What to Consider
Materials & Construction
- ·Merino — Finer than standard wool with exceptional breathability. Naturally resists odor so you can wear it longer between washes — ideal for travel and everyday basics.
- ·Recycled — Modern recycled materials match virgin materials in performance. Recycled polyester and nylon are indistinguishable from new in most applications.
- ·Made by Wild Rye, PBC in United States.
Longevity & Care
- ·Merino — Most merino is machine washable on gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry. Avoid fabric softener — it coats fibers and reduces performance.
- ·Recycled — Follow care label — varies by base material.
Sustainability
- ·Merino — Renewable, biodegradable, and requires less washing — reducing water use over its lifetime.
- ·Recycled — Diverts waste from landfills and oceans. Recycled polyester from plastic bottles reduces petroleum dependency by up to 75%.
Cost Per Use
- ·Merino — Merino basics cost more upfront but last 3-5x longer than cotton equivalents. Less frequent washing also reduces wear and saves on water and energy.
- ·Recycled — Often priced comparably to virgin materials. You get the same performance while diverting waste.
- ·Priced around $30 (midpoint of under $50 for Apparel). At ~8 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 4 months — and falls to roughly 6¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
