Wool or synthetic fibers?

It depends on what you need it for. Are lively, sweat-inducing activities on the cards, or long, leisurely activities?
Functional underwear, pullovers and jackets made of synthetics wick moisture directly away from the body. This is particularly important when doing more intense activities like jogging, trail running and aerobic activities in general. Sweat is directly absorbed and wicked outwards.
This ensures the body does not cool down during calmer periods or when taking breaks. Synthetic fibers also dry quickly when they are soaked through. Without proper treatment, however, these tend to take on nasty odors from sweat-decomposing bacteria settling in the material.
This is not the case with merino wool, as it does not retain odors and can be worn several times without any issues. It does dry slower, but for that it warms in the cold and cools in higher temperatures. For this reason, merino jackets are perfect for any activity that does not make you break too much of a sweat.
This can include hiking, mountaineering, skiing and leisurely strolls. You will always be prepared for what nature throws your way with a functional wool jacket on your side!
