Merino wool is commonly known as a winter material – it keeps you warm even when damp and protects against the cold. But did you know it's also perfect for summer? More and more parents are turning to merino during the warmer months. Here's why – and it may surprise you.
1. Merino breathes better than cotton
Merino fibers are naturally breathable – they wick away moisture and heat better than standard cotton. Your baby stays dry and comfortable, even while sleeping or riding in a stroller on a warm day.
2. It regulates temperature – cools and warms as needed
Merino wool helps maintain a stable microclimate. It warms in cold weather and cools in the heat, making it perfect for unpredictable temperatures and longer walks.
3. Natural UV protection
Merino offers natural UV protection (up to UPF 40+) without the need for chemical treatments. It protects your child from overheating and harmful sunlight.
4. Hypoallergenic and antibacterial
Merino is gentle and non-irritating – ideal for babies with sensitive or eczema-prone skin. It also has antibacterial properties and doesn’t absorb odors, so it often only needs to be aired out, not washed.
5. Merino grows with your child
Thanks to its stretch and durability, merino garments and accessories last for seasons. Your child may outgrow the item long before it wears out.
