New Zealand Merino
Wool clothing is a major player in performance wear and outdoor
clothing with the development of merino wool so fine it is super
soft like cashmere. It is naturally stretchy. For those who prefer
natural fibers next to their skin. Our merino wool garments are
light weight and easy care machine washable. Merino wool long underwear
is the best and a great natural alternative to polypropylene plastic
longjohns.

The
merino sheep is noted for its very fine and thick wool. It is a
highland sheep and prospers in the cold and windblown mountains
of the South Island of New Zealand. Merino Sheep are now been bred
for the fineness of the wool fibers and it is found that merino
wool becomes super soft when the fiber thickness is under 20 microns.
Kermadec Adventure Wear is made from fibers under 18 microns so
it is guaranteed soft and luxurious like cashmere.
Imagine
the feel of a super soft natural fabric against your skin on a cold
wet day. If you have ever used polypropylene long underwear you
will notice the difference quickly in that the wool does not smell
bad after a hard day on the trail. Polypropylene smells bad because
it is plastic and your body is rejecting it. Polypropylene is the
most "hyped" product in the world. People actually believe that
it "wicks" water away from your skin. It is cheap plastic from Dupont
and "wicking" is a gimmick.
If
you are interested in natural soft fibers against your skin with
true natural performance you can do no better than superfine merino
wool. The New Zealand Nature Co. label is called Kermadec Adventure
Wear. The name comes from the Kermadec Islands and is synonymous
with great adventures.
Our
merino wool can be worn as outer or as merino wool long underwear,
thermal underwear. The leggings, T-shirts, and long sleeve tops
and all fashionable casual garments yet can still be used as performance
long underwear or thermal underwear. Merino wool has a natural stretchiness
so the leggings can be reasonable loose fitting or tight. The Merino
wool T-shirts are meant to be loose fitting casual as are the long
sleeve tops. They are made with superfine Merino wool under 18 microns
in thickness. The wool fiber is so thin that it bends against the
skin rather than pricking the skin as normal wool does. And it is
machine washable - easy care.
The
Merino Wool Pullover is new. It is pure merino wool and at 300grams
per meter weight, it is the natural alternative to plastic polar
fleece garments. Polar fleece has some uses, but not if you can
use the real thing for a reasonable price. The Kermadec performance
pullover is a pure merino wool pullover top and is machine washable.
