Merino wool shirts – What’s the hype? How does it outperform cotton and polyester?

Merino wool is hydrophobic, meaning it doesn’t like to have moisture on the surface of its fibre and therefore repels it from the outside. However, the inside of the merino fibre absorbs vapour (body heat) and this helps the fabric breath and keep the wearer comfortable. For example, let’s say you’re running late for a meeting and start to run or walk at a fast pace, your body warms up and wants to sweat to keep you cool. As the body warms, it emits moisture vapour that gets absorbed by the merino fibres as it grabs it from the skin. It then gets pulled to the outside of the merino garments to release it to the macro environment. It’s constantly sucking moisture vapour away from the body and releasing it, keeping the wearer more comfortable than say if they were wearing a synthetic fibre or cotton.
