Merino Skins underwear constantly monitors the body's temperature and moisture levels and naturally adjust body temperature to maintain the optimum comfort level. Merino Skins in cold or damp environments instantly generates heat through a unique molecular process known as the heat of sorption. In hot or warm environments, Merino Skins release moisture as vapor, thus cooling down the body. Truly natures miracle thermostat.

Almost all merino wool base layer garments on the market are made from a fabric known as single knit or jersey fabric. These fabrics are knitted possessing only one single layer – this knitting style can be compared to ladies stockings, where if a small hole or run appears in the fabric, the fabric pulls away like a drawstring and is ruined for life. Single knit jersey fabric is primarily used to save cost as there is less wool in the fabric, this however also results in compromising fabric performance with reduced garment life despite the actual wool fiber being of high quality.

This is why so many experience competitors garments giving up only after a few washes.

Merino Skins however are made from a superior fabric known as double knit or interlock fabric -where two layers of fabric are interlocked together – resembling a 2 ply construction, resulting in a fabric that is super soft, durable and long lasting.

Our fabric is run-resistant, firmer and much more stable than all the merino products on the market today. This is why our garments can be machine washed (no hand washing necessary) and can be tumble dried warm and will last and last.

Our double knit interlock fabric provides a much higher level of insulation than competitors single knit garments due to our twin set of yarns knitted together resulting air pockets formed between the two sets of yarns, trapping warm air between the fibers providing a superior level of insulation  – ensuring Merino Skins will keep you warm when you need it most.

Thousands of Merino Skins users around the world have already experienced the double knit interlock fabric difference.
