Mons Royale Women's Arete Merino Insulated Vest

"What's so epic about Merino Wool?

"Merino Wool is the OG performance fibre, crushing it since way before oil-derived synthetics arrived. Cool when it's hot, warm when it's not, just as epic when wet and never stinks. We've tapped into the natural perks of this legend, while adding a new-school spin to meet the needs of mountain bikers, skiers, snowboarders and mission-seekers.

"To ensure the highest standards of animal welfare, environmental care, and social sustainability, we use ZQRX-certified Merino Wool."

Thanks to its anti-odour properties wool doesn't need to be washed after every use. Washing less frequently not only makes your garments last for longer, but less water use means it's better for the planet too! Mons Royale recommend washing after every third wear, or spot cleaning minor stains and hanging your Mons Merino in the fresh air to dry.

Don't use fabric softener, bleach or other stain removal agents. Do not soak and do not tumble dry your Mons Merino.

When washing your Mons Merino, close all the zips and turn it inside out. Set your machine to wool cycle or delicate warm/cool cycle (less than 30 degrees) and use regular laundry liquid or powder free of enzymes and optic brighteners. Mons Royale don't recommend using wool detergents as they use enzymes that can damage Merino fibre. For specific washing instructions read the care label on your garment.

Line dry your garment or lay flat in the shade, as soon as you've finished washing.
