Merino Wool Delivers Outstanding Performance Even in Summer
When it comes to contemporary T-shirts, cotton and polyester are the most common materials.
So why did "365 All-In One T-Shirt Merino Wool" opt for Merino wool?
"Merino wool comes from the Merino breed of sheep, and its fibers are finer and softer than those from other sheep breeds. Mizuno has long appreciated the functionality of Merino wool, which is often used as a base layer for mountain climbing", says Inoguchi.
