Superwash Merino Wool
Made from superwash-treated Merino Wool, a specialist process that makes the wool fully machine washable without shrinkage or loss of shape. All the performance of Merino Wool, with none of the delicate handling.
Natural Thermal Regulation
Merino Wool fibre traps warm air against the body when you are still and releases heat efficiently when you are playing hard. The fabric responds to you, keeping you at the right temperature whether you are waiting to ride on or giving everything on the field.
Moisture Management & Breathability
The technical weave draws perspiration away from the skin and disperses it across the fabric surface. You stay dry and focused whatever the intensity — from warm-up to the final bell.
Natural Odour Resistance
Merino Wool fibre inhibits the bacterial growth that causes odour. Howsh stays fresh across multiple wears and long days at the yard, a natural property of the wool itself, with no chemical treatments.
Four-Way Stretch
The 11% elastane content delivers stretch in every direction and full shape recovery. Complete freedom of movement at every pace, with no restriction through the swing and no bagging after a full day’s play.
