Merino Wool T-Shirt – My First Impressions of a Merino Tech T-Shirt
/First Time Buying A Merino T-Shirt
After waiting for many tears, I finally bought a Merino wool T-shirt. Merino wool clothes are expensive. The are made from a specific type of Merino sheep wool and offer some unique characteristics.
Some of the benefits Merino clothes offer include:
- Super Soft & Comfortable
- Moisture Wicking & Odor Resistant
- Naturally regulates body temperature to keep you comfortable all year round
- Perfect for travel
What I have heard is that you can wear Merino clothes for a few days without any odour. Also, its natural heat-regulating property keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
The big disadvantage of Merino wool clothes is that they are very expensive. For example, a t-shirt can cost around $100. This is what kept me from buying a Merino t-shirt for a long time.
The t-shirt I bought is made by a brand called Merino Tech. It is made of 100% organic Merino sheep wool from New Zealand. When I first opened it, I was impressed right away.
The fabric feels very smooth and soft. It also looks high quality. I found a few Merino socks included as a gift. My main reason to buy a Merino wool t-shirt is for travel. I am going on a trip to the Philippines next week for almost a month and this will be a good opportunity to put my Merino wool t-shirt to the test.
