Consistent Clothes for a Fluctuating Climate<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the qualities that make merino so ideal for spring is its peculiar ability to adapt to the climate. Merino wool is insulating in cold weather, meaning it traps your body\u2019s natural heat. In hot weather, though, the material is breathable and sweat-wicking. It promotes air-flow and moves sweat away from your body.

While that\u2019s excellent news for flowers, it\u2019s\u00a0less great<\/em>\u00a0news for people who just want to enjoy the relatively warm temperatures in peace. Merino wool can\u2019t make the rain go away, obviously, but it can resist water and quickly dry.<\/p>\n
