Who Are The FW Raw MW For?

If comfort is key, this is a base layer tailored for you. Made for both men and women, the FW RAW Merino wool base layer set is your best bet when it comes to staying warm and, thanks to the fabrics natural anti-odour properties, you won’t be needing to worry about the smell of sweat either. Merino wool might be a bit more spenny, but its durability and ability to adapt to shifting temperatures is well worth the money.

Materials and Construction

Merino sheep reside high up the mountains in New Zealand, facing temperatures that range from sub-zero degrees to baking hot summer days. Their naturally soft wool boasts unparalleled breathability, anti-odour properties, an incredible warmth to weight ratio, and moisture-wicking abilities to move moisture away from the body. You’ll stay warm, comfortable, and dry, no matter the weather.

The FW RAW base layers are 90% merino wool, while the remaining 10% consists of nylon and spandex, adding to the product’s strength and stretchiness.

Made to ergonomically stretch with the movements of the body, this base layer sits comfortably directly against the skin. Remember, base layers are designed to be tight, as this enhances their wicking abilities, making it easier to stay dry.

The tights are designed to match perfectly with ski socks and boots, so you can now say goodbye to uncomfortable bunching too.
