Nuyarn® Merino Performance

Nuyarn® technology enhances the natural qualities of merino wool without creating a heavy or restrictive garment. The resulting fabric offers improved warmth, durability, elasticity and wind resistance compared with conventional merino.

It also dries considerably faster, helping moisture move away from the skin during active use. This reduces the cold, clammy feeling that can develop when stopping after strenuous activity.

Temperature Regulation in All Conditions

The Hoodoo helps keep the body warmer when temperatures fall and cooler when conditions become milder. Its merino-rich construction continues to provide insulation when damp while remaining breathable during high-output activities.

Natural odour resistance allows the top to be worn for longer between washes, making it a practical choice for hiking, hunting, camping and extended trips where packing space is limited.

Lightweight Layering

Wear the Hoodoo directly against the skin as a technical base layer. In mild conditions, it can also be worn on its own as a lightweight long-sleeved top.

When temperatures drop, combine it with a fleece or insulated jacket. Add a windproof or waterproof outer shell when stronger protection from exposed weather is required.

• Use a mild detergent suitable for wool

• Wash with similar colours

• Do not use bleach or fabric softener

• Do not expose the garment to direct heat

• Dry naturally away from strong sunlight
