RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR Merino Basic Tee Long Sleeve

In addition to the high functionality of wool (heat retention, breathability, heat resistance, antibacterial properties, UV protection), REDA ACTIVE, a high-performance material that makes full use of REDA's 150 years of experience, knowledge and technology, is used.

Materials

This product uses 100% merino wool jersey from New Zealand. The main features of merino wool material include "high heat retention", "good breathability", "humidity control", "high deodorizing power (antibacterial)", "heat resistance", and "UV protection". REDA, which produces the merino wool jersey used by RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR, is a long-established wool fabric manufacturer founded in Italy for over 150 years.

Product features

1. Fewer fuzz and soft texture Merino wool is classified into various grades according to the fineness (fineness) of the fibers that make up the fabric, and the fineness is expressed in μm (micrometer). This time, the Merino Basic Tee uses very fine 17.5μm (micrometer) thread labeled "Super 120's", and it has a soft texture with very little "tingling" characteristic of wool.

2. Use New Zealand Merino The use of New Zealand merino wool is proof that it is "non-mulesing wool". "Mulsing" is the cutting of the rump skin and meat from a lamb to prevent the sheep from becoming infested with maggots. The merino breed, which was bred to obtain as much wool as possible, has a wide skin area and deep wrinkles on the skin. In the worst case, maggots can eat the skin and meat, leading to death. "Mulsing" is a means to prevent it, but there are cases where no anesthesia and scar treatment are performed. New Zealand banned such cruel mulesing from October 2018. Using New Zealand Merino is also using wool raw materials suitable for animal welfare.

3.100% merino wool and washable.

Pre-shrunk processing is applied over several processes to prevent fabric shrinkage after washing as much as possible. Even so, as long as it is a natural fiber, it will inevitably experience some degree of shrinkage and skew. Please refer to the following care method to use the product for a longer time.

・Please use detergent for wool when washing.

・Please turn the product inside out and put it in a laundry net and wash it alone.

・The water temperature should be limited to 40°C, and avoid washing with hot water.

・Avoid strong currents when washing. When washing by hand or using a washing machine, please use the "dry course" or "weak water course".

・Never tumble dry.

・After dehydration, we recommend reshaping and drying in the shade.

・If you do not wear it for a long time, please store it with an insect repellent after removing the dirt.

Design

As the product name says "Basic", the simple box-shaped design allows you to wear it without discrimination from the mountains to the city. The neck is finished with a highly durable self-fabric binder to prevent the collar from stretching. The shoulder line, sleeve line, and side line are all flat-seamed. "Flatseamer", as the name suggests, makes the seams of the fabric very flat and reduces stress on the skin as much as possible. This method is often used for sportswear and baby wear, as the seams are also durable. A logo is printed on the left cuff and a brand name tag is sewn on the hem. A white name tag is used for RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR merino wool products.

Staff wearing review

I wear it when I feel like it, and I wear it all the time. Even now, when I rolled up the jacket, I was wearing it. Various explanations are given above, so I won't write in detail. Anyway, you can wear it all the time. Of course, I also feel the benefits mentioned above. I don't even feel special when I'm wearing it It's become too obvious, but maybe that's what it is.

Mr. Kurosawa may get mad at me, but I always dry my clothes with a dryer. I don't feel any big shrinkage or change... but please take full responsibility.
