Smartwool is back this season with more material innovation, setting the standard for how people can experience the comfort, durability and performance of Merino wool.
One focus point from their new collection is the Active Mesh technology, a Merino based alternative to full synthetics which offers breathability and mobility perfectly suited for high aerobic activity like skiing and riding.
The lightweight nature of garments made with this technology are another bonus on the slopes, as it feels both flexible and weightless while you remain cool even with intense all-day activity.
We tested the active mesh hoodie (£90.00) and found it was an ideal mid-layer, feeling almost weightless but also offering complete head and torso body mapping for protection from the elements without ever feeling too tight or restrictive, however much we twisted and turned!
The final plus was the lightweight and small-space pack down was a big plus in the eternal battle to fit all your gear in the bag within the baggage allowance when flying to the slopes.
