Women's Merino Union 150 Knickers

Made from a blend of soft merino and technical polyester, our Merino Union 150 Knickers combine the quick-drying nature of a synthetic, and merino wool’s natural anti-bacterial properties.

Merino wool has an uncanny ability to regulate your temperature in a wide range of conditions. It’s nice and cosy in the cold but never too hot when the temperature, or your activity level, start to rise. It ‘wicks’ moisture extremely efficiently and, because wool is the only fibre in the world that can absorb vapour, it delays the onset of sweating - keeping you far more comfortable and eliminating that unpleasant chilling feeling you sometimes get when you take a break or slow down.

Our Merino Union 150 Knickers are incredibly soft and comfortable next to the skin - there’s none of the unpleasant itching you get with ordinary wool or poor quality merino.

The fabric blend also has another remarkable benefit which makes it particularly suitable for wearing next to the skin. Wool has an amazing resistance to the build-up of odour. You can wear it for days without feeling the need to freshen it up. On a long trip, where washing facilities are limited, it’s a real boon. And when the time finally does come to freshen it up, you’ll find it’s simplicity itself to wash. Just throw it in the machine or rinse it through with travel wash. And, because of the quick drying nature of synthetics, just hang them out to dry and they’ll be ready to go again the next day.

The pointelle fabric construction isn’t just an attractive finish, it’s functional too. The little eyelets makes the garment more breathable, and - counterintuitively – this ‘holey’ construction actually gives the fabric a higher level of durability.
