The Merino Layer System, it’s what’s underneath that counts.
When you’re chasing powder or lapping the park, comfort isn’t about your jacket - it’s about your layering system. The right Merino layers move sweat, breathe when you’re pushing, and keep your body temperature just right. Start with Merino underwear and base layers that manage moisture up to 96% better than polyester, add Merino mid layers for warmth, throw in active insulation for the coldest days, and finish with accessories to lock in comfort where it counts.
Merino Underwear
Step one: Start at the skin
Merino underwear sets the tone for your day on snow. It keeps you dry, warm, and comfortable while naturally regulating temperature and wicking sweat.
MERINO BASE LAYER
Step two: The foundation
Merino base layers are the core of your layering system. They move with you, keep you warm without overheating, and wick sweat so you stay dry and focused no matter how hard you ride.
Merino Mid Layer
Step three: Layered warmth
Merino mid layers work with your base system to keep you warm on colder days. They provide consistent warmth while letting sweat escape, so you stay dry and comfortable from the summit hike to the last run.
Merino Active Insulation
Step four: Coldest days
For seriously cold days, Merino active insulation adds extra warmth. Swap it in for your mid layer, or layer it over your mid layer for the coldest conditions, while staying breathable and performing even when the weather turns raw.
Merino Accessories
Step five: Warm extremities
Merino accessories protect the zones where heat escapes fastest. Super-soft socks, beanies, balaclavas, neckwear and gloves keep you warm, breathable and comfortable, even when the conditions turn messy.
Outerwear
Step six: Seal the deal
Finish your Merino system with a shell that keeps out wind, snow, and whatever the mountain throws at you. Look for waterproofing, pit zips, helmet-friendly hoods, and tough, durable fabrics. Layer it over your Merino and you’ve got a set-up that moves, breathes, and handles all conditions.

Merino Performance
We believe Merino wool is the world’s greatest performance fibre. It’s nature’s choice: built for the elements, designed to perform in extreme temps, and tested on mountain sheep in all conditions.
Our Story
Sometime back in the early noughties, a storm-chasing Kiwi living out of a ski bag realised his gear wasn't cutting it for both mountain missions and post-shred hangs. And here we are, almost two decades later.
Transparency
We’re trying not to f*ck the planet. Here’s how we’re doing that, and what we’re working on to ensure quality, transparency, and better quality standards across our growers, supply chain and production line.
