TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
HOW HAVE WE REINFORCED THE DURABILITY OF OUR MERINO WOOL T-SHIRTS?
We use a BETA-SPUN yarn structure, i.e. the merino wool fibres are coated with a fine sheath of polyamide filaments to protect them from rubbing and cuts, without affecting the properties of the wool.
Odour control
The component limits perspiration odours.
This Merino wool t-shirt can therefore be worn several days in a row and means you can take less clothes when trekking making for a lighter backpack!
Reduction of the freezing effect
When you make a physical effort and sweat heavily, the merino wool easily traps the insulating warm air and can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture without making you feel damp, which is appreciable in cool weather.
In hot, dry weather, the evaporation of the water in the wool absorbs energy, which cools the body slightly at the same time.
Tip before use
For a softer feel, wash your t-shirt before first use.
HOW TO WASH YOUR T-SHIRT MADE WITH MERINO WOOL?
We recommend that you machine wash your MT500 MERINO wool T-shirt at 30°C on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent.
Dry flat and NEVER tumble dry unless you want it to shrink by one or two sizes!

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Test product
In November 2018, 8 trekkers (4 men and 4 women) and part of the Forclaz design team tested this T-shirt for four days in the Southern French Alps (Lus La Croix Haute). You can expect wind, rain, a bit of snow, a bivouac... and a lot of fun! We were then able to make the final modifications and validate it for mountain trekking use.
