Merino wool is excellent at regulating body temperature, especially when worn against the skin. The wool provides warmth, without over heating the wearer. It draws moisture away from the skin, this process is called wicking. A merino wool fiber can absorb and retain up to 30% of its own weight in moisture and still feel dry to the touch. This helps to avoid hypothermia after sweating from demanding exercise or getting wet in the rain.
