HOW HAVE WE MADE OUR MERINO WOOL T-SHIRTS MORE DURABLE?

We have used a BETA-SPUN yarn structure in which the polyamide threads coat the Merino wool fibres. This protects them from rubbing and cuts without affecting their properties.

Odour control

The components used reduce bad odours. Laboratory tested according to ISO 17299-3
This means you can carry less clothing when trekking!

REDUCING THE FREEZING EFFECT

After any physical effort that involves a lot of perspiration, wool helps to preserve the body temperature while synthetic fabrics cause the temperature to drop faster.
The unpleasant cooling or "freezing effect" is therefore reduced by the merino wool.

Do you have a final word of advice before using it?

For a softer feel, wash your t-shirt before first use.

HOW TO WASH YOUR T-SHIRT MADE WITH MERINO WOOL?

We recommend that you machine wash your merino wool t-shirt at 30° on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent .

Dry flat. NEVER tumble dry unless you want to end up with a Merino T-shirt fit only for a doll!

Test

The Trek 500 Zip T-shirt was tested by 9 users in the Massif des Bauges in October 2019. These testers, who are independent of Decathlon, were supported by our design teams: Maïté, our product engineer, Mélanie, our designer and myself, the product manager.
For 5 days, we tested this T-shirt together in cold, snowy conditions, with some fine days of walking and a number of nights in a bed-and-breakfast or bivouac.
We used this test to validate the product in use.
