Smartwool

Smartwool was founded on the idea that being outside should be comfortable, not a struggle against the elements. They’ve spent decades perfecting the art of using Merino wool to keep people moving without the itch or the chill.

The Specs

• Soft, premium Merino that manages moisture and stays fresh naturally.
• Targeted cushioning in high-impact areas for all-day comfort.
• Breathability that works just as well in the summer heat as it does in the winter cold.

The Verdict
From a breezy loop around Point Pleasant to a crisp morning on the Chain of Lakes trail, Smartwool is our first choice for gear that feels as good at the end of the day as it did at the start.
