All About Merino

We’re unabashedly obsessed with the benefits of Merino wool for running; this natural fiber hits all the right notes, organically offering odor-resistant and temperature-regulating properties. That’s why we work with several Merino blends across our wardrobe, selecting different combinations based on specific performance needs to leverage the science behind the wool.

For Shoulder Season

Shoulder season represents a time of transition. With the temperature in flux, reliable gear that responds to the runner’s needs is everything. Our most beloved Merino piece, the Brighton Base Layer, was engineered with intention and cut for comfort and features details that allow for both breathability and layering up (if need be). For a more relaxed fit that touts the same wonders of wool, we’d recommend the Harrier Long Sleeve, or try something textured with the Fells Turtleneck, which facilitates more airflow. All three of these seasonal staples are stunningly soft and built to be worn next-to-skin, whether you wear them on their own or as a base under more layers.

For the Freeze

When the air bites in our iciest efforts, there’s no question that wool is a weapon against the weather, but by heavily incorporating Merino in particular, we’ve optimized the insulation element. The NDO Mockneck, finished with a wind-blocking overlay, provides coverage against the conditions complemented by the benefits of the performance fiber. When you’re chilled to the bone, the Downeaster Crew offers a heavy blend of the premium wool to fend off the freeze. And when it’s really really cold, the Nor’Easter Jacket is insurmountable, with its Merino liner, and a wind- and water-resistant shell. These are the pieces that are built for the bluster.

In warmer weather, running in wool may seem counterintuitive, but with the magic of Merino, the performance benefits actually make it a perspiration powerhouse all year round. The Harrier Tee, crafted in our lightest Merino blend, maximizes its qualities with 37.5® Technology to create the ultimate tool for temperature regulation. An innovative combination makes for the peak of performance gear, but let’s not forget the simple staples. We also utilize the natural fiber in our essentials like the No Show Socks, Brighton Briefs and Boxer Briefs, taking advantage of its ability to manage odor and sweat.

Core pieces, like outerwear and technical tops, are obvious picks when it comes to where the wool is, but with quite a few New England seasons under our belts, we considered everything. Accessories allow for an abundance of versatility when it comes to running gear, with the ability to be styled as needed to keep you comfortable no matter the conditions. By weaving Merino into pieces like the Harrier Gloves, Brighton Arm Warmers, and Varsity Runner’s Cap, we’ve taken thermoregulation to the extremities, offering solutions that allow you to bask in the benefits down to your fingertips.

Everything we love about Merino is innately woven right into the fiber’s composition – it resists odor run after run thanks to its natural oil coating and regulates temperature by managing moisture and air flow efficiently. Plus, as some of the finest wool on earth, its minimal micron measurement makes it super soft and breathable.
