Merino Wool Athletic Wear

When you are exercising, you want to be as comfortable as possible, so what you wear when you are running, hiking or biking is very important. Nothing is more annoying than wearing something too tight, too loose, too heavy or too bulky. Finding the proper type of clothing made with the right materials is essential.


Even though it may seem that wool would not be a good choice for athletic wear, that is simply not the case at all. Merino wool is the perfect type of wool since it is not too coarse or itchy; it's a light wool that is absolutely perfect for athletic wear for many reasons.

SOFT AND LIGHTWEIGHT
Merino wool is the softest sheep’s wool there is. This makes it comfortable to wear. It is also very light, so you don’t feel weighed down while wearing it, which is important while participating in vigorous activity.

WARM
Like other wools, merino wool is wonderful for keeping in warmth. This is very helpful, but especially when combined with the characteristic of breathability. This type of wool has the ability to regulate body temperature, which is essential.

ABSORBENT
Water absorbent like other wools, merino wool draws in moisture and keeps it away from the skin. This is a major advantage over synthetic materials that can trap moisture in, leaving you feeling wet and soggy. Merino wool also does not lose warmth when wet, like other fabrics do, such as cotton.

ANTIBACTERIAL
Wools tend to be somewhat antibacterial. This is helpful in athletic wear as it helps resist odors that are caused by sweating.

Choosing merino wool active wear over synthetic materials is a good choice for so many reasons; for example, it is natural and renewable. It is able to provide much that you cannot get from less breathable synthetic clothing.

The thought of running in wool clothing may sound absurd. Among other things we commonly associate wool with dry cleaning or at least hand washing and who wants to do that to their exercise clothes? With Merino wear there is no need for it. It can actually be washed in the washing machine just like your other clothes!

If you are training for a race or planning on a major hike, or just exercise regularly in cool weather, merino wool lite athletic wear is the perfect choice when it comes to deciding what to wear. Many of the problems posed by synthetic materials and even cotton are not a problem with merino wool at all.

It is well worth your while to invest in some good quality merino wool for your exercise. You will feel more comfortable than you ever have before!
