Lifestyle brand Outerknown - the brainchild of surf legend Kelly Slater - has created the world’s first boardshort crafted from 100% Australian Merino wool.

As much as 35 per cent of microplastics in the marine environment are fibres from synthetic clothing, an amount that continues to increase. But by contrast, natural fibres such as wool readily biodegrade, offering a less impactful solution.

We are the global authority on wool. The Woolmark Company represents a commitment between woolgrowers, brands and consumers on the authenticity and quality of the fibre that connects us.
