Merino Thongs And Bikinis From SmartWool...

Men's Lightweight Sleeveless Top - 100% merino wool with side panels designed to eliminate chafing from sleeves.

And the women's version.

Merino wool specialist, SmartWool, has updated its range of baselayers for this spring with new designs and fabrics including a range of women's specific underwear in a new material called Pointelle plus lightweight sleeveless tops for both men and women.

Thongs, Bikinis And More...

The new Pointelle fabric is ultra-fine, textured merino wool and forms part of SmartWool's Next To Skin Microweight collection. The fabric has all merino's usual moisture-handling and anti-odour properties,  but the brand says the fine fabric means it copes particularly well with warm conditions allowing faster cooling.

Designs include Microweight bikini, thong and hip-hugger underwear plus cami, tee, crew and vee-neck options which all use SmartWool's revised fit developed over two years of research to match the lines of the body for better  comfort and performance.

New Lightweight Collection

Men can start reading here as the new Lightweight baselayer collection caters for them too. One interesting hot weather option is the new Lightweight Sleeveless Top aimed at runners and hikers and available for both men and women. 

The tops combine NTS Lightweight fabrics in Jersey and Rib knit to optimise fit and performance, while the side panels have been cut to eliminate potential chaffing from flatlock seams - in a contrast colour apparently - plus a drop-tail. Fingers crossed for summer...
