The Milford is made from pure merino wool, ethically sourced from non-mulesing Australian farms. We’ve used ultrafine fibres (17.5 micron) and a 260gsm fabric for a super high warmth-to-weight ratio. This makes the Milford warm enough to wear on top your base layer, by itself in milder conditions or under a shell when the weather whips up.

The only thing better than one layer of merino wool is two layers of merino. Double merino. Wearing the Milford on top of your merino base layer allows your body’s moisture to escape effortlessly. This stops you getting clammy and keeps you a comfy temperature when you start walking, biking, paddling or wrestling your tent up.

Merino wool is naturally odour-resistant too, so you can wear the Milford for a whole day of activity – or several days of activity – and not feel self-conscious about potentially powerful scents when you walk into a pub/café to grab some tea.

The Milford used a loop-back fabric, just like your favourite cotton sweatshirt. As well as being soft against your skin, this traps warm air and helps your base layer with the wicking process. The neck has a button up collar to keep the draughts out and we’ve used narrow merrow seams for comfort under layers and packs.
