Which weight should I pick, 165 or 250 GSM?

Take the 165 GSM lightweight for mild cold, running and layering under a helmet. Take the 250 GSM for deep winter, skiing and standing around in the cold.

Is it warm enough for winter?

The 250 GSM version is the winter pick; merino traps warmth while staying breathable. The 165 GSM is better for cool weather and active use.

Does it itch like regular wool?

It is merino, which has finer fibers than standard wool and is widely worn against the skin. Buyers describe it as soft and comfortable.

Hand wash in cool water with a wool-safe detergent, then press out water and dry flat. Avoid hot water and tumble drying, which shrink wool.

Can I wear it under a helmet?

Yes. The 4-way stretch tube is thin enough for the lightweight version to sit under a ski or bike helmet as a headband or beanie.

Does it work in summer?

Merino breathes and wicks moisture, and the fabric is UPF 50+, so it can be worn as a sun and dust cover in warm weather. The lightweight version suits this best.
