      Does merino work for sweaty training?

      Yes. Merino absorbs sweat and moves it away from the skin, and it dries quickly. Choose the 135 fabrics for high intensity.

      Can I wear it to work after training?

      Merino wool does not develop odour as quickly as many other fabrics, so many wear the same top from the bike to the office. Air it at your desk and it is ready for the ride home.

      How often do I need to wash it?

      Merino wool does not develop odour as quickly as many other fabrics. Often, airing a T-shirt overnight is enough between wears. When it needs a wash, follow our care guide.

      Does merino wool itch?

      Merino wool has finer fibres than coarse wool. They bend easily against your skin, so the fabric feels soft and supple. We select fine merino wool for our clothes so you can wear them directly on the skin.

      Which size should I choose?

      Open the product and use the size guide with garment measurements. Compare with a T-shirt that fits you well. Fit varies between styles, so use the guide for the item you choose. See the women's size guide.

      Can I try the clothes and return them?

      WOOL Club members can try clothing for 30 days, including wearing and washing. Unused items have a 365-day return policy. Returns and exchanges are free from Denmark and the EU. See our return terms.
