Made for life outdoors
This gilet uses three breathable merino layers to shield you from wind and light rain, with a dropped back hem for extra coverage. Crafted to last, the heavy-duty fabric starts out a bit stiff—much like raw denim—but breaks in perfectly the more you wear it.

Micron
Ever wondered why some Merino wool feels like a warm hug while others feel like a prickly cactus by lunchtime? It all comes down to the micron — the measurement of a wool fibre’s diameter. The smaller the number, the finer the fibre, and the softer it feels against your skin.
Not sure where to start? Use this guide to find the perfect softness, feel, and warmth that’s just right for you.
| Micron Category | Diameter (Microns) | Primary Market Use |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrafine Merino | 14.6µm – 16.5µm | High-end luxury apparel and knitwear |
| Superfine Merino | 15.1µm – 18.5µm | Suiting, premium base layers, and fine yarn |
| Fine Merino | 18.6µm – 20.5µm | General apparel, sportswear, and weaving |
| Medium Merino | 20.6µm – 24.5µm | Heavy knitwear, blankets, and carding wool |
| Strong Merino | 24.6µm+ | Furnishings and heavy-duty textiles |
