For anyone spending time outdoors this winter, Merino wool remains one of the most versatile cold-weather fibres available. Australian Merino, in particular, is valued for its softness, breathability and comfort, with natural properties that help regulate body temperature, manage moisture and resist odour.
XTM’s Australian Merino collection includes thermals, underwear, socks, beanies, gloves, balaclavas, neckwear and sleeping bag liners designed for everyday wear, travel and outdoor activities. The range uses Woolmark® -certified Australian Merino wool, a natural fibre that is renewable and biodegradable.
Merino’s appeal lies in its combination of performance and comfort. It provides warmth in cold conditions while remaining breathable when temperatures fluctuate. The fibre is also naturally odour-resistant, wrinkle-resistant and elastic, making it well suited to extended wear and multi-day adventures.
Key characteristics of Merino wool include:
- Temperature regulation
- Breathability
- Moisture management
- Odour resistance
- Softness against the skin
- Natural elasticity
- Renewable and biodegradable composition
The collection’s wool is sourced from Australian Merino sheep through Woolmark® certified supply chains. The Woolmark® certification verifies the authenticity of the wool, sourced from a network of 60,000 Australian wool growers.
As more consumers become aware of the superiority and sustainability of natural-fibre over synthetic materials, Aussie Merino wool stands out as a practical option for winter clothing and outdoor gear.
