Ibex Merino Wool Mid LayerIbex makes a range of performance wear, using merino wool as their primary ingredient. Merino wool is much softer against the skin than regular wool.

Pictured is their men’s “Full Zip” merino wool jacket, priced at $140.

Let’s review why merino wool is hypereffective: it’s renewable, biodegradable, an excellent insulator, lightweight (warmest material by weight), naturally moisture wicking, doesn’t smell when wet (anti-microbial), soft, durable, washable, quiet (doesn’t rustle when moved), flame-retardant and self-extinguishing.
