Can I wear a cotton t-shirt underneath?

This is strongly inadvisable. Cotton retains moisture and dries very slowly, leaving you feeling cold during rest stops. Wear this technical garment directly against your skin.

What should I wear over this garment?

This model is designed to act as a second skin. Its role is to wick away moisture and keep you dry. If it's cold, add a fleece on top (second layer). To protect yourself from the elements, wear a waterproof jacket as your third layer.

How do I wash and dry my merino wool garment?

Wash inside out on a delicate or wool cycle (max 30°C and 500 rpm), using a quality detergent and no fabric softener. Avoid the tumble dryer to prevent shrinkage. Leave to dry flat naturally, away from direct sunlight.

Who did we design it for?

For mountaineers and winter female hikers who face extreme cold conditions and extended high-altitude outings.

They need a base layer capable of lasting several days on expedition without generating odours.

This profile demands the natural warmth of wool combined with the flexibility of a technical women's cut.

How should you wear it?

Wear as a base layer directly against the skin to maximise contact and heat transfer. Layer a fleece over it in very cold conditions. The half-zip closure regulates heat without removing the layer. Second-skin fit — your usual size.

What makes the difference?

Its 240 g/m² merino wool with half-zip collar offers the warmest weight in the women's range: maximum natural warmth and adjustable ventilation on demand.

Merino wool at its maximum

In the mountains, a base layer that is too light will cost you at the summit. Sweat that chills at rest, insufficient warmth in extreme cold: the base layer determines everything else.

This base layer harnesses merino wool at its maximum warmth. It captures and redistributes body heat, naturally neutralising odours over time. Its half-zip collar adjusts ventilation on the ascent without removing a layer.

Because maximum insulation starts next to the skin. It's the foundation that holds the expedition together.
