This weight offers the ideal combination of comfort in both summer and winter, support where it counts, and durability. We consider that lighter weight fabrics, such as 150gsm, are far too flimsy, may give little in the way of support and are far less hard-wearing. Of course, the lighter the fabric weight, the cheaper it is to produce (especially in China!). We think quality is more important. All our merino wool clothing, from our socks and T-shirts to heavyweight fleeces, is genuinely New Zealand-made. In fact ours is the only brand of New Zealand Merino outdoor gear that's both sourced AND made in New Zealand that's easily available throughout the UK and Europe!
