WOOLPOWER TEE LITE £64

Merino wool is soft, breathable and regulates temperature superbly, all qualities that make it well worth considering as your summer base layer option, not just for use in the cooler months. This lightweight tee from Swedish merino master Woolpower is a great example. It uses an 80/20 merino-nylon blend, a smooth and stretchy fabric that is far less clammy and clingy than most synthetic layers. It’ll also stay fresher for longer, without that notorious poly pong…

VERDICT A super-comfortable crew neck base layer tee designed to maximise merino’s natural benefits for summer use.
