You won’t find better gear to keep you comfortable in all conditions than SmartWool,
whether you’re out tromping in rain, shine, heat or hail. It’s the best fiber in the world for cold and warm, wet and dry weather use, combining comfort and performance into one versatile package. Above all else comes the extraordinary comfort. Far from the itchy wool of yesteryear, SmartWool’s fibers are luxuriously soft. They come from New Zealand’s specially bred Merino sheep, whose super-fine fibers are as fit for pajamas as they are active-wear. Combine this with a production process that removes all itch and shrink and you get a layer you’ll never want to take off – even after the day’s journey brings you home.
But extraordinary comfort is only the beginning. This real tale lies in the fibers’ performance. Over the eons SmartWool’s fibers have evolved to keep our Merino sheep warm in the alpine winters and cool in the southern summers. This same natural temperature regulating process works for people as well. The secret is that each fiber harbors thousands of tiny air pockets which, like insulation in your home, act as a buffer against heat and cold. The fibers naturally regulate temperature, whether you’re climbing an 8,000 meter peak or running an Arizona marathon. They keep you warm when it’s cool and cool when it’s hot. The fibers also move moisture faster than any other material on the planet. This means you stay drier longer and
can say goodbye forever to the clamminess that comes from other materials.
