The AYAQ Merino wool features a thread of unprecedented fineness for outdoor use: 17 microns in diameter, four times finer than a human hair, offering exceptional technical performance, softness, and warmth.

THERMOREGULATION THAT FOLLOWS EFFORT
Our merino wool is processed to allow optimal breathability and to remain warm even when wet. For athletes, it offers a stable microclimate from start to summit, reduced chill during breaks, and consistent comfort both ascending and descending. -
AN EXCEPTIONAL ITALIAN THREAD
The wool comes from five family farms where the sheep are raised outdoors.
100% of the processing — combing, carding, spinning, dyeing — is carried out in Italy, in a specialized workshop deeply committed to eco-responsibility.
The wool is RWS certified, ensuring animal welfare.

ULTRA SOFT AND NATURALLY ODOR CONTROLLED
The keratin in the ultra-fine wool fibers limits odors: T-shirts can be worn for several days, and the ultra-softness reduces friction and irritation under a backpack or harness, useful for long outings and consecutive stages.
