Many people swear by merino wool for their base layers. Thanks to its excellent moisture-regulating, odor-resistant, and antibacterial properties, it's often called a “natural performance fabric.”

L.L.Bean, a quintessential American outdoor brand, has harnessed this amazing material. But what makes their new base layer so special? It’s said to leverage the best of merino wool while conquering its tendency to dry slowly. We sat down with Hironori Nakamura from L.L.Bean's PR team to get the details.

Cool in Summer, Warm in Winter. That's Why Merino Wool Is the Top Choice

"We developed this product in response to numerous customer requests for a high-quality base layer. We chose merino wool for its incredible performance characteristics."

Merino wool is a high-quality wool from the Merino breed of sheep.

"Its fibers are finer than those of regular wool, which gives it a soft feel against the skin and makes it less prone to itchiness. It combines moisture absorption, heat retention, and odor resistance, and has long been a go-to choice for mountaineering base layers."
