AYAQ Merino wool features an unprecedentedly fine fiber for outdoor use: 17 microns in diameter, four times thinner than a human hair, delivering exceptional technical performance, softness, and warmth.

THERMOREGULATION THAT FOLLOWS YOUR EFFORT
Our merino wool is engineered for optimal breathability and warmth, even when damp. For athletes, it creates a stable microclimate from start to summit, reduces chills during breaks, and ensures consistent comfort both uphill and downhill. -
AN EXCEPTIONAL ITALIAN YARN
The wool comes from five family farms where the sheep are raised outdoors.
100% of the processing—combing, carding, spinning, dyeing—is done in Italy at a specialized workshop committed to deep environmental responsibility.
The wool is RWS certified, ensuring animal welfare.

ULTRA SOFT AND NATURALLY ODOR-CONTROLLING
The keratin in superfine wool fibers limits odors: T-shirts can be worn for several days, and the ultra-softness reduces friction and irritation under a pack or harness, ideal for long outings and multi-day stages.
