Merino wool in the summer
Many people think wool is for winter. Our thin 135 merino fabric is light and breathable, and the fibres absorb moisture from the skin. That is why our 135 fabric is what we wear on the warmest days, at home and in the tropics.

- If you are heading south
- If you want fewer pieces for the whole summer
Why merino on warm days
- Thinner and more breathableOur 135 fabric is thin and light, suitable for wearing on its own or under another layer.
- Feels dry to the skinMerino fibres absorb moisture from the skin. A light, loose-fitting top can feel comfortable on warm days.
- Choose a light layerChoose the fabric and fit for the temperature and your activity. 135 is our lightest T-shirt fabric.
- Less odour and fewer washesMerino wool does not develop odour as quickly as many other fabrics. Often, airing it is enough between wears.
- Light and packs smallThin merino layers weigh little and take up little space, so you can pack fewer and lighter pieces.

Is wool not too warm in summer?
Thick wool can be warm. Our 135 fabric is thin and breathable, so it is a useful option for warm days. Choose a fit with room for air to circulate.
How many days can I wear the same T-shirt in the heat?
Merino wool does not develop odour as quickly as many other fabrics. Air it overnight and wear it again. Rinse in a sink when you want to freshen it up; drying time depends on the conditions.
Does the sun fade merino?
Strong sun can bleach dyed textiles over time, and dark colours show it first. Dry in the shade when you can. Read more in our guide to sun bleaching.
Which size should I choose?
Use the size guide on the product page. Some models use unisex sizes 1-10. Where garment measurements are provided, compare with clothing that fits you well. All guides are collected on the size guides page.
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.
