Best reviews of 😀 Forclaz Trek 500, Short Sleeved Merino Wool Hiking T-Shirt, Men’s 💯

T-shirt in Merino wool reinforced for improved durability.
Ideal for backpacking for several days: no odors, no washing!

Our team of mountain backpacking enthusiasts developed this Merino T-shirt for long treks without having to worry about unpleasant odors

Sizing and fit

This T-shirt has a slightly fitted sporty cut that facilitates moisture transfer toward the outside of the fabric.
Select your usual size or 1 size larger if you prefer a looser fit.

Durability

Use of a BETA-SPUN yarn structure in which the polyamide threads coat the Merino wool fibers and protect them from rubbing and cuts without affecting their properties.

Origin of the merino wool

We only use wool from Merino sheep raised on farms in South Africa that do not practice mulesing.
We decided to build a partnership with a group of breeders (Konsortium Merino) to guarantee respect for animal welfare and the environment.
We thus have complete traceability, which allows us to guarantee the origin of the wool.

Odor control

Wool from Merino sheep naturally controls the spread of bacteria that cause bad odors. This Merino wool T-shirt can therefore be worn
several days in a row and means you can take less clothes when backpacking making for a lighter backpack!

Reduction of the chilling effect

After exercise and heavy sweating, Merino wool prevents evaporation, helping to maintain body temperature by absorbing the majority of the body’s moisture. This therefore reduces any unpleasant chilling effect.
Conversely, a synthetic material lets the body temperature go back down again quicker.

Tip before use

For a softer feel, wash your T-shirt before first use.

How do I wash my Merino wool T-shirt?

We recommend that you machine wash your Merino wool T-shirt at 86°F on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent.

Dry flat and NEVER tumble dry unless you want it to shrink by 1 or 2 sizes!
