Merino wool is a precious fibre that requires time, expertise, and numerous quality controls. It takes nearly a year to grow on a sheep's back before being shorn, washed, spun, knitted, and transformed into fabric. Added to this are recognised certifications, responsible breeding practices, and high quality standards. At Périple, we have chosen to start with an exceptional material to create garments designed to last.

Yes. Our collection will gradually evolve with the arrival of new fabric weights to offer clothing adapted to even more seasons and activities, while maintaining the same quality standards.

No. We use ultra-fine merino wool measuring 18.5 microns, known for its softness. The finer a fiber, the more pleasant it is against the skin.

Thanks to its natural structure, it is odour-resistant and effectively wicks away moisture. In many cases, simply airing out the garment between uses is sufficient.

Yes. Merino fibers wick away moisture while helping to maintain a comfortable temperature, even during exercise.

GSM (grams per square meter) measures fabric density. Our 240 GSM merino is the most versatile: it’s ideal as a base layer and comfortable all year round. Our 360 GSM merino, with its brushed fleece interior, is denser, warmer, and designed as a mid-layer for cool and cold days. Both offer the same natural merino properties; only the level of warmth and usage differ.

Merino wool is a natural fiber that comes from the merino sheep, a breed known for its exceptionally fine and soft fleece. Thanks to its natural properties, it helps regulate body temperature, wicks away moisture, and resists odors, making it an ideal material for both outdoor and everyday wear.

When cleaning is necessary, machine wash your garment in cold water on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent. To preserve the quality of the fiber, we recommend washing it separately or with other delicate items to avoid friction caused by zippers, velcro, or other abrasive elements. Then lay your garment flat to air dry.

We advise against it. To preserve the softness, shape and longevity of merino wool, it is best to air dry it.

Opt for a mild detergent designed for wool or delicate fibers. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which can alter the natural properties of the fiber. We highly recommend Eucalan detergent, enriched with lanolin, which you can find in our online store.

If you wish to remove some creases, use a low-heat iron or a clothes steamer.

If the care recommendations are followed, your garment will retain its shape and properties. Just avoid hot water and the dryer, which can cause natural fibers to shrink.

Yes. It is perfectly normal for merino wool to pill a bit during the first few wears, particularly in areas subject to friction (backpack, belt, thighs, etc.). This does not affect the quality or performance of the garment in any way. Simply remove them gently with a fabric shaver to restore its original appearance. Pilling is a sign that a natural fiber is alive... not that it is wearing out.

Yes. Thanks to its natural moisture-wicking properties, merino wool dries relatively quickly.
