feels warm and comfortable, and it retains warmth even when wet. It is excellent at regulating body temperature, especially when worn against the skin. And in contrast to other materials, it has excellent antibacterial properties and it’s odor neutralizing. You can simply leave your product to air, and you’ll be able to wear it again the next day.
Merino wool vs. wool in general
Several properties contribute to Merino's popularity for exercise clothing. At first, Merino is one of the softest types of wool available with an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. The fine wool fibers are so thin that they are even below the human itching threshold. Second, Merino wool fibers provide warmth, without overheating the wearer. It will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer because of the high thermo-regulating qualities. The more grams of Merino per m², the better for cold weather performance.
