FAQs

Can I tumble dry this base layer?

No, tumble drying should be avoided as the heat will likely cause the wool fibers to shrink and damage the Lifa layer.

Is this suitable for high-intensity sports?

Yes, the 2-layer Lifa Merino construction is specifically designed to manage moisture during active movement.

Does the wool stay warm when wet?

Yes, Merino wool is well-known for its ability to retain heat even when it has absorbed moisture.

Should I wear anything underneath?

No, this base layer is designed to be worn directly against the skin to function as a moisture-wicking layer.

How often should I wash it?

Due to the natural antimicrobial properties of Merino wool, it does not need to be washed after every use unless it is heavily soiled.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy against the skin

Ensure the garment is clean and free of detergent buildup; if the itch persists, ensure you are not sensitive to natural wool fibers.

Material is pilling after several uses

Pilling is common with natural wool fibers; use a fabric shaver gently to remove pills or turn the garment inside out before washing to reduce friction.

Loss of elasticity or shape

Always reshape the garment while it is damp after washing and lay it flat to dry to prevent stretching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities thanks to Lifa technology
  • Natural warmth and odor resistance of Merino wool
  • Lightweight yet highly effective insulation
  • Versatile layering performance for various cold-weather sports

Cons

  • Requires careful machine washing to avoid shrinking
  • Fitted design may feel tight for those preferring loose clothing
  • Wool material requires specific care to prevent fiber damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your base layer lasts, follow these care instructions: machine wash on a delicate cycle using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the natural performance properties of the wool and damage the Lifa fibers. Lay flat to dry or hang dry in a shaded area; avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause significant shrinkage. For sizing, the product features a technical, fitted cut intended to sit close to the body for maximum efficiency. If you prefer a more relaxed fit for casual use, consider the specific sizing guide or sizing up.
