Not all wool is created equal. And when it comes to building your wardrobe for the trail, the tarmac, or anything in between, Merino wool stands in a class of its own.

What Makes Merino So Legendary? 

Sourced from Merino sheep—bred to thrive in harsh alpine conditions—this natural fibre is engineered by nature and refined by Tilley for modern performance. It's soft, breathable, and regulates body temperature better than any synthetic alternative. That means cool when it's hot, warm when it's cold, and comfortable no matter where the day takes you.

Key Benefits of Merino Wool:

  • Temperature Regulating – Keeps you warm without overheating
  • Moisture-Wicking & Quick-Drying – Ideal for long hauls or active pursuits
  • Naturally Odour Resistant – Go further, pack lighter
  • Soft Yet Durable – No itch, no compromise
  • Sustainable & Biodegradable – Built by nature, designed to last

Our Merino collection is more than just wool. It’s thoughtfully designed for travel, layering, and long-lasting wear. From lightweight crews to insulating base layers, every piece blends timeless Canadian design with hard-wearing function.
