Merino Wool Base Layers
We love merino. Merino is perfect for active clothing with its quality as nature’s technical fibre we make all our Kepler range from pure, unadulterated 100% ultrafine non-mulesed wool.
Merino Wool Base Layers
It's natural wicking, quick-drying, anti-microbial and temperature regulating nature make merino wool comfortable, fresh and pong free day-in and day-out. It is luxurious worn next-to-skin. Wear it on its own on warm days or when layering in the cold. Simple to wash and fast-drying, so hang out to dry and be ready for the next day.
Not all Merino is equal. We have gone out of our way to find the best, and at 17.2 micron, there is genuinely no finer merino available than ours. Kepler clothing is only Merino from certified non-mulesing farms.
Merino base layers are popular on multi-day hikes or bikepacking adventures because they’re easy to wash and fast-drying. They’re perfect for underneath your technical layers as well as inside your sleeping bag for a good night’s sleep.
