The secret to the Thermawool is blending merino wool with just the right number of microfibers to make the ideal technical thermal fabric to breathe and manage moisture. Thermawool has the benefits of Merino Wool with a soft fleece against your skin. Odor Control neutralizes sweat and odor while moisture management moves moisture from the skin to keep you warm and dry. Our Terramar Thermawool Half Zip is ideal for a layering piece, on its own, or with the Thermawool Pant.
Layering is the key to cold weather comfort. Most people understand the idea of layering their clothing for outdoor activity: first, the wicking layer; second, the insulation layer and third the wind and weather layer. The key to making it work for you just takes a little practice. A comment we often hear is that, once out on the trail for 10-15 minutes, people are too hot! What a great problem: to be too hot when you’re outside in the winter! Well, fortunately, it’s never been easier to lighten up your layers.
A recreational skier who skis for fitness will wear less and lighter layers than someone who’s touring. If you’re too hot or too cold, try altering your layers, by wearing thinner or thicker ones, to suit the day’s conditions, and then, remove or add a layer on the trail if necessary.
