Forclaz Trek 900 Women’s Merino Wool Zip Collar Backpacking T-Shirt – Best Reviews

Increased weight for a superior insulation. An 18.5 micron wool fiber for more softness and a material that naturally offers good breathability.

Are you going on a trek in cold conditions? This T-shirt made of reinforced Merino wool, with thumb holes and a raised collar, keeps you warm.

Additional features

Longline at the center back to prevent air from entering.
Thumb loops to protect the top of your hand from the cold.
Lightest weight of wool at the armpits (6.7 oz/m²).

Reducing the “freezing effect”

After any physical effort that involves a lot of perspiration, wool helps to preserve the body temperature while synthetic fabrics cause the temperature to drop faster.
The unpleasant cooling or “freezing effect” is therefore reduced by the Merino wool.

How does wool reduce the proliferation of bad odors?

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

What are our commitments to animal welfare?

We only use wool from Merino sheep bred 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.
This gives us the full traceability we need to guarantee the origin of the wool.

How to wash your Merino wool T-shirt

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

Dry flat. NEVER tumble dry unless you want to end up with a Merino T-shirt fit only for a doll!
