Are wool socks and base layers too hot and itchy for exercise?
Cheap, poorly made wool products are. SmartWool products are not. SmartWool uses the longest and finest wool fibres available. The result: softer, more comfortable wool with none of the lower grade wool’s “prickle effect”. This wool selection combined with SmartWool technology provides the best means of maintaining your Optimum Body Temperature – absorbing and evaporating sweat to ensure your skin will stay cool and comfortable during exercise.
Contrary to popular belief, wool is great to wear for exercise and won’t be hot or itchy. Try a wool, like Merino, which is excellent at regulating body temperature – It has a natural crimp, which create a lot of small insulating air pockets – these keep you warn in cold conditions and cool in hot conditions – Perfect for working out! The unique properties of Merino wool mean moisture (sweat) is drawn away from the skin too, keeping the wearer warm and dry!
