Behind the Seams Ep. 1: More with Less
A new series of product video shorts looks at the why behind some of our favourite base layers. All in three minutes or less.
BY : MARK COHEN • Sustainability • 28.06.2024
In the first part of this new series, we double-click on some of the base layers we love and the overlap between comfort, the outdoors and sustainability. We’ve dubbed the shorts, “Behind the Seams” – a nod to the seamless products for which we’re best known: the world’s most comfortable, next-to-skin base layers.
Episode one is all about a summer-weight Performance Wool base layer designed specifically for cycling. The cream-coloured variant (highlighted in the video) is made without dyes and uses 50 per cent less water and chemicals than some others in the range: a step towards our “choose with care” commitment to use 100% preferred materials by 2030.
Made from a merino-blend fabric composed of 67 per cent merino wool and 33 per cent polyamide, this is an absolute in-house fave: a standout in the heat (and even more so in the mountains); naturally temperature regulating; and able to be worn again and again without washing thanks to merino’s natural anti-odour properties. Plus, it wears incredibly well off the bike, too, as an undershirt year round.
More Behind the Seams episodes are coming in winter with various pinnacle base layer products – like the Blackcomb, which is made from recycled fibres – featured alongside other high performers. Stay tuned.
