SUMMIT & SHELTER

The comfort that enables ascent

©Kylie Johnson @Unsplash.com

Create a dialogue between performance and protection for movement and rest. At the summit where the air is bracing, performance is governed by thermodynamic volatility. Merino wool’s natural resilience brings micro-climatic stability to the ascent and thermal restoration in stillness.

Engineer performance garments for activity at elevation through to restorative wear, harnessing Merino wool’s technical capabilities across the spectrum of cold weather. With fine base-layers, fleece and flat-knit sport knitwear, laminated woven shells, felted coats and noble blends, design with a curated selection of wool and wool-blend fabrics and yarns that prioritise proactive moisture management and breathability as a natural shield against the elements.

Trace the palette of winter in hematite grey, crimson pulses, boreal forest greens, ember accents and comforting neutrals in a narrative spanning performance and sanctuary in equal measure. Unfold the story of Summit and Shelter in two connected material chapters – Alpine Veins and Alpine Retreat – exploring a symbiosis of motion and pause, anchored in the prestige of Merino wool as a natural performance fibre.

Wool for active elevation

When the air thins and the landscape sharpens, Merino wool layers are the adaptive pulse of performance. Where peaks and ridgelines run like veins across the anatomy of the landscape, Merino wool is the technical f low that sustains vitality across shifting intensity, creating equilibrium when physical activity and the elements collide.

Explore seamless base-layers, Merino wool jerseys, wool-rich blends and jacquard structures that channel warmth, breathability and moisture management, tapping the natural adaptability of the wool fibre. Design base-, mid- and outer-layers that unite in a complementary performance system, operating in tandem for structural endurance and thermal consistency in every phase of activity. Discover a material story where technical precision meets the soul of the climb in a tribute to human resolve, the tenacity of the wool fibre and the majesty of the alpine.

SUMMIT&SHELTER / Alpine Retreat // Softness for rest and reconnection

Design for pause, where reduced exertion needs sustained insulation and warmth. In this quieter phase of the performance cycle, Merino wool shifts from high-intensity movement to a stabilising architecture. Transitioning from movement to recovery, Merino wool’s natural crimp and loft retain heat and continuously manages moisture, supporting warmth and comfort as the body transitions to a state of rest.

Build a layering system with fine Merino wool jerseys and silk blends as a foundation that supports breathability and thermal consistency. Introduce midlayers with dimensional structure in flat knits, sculpted jacquards and wool-rich blends that increase thermal performance while preserving airflow. Complete the system with felted wools, bouclé constructions and refined technical wool fabrics and yarns that hold warmth when required and release excess heat during recovery.

Form a cohesive architecture that supports the body’s restoration, defined in a palette of oatmeal neutrals, deep greens, earthen browns and burnished reds. For rest and reconnection, Merino wool connects body and environment through structural resilience and natural breathability, for when motion resolves into stillness.
