Men’s merino wool jumpers – a top choice for performance and style

Why merino wool?

Merino wool has ultra fine fibres (typically 17 to 21 microns) which makes it soft and light in weight but highly insulating. As merino wool is a natural fibre it also ensures breathability and moisture wicking. This means that you don’t sweat when you are wearing merino wool and also if it gets wet the water drips off it.

Merino wool also acts a natural antibacterial and after wearing it, you can hang it over a chair to breathe rather than washing it.

Due to the above mentioned factors a men’s merino wool jumper can be worn in various settings. Your men’s merino wool jumper can be worn inside the office during the week or a piece to layer on the weekend when visiting a park or going to a sporting event. A men’s merino wool jumper can be worn over a T-shirt or a collared shirt. Which ever way you mix it up, a men’s merino wool jumper is the ultimate piece for any outfit.

In Australia, most men love a men’s merino wool jumper that is versatile, so a men’s merino wool v neck jumper in navy blue, charcoal grey or black is the staple investment piece.

Woollen jumpers – timeless wardrobe essentials

One of the main reasons people like buying woollen jumpers is because they are long lasting. Conversely, when you purchase a synthetic fast fashion jumper they will not get the same lifespan. A well manufactured woollen jumper will last for many years if you follow the care instructions.
