FAQ

What's the fabric composition of the Merino Base Layers?

Our lightweight, 100% Australian merino is made from 18.5 micron fibres, delivering year-round temperature control in warm and cool climates.

Will it feel scratchy or itchy against my skin?

Nope. Our merino fabrics are super-soft and designed to be worn next to your skin, where they help regulate your core temperature year-round.

How warm is it, and is it good for humid or mild climates?

Our Merino Base Layers can be worn as an underlayer beneath jackets, jumpers and fleeces in cold environments, and also work as a lightweight single layer in mild weather. Naturally odour resistant, merino wicks away sweat, so is a great option in warmer climates and high humidity.

How do I wash it?

Our merino is a superfine merino yarn and is not superwash, so there's no polymer coating on the fibre. That means it needs a little extra care when washing: avoid hot washes or tumble drying, as excessive heat can cause the garment to shrink.

Is it windproof?

No merino jersey is windproof on its own. Layer merino under a fleece and a windproof shell.

Product story

Merino Base Layers: Layers of love from merino devotees.

We took inspo from Australia’s 80-million sheep and created natural Merino Base Layers for nature-lovers.

Our favourite fibre, baaaa none

We’ve always loved merino fabrics. They help maintain a stable core temperature. They stay odour-free, even after sweaty exertion. And, as the old adage says, wet wool’s warm! So it’s the perfect fibre for outdoors time in changeable weather. What we love most about our Merino Base Layers, is that feeling of being wrapped in 100% natural Australian wool, and how that connects us more closely to our natural surrounds. Deep in the mountains or by the coast, as we walk, run, sweat, sleep, wake up and walk again, Merino wool is always, always, always our first choice.

100% natural wool fabrics made by Australia

Another thing we know about merino is that done wrong, things can get itchy. So in developing our Merino Base Layers we worked hard with our partners to hit that sweet spot of year-round warmth and lightness: which we now know is 186gsm fabric, made from 18.5 micron fibres. We also worked hard to ensure the environmental credentials of our suppliers, and we’re proud that all our merino products meet the Certified Woolmark Blend®, and Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) Certified standard. Since launching in 2023, our Australian Merino Wool Base Layers have quickly grown to become one of our best overall categories. And as devotees of merino ourselves (even in our sub-tropical Queensland surrounds), we know it’s just as much about the all-weather functionality as it is about our eye-catching colourways.

    My second skin

    Merino Hoodies have been a part of my adventure kit for a long time now. I appreciate Merino’s temperature regulating properties in hot and cold environments, its lightness in packing down, and the natural odor control for multi-day adventures!

    After my last merino hoodie began to get a little threadbare I went on a virtual odyssey to find a merino hoodie with the cut, color, and material quality I was looking for. After much comparison I settled on the Zorali Merino Hoodie and couldn’t be happier with it!

    The merino used in the Hoodies construction seems slightly thicker and somewhat softer than merino garments I’ve tried from other brands. To me this is a plus as it feels more durable and runs slightly warmer than other merino hoodies I’ve tried. I might not be using the Zorali as sun protection on hot days, but I have a feeling it will be the first thing I reach for as Autumn begins in the Pacific Northwest.

    The only negative I would note is that the thumb holes are a bit of an afterthought. I found them to be too small and the sleeves do not taper to the cuffs. This leaves loose material flapping in the wind if you use the thumb holes to keep your sleeves pulled down while cycling, like I do.

    Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! We're honoured the Zorali Merino Hoodie made the cut after all that searching, and so glad you're loving the softer, warmer feel. Really appreciate the feedback on the thumb holes and sleeve taper, we'll pass that on to the team. 🥰

    Fantastic top as long as it is not humid!

    I've been looking forward to finding a Zorali product so I could support a small Aussie business. I love merino and this Elysian Hoody is well made. Five days on the Cooloola Great Walk and the top was a champion. The only concern I have is the heavier weight and tighter knit meant the hoody did not dissipate my sweat well. The top remained damp/clammy for almost the entire trip despite both airing the top in the sun and attempting to use body heat in my quilt to dry it. The damp/clammy feeling did not affect performance while I wore the top hiking but I have other merino that does breathe better. I'd recommend this top for less humid environments like South Australia

    Perfect Weight and Fit

    Got to rock the LS Merino Hoody while we were shooting the images for this campaign! The team have nailed the weight of these. Light enough to work well as an active base layer and replace your sun shirt on slightly cooler days. Fits super well and is the tried and true soft merino that we've come to love with Zorali!

    Great quality and fit

    After using a cheaper Amazon brand I finally decided to upgrade and I'm so glad I did.

    The fit, material and quality of the top is fantastic! Have been on a few hikes now and I can already tell this too is going to become a staple piece

    Fabric feels great. Fits well. Very comfortable too wear. Being 100% merino I'm expecting it will be wearable for many days unlike the synthetic counterparts. Will be great. In a couple of weeks I'll be on the Overland Track for 8 days. That will give it a work out. If I remember I'll do another review.
