Best of both worlds- “nature-made plus man-made” MerinoFusion is a hybrid weave that creates a hard wearing yet soft, luxurious next to skin feeling material that is perfect for base-layer thermals. Ideal for running, multi-discipline adventure racing, climbing cycling, hiking, skiing and sailing. It provides the best of both worlds – nature made plus man-made.
• Exemplary thermal properties
• High moisture wicking
• Hyper quick-dry
• Rapid climate adjustment
• Silk like next to skin
• Low odour
• Ultra durable
The yarns in MerinoFusion garments observe global ecological guidelines along the entire procurement and production chain:
• EXP – Chlorine Free
• bluesign® – materials manufactured in accordance with bluesign® guidlines
• Oko-Tex Standard 100
Wilderness Wear has a long history of making premium technical clothing from premium yarns, with Superfine Merino and the Schoeller® polypropylene heading the list since day one. Both fibres have category-leading qualities for those users wanting the very best performance in various outdoor conditions, and now they are available together in an integrated mix named MerinoFusion. Not layered, but blended 50/50 on the knitting machine, the result is a hard wearing, soft feeling, moisture wicking, odor resistant material perfectly suited to the next generation of base-layer thermals.
MerinoFusion is strongly influenced by three words: “SUSTAINABILITY + INNOVATION = SUSTAINNOVATION”

Place one end of the tape measure at the fullest part of your bust, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement. WAIST: Measure the circumference of your waist. Use the tape to circle your waist (sort of like a belt would) at your natural waistline, which is located above your belly button and below your rib cage. (If you bend to the side, the crease that forms is your natural waistline.) HIP: Measure the circumference of your hips. Start at one hip and wrap the tape measure around your rear, around the other hip, and back to where you started. Make sure the tape is over the largest part of your hips. INSIDE LEG: This is the distance from the uppermost inner part of your thigh to the bottom of your ankle. If you have a pair of pants that fit you perfectly, measure the inseam of the pants, again from the crotch to the hem. |

Athletic FitMore of a “tailored” fit that is tighter across the middle and shoulder sections in tops and tighter across the backside, upper thigh and lower leg sections in leggings. Slim FitA snug, close-to-the body fit for low bulk, layering. Clothing in this style don’t have extra fabric hanging or draping anywhere. Regular FitNeither snug, nor loose, these garments are worn solo or over other layers. Regular fit clothing tends to fit most body types comfortably and have a little extra fabric than slim fit. Relaxed FitRelaxed refers to a fit that’s looser than regular, but not baggy. Typically, relaxed clothing provide a comfortable, looser fit. |

5/5
Overall construction is beautiful
These got a hammering over winter! I didn’t wear anything but these for ~5 months straight. Most of the time was with an ultralight merino singlet base layer (even lighter than the WW cool 155), but I tried them a couple of times in warmer conditions minus the base layer just to see how they fared from a “survival” point of view (accidentally overdressing for conditions) – happy to report it was very manageable in direct sunlight in 20+ degrees (sweaty but not “hot”), and zero odour. Retain 90% warmth even when soaking wet. I had a big crash into wildlife at 40+km/h at night on a fire trail which destroyed everything I was wearing on the outer – I had the jersey under an ultralight rain jacket (ripped to shreds). The jersey copped a couple of tiny holes in the shoulder where I skidded on the exposed fabric for a few metres, but not enough to bother tack stitching as the tears aren’t running. I was highly impressed by this durability, and it gave me a lot of confidence in wearing the jersey through scratchy bushes, and for MTB trail use (high frequency crashing).
The styling and reflective elements are excellent. Overall construction is beautiful, and the slightly dropped tail offers good protection in the wet. Pockets retain impressive stiffness for merino with minimal sagging, and are a generous size for snacks/phone/packable jacket. The 1/4 zip was sufficient to get the jersey on/off over a helmet and vent effectively without adding unnecessary bulk. My only comment is regarding bulk/packability, for my very specific bike packing purposes – the zip pull is quite large (which I understand is great in cold conditions with thick gloves, but starts to add weight and bulk), and the bottom silicon gripper and double thickness hem seam makes it a fairly hefty item to scrunch up and pack, compared with other merino jerseys I’ve worn. This is only a consideration when I’m on trips carrying >1 jersey/tee (so that one is packet at all times), and I’m unusually obsessive about pack size because bag real estate is in such short supply on my small bike. A really spectacular active merino jersey though (and I’ve worn some jerseys in my time…), and extremely competitive price for the quality – well done.
