Tech Fabric Lightwave Merino

+Lightwave™ Merino

A bi-component thermal fabric combining merino and polyester yarns. Superfine 19.5 micron merino wicks sweat away from your skin while the polyester provides a durable, non-pill outer. Lightweight and machine washable.

• Composition: 46% merino; 54% polyester.
• Weight: 150 gsm.

+Man vs Wild

• Merino is unrivalled for comfort as a body layer.
• Its natural fibres help fend off the big stink on multi-day epics.
• Merino absorbs more moisture than synthetic fibres, mopping up excess sweat rather than letting it settle on your skin.
• However high-aerobic activities like cycling will often overload ordinary merino. Lightwave's polyester component repels moisture to reduce total saturation of the fabric - so it dries faster to help keep your cool. Ideal for going hard 'n' fast, and for wearing under your rain jacket.

+Hot 'n' Cold

Lightwave™ Merino regulates your temperature through a wide range of conditions. Delivering comfort in all but the hottest climes, as well as a thermal layer under a WindFoil™, microFoil™ or HydroFoil™ shell in winter.
