1 pair of tights, several days, zero odor! Soft, durable and breathable, these wool tights maintain the right body temperature (in summer and winter), without retaining bad smells! Travel light!

Passionate backpackers, we created these reinforced Merino wool tights to give you comfort on chilly nights in bivouac or to keep you warm when backpacking.

WHAT IS OUR COMMITMENT TO ANIMAL WELFARE?

We only use wool from Merino sheep raised on farms in South Africa that do not practice mulesing.
We decided to build a partnership with a group of breeders (Konsortium Merino) to guarantee respect for animal welfare and the environment.
We have full traceability, which allows us to guarantee the origin of the wool.

How does the wool stop bad odors from spreading?

Wool from Merino sheep naturally controls the spread of bacteria that cause bad odors. It can therefore be worn
several days in a row, which means you can take less clothes when backpacking!

Reducing the “freezing effect”

After exercising and sweating, the wool maintains the body temperature whereas synthetic fabric causes the temperature to drop faster.
The unpleasant cooling or “freezing effect” is therefore reduced by the Merino wool.

Want a quick tip before use?

For a softer feel, wash your tights before 1st use.

How do I wash my Merino wool tights?

We recommend that you machine wash your Merino wool tights at 86°F on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent.

Dry flat. NEVER tumble dry.
