Forclaz Women’s Trek 500 Long Sleeve Merino Wool Zip Backpacking Shirt – Comfortable & Durable Travel T-Shirt

Wool is ideal for a trek:this soft, robust, breathable material keeps your body at a comfortable temperature in any season (even in summer!) and allows you to trek without having to worry about odors.

Passionate about backpacking, we have designed a T-shirt with reinforced Merino wool: 1 t-shirt for several days, 0 odors. This saves weight on your journeys!

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 means we have full traceability, which allows us to guarantee the origin of the wool.

How did we improve the durability of our T-shirt?

We have used a beta-spun yarn structure in which the polyamide threads coat the Merino wool fibers. This protects them from rubbing and cuts without affecting their properties.

How does wool reduce the proliferation of bad odors?

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 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.

Do you have a final word of advice before using it?

For a softer feel, wash your T-shirt before 1st use.

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!
