Not all Merino fabric is Performance Merino Fabric!

• NZ Merino wool gives the highest quality wool fibre
• Only superfine merino wool fibres between 18 and 21 microns will provide the essential balance of comfort with durability.
• All our gear is made using superfine 18.8 micron, and fine 21 micron fibre.  
• Only superfine double-jersey fabric gives the stability, elasticity and regain necessary for high performance
• MAPP - Merino Advanced Performance Programme - superfine double jersey fabric has been specially engineered for outdoor activity use

When all this is coupled with the expertise of a company with over 80 years experience in the manufacture of quality merino clothing, we think we have an unbeatable product when it comes to Merino base & mid layer performance outdoor clothing.

Chocolate Fish New Zealand Merino - genuinely made in New Zealand.  Natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable Merino Base Layers,  Mid Layers and Accessories from a supply chain that's ethically, socially, & environmentally responsible.  

Naturally -  New Zealand!

We think our Taranaki 190 Superfine NZ merino wool base layer & TeMata 260 Fine NZ Merino wool base/mid layer ranges are the best in the world for softness, smoothness and durability - and so do our customers.

Apart from being genuinely New Zealand-made - have always been designed to be versatile and multifunctional.  In these tough times, paying out money for activity-specific gear doesn't make a lot of sense. With our gear, you can hike, walk, ride, run, ski - and go to work in it!

Andy, writing in Summit-up Mountaineering says: The Chocolate Fish brand has been forcing the outdoor world to stop and take notice... their products are manufactured from quality New Zealand merino, in NZ. Couple this with the outstanding quality control that leaves certain rivals standing still, and you’ve got a sure fire winner.

I’ve owned the baselayer for over year now and put it through some heavy use. Unlike some other merino baselayers on the market it has survived surprisingly well with little to no signs of visable damage. I’m especially happy with their products... [they]... blast the competition out of the market.

Viv Scott, Review in UK Climbing, says: The best base layers I've ever used by miles and already up there with my favourite take everywhere, everytime kit... Superb.

Mike Dann of PolarIce and Team ATP, winners of the 2006 Sony Polar Challenge, Review in Outdoors Magic , says: The first time I tried Chocolate Fish merino base layers was on an expedition to the Magnetic North Pole .... - they are fantastic!

Markus in Germany emails to say: Your stuff really great. A convinced Merino-Fan, I've tested a lot (Icebreaker, Lundhags, Ortovox, Devold, Buff) and yours is Fantastic stuff !! Thanks a lot!
