FAQs
Q: How does a 100% merino baselayer compare to a merino blend?
A: 100% merino delivers maximum natural odor resistance, temperature regulation, and feel against the skin. A blend adds synthetic stretch and faster drying. Pure merino is the cold-day and multi-day-trip pick.

Fit Guide & Care
Fit
Ski and snowboard outerwear is designed to layer over base layers and mid-layers. When sizing, make sure you have enough room to move freely with a mid-layer underneath. Most outerwear runs true to size – check the size chart in the product description. When in doubt, size up for maximum layering room.
Waterproofing & Breathability Ratings
Waterproofing is measured in mm (e.g. 10,000mm – higher is more waterproof). Breathability is measured in g/m2 (e.g. 10,000 g/m2 – higher is more breathable). For ski club and resort skiing, look for a minimum of 5,000mm waterproofing. Serious all-day riders should aim for 10,000mm+.
Washing Your Outerwear
Always wash with a technical cleaner like Grangers Performance Wash, not regular detergent. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Re-apply a spray DWR as needed. Shop tech wash.
