Why wear a merino wool polo?
When you think of a men's polo shirt, the image is often linked to piqué cotton, which, as explained in the article from "Tessutietendaggipanini.it", is a cotton fabric with small raised patterns, or to synthetic materials. But extrafine merino wool is completely changing the paradigm. This article explores how and why merino wool is redefining the very concept of men's polo.
1. What is extrafine merino wool
The extrafine merino wool comes from selected sheep, mainly Australian, and is famous for its extreme fineness. The fibers have a thickness of less than 19 microns, making it much softer than common wool. This fineness makes it ideal for garments in direct contact with the skin, such as polos.
2. The technical characteristics of merino wool

ThermoregulationMerino wool maintains a constant body temperature.
-
AntiodoreMerino wool prevents bacterial growth.
-
Moisture absorptionMerino wool absorbs sweat while keeping the skin dry.
-
Lightness and breathabilityMerino wool is perfect even for summer.
3. Comparison between merino wool, cotton, and synthetic materials
While cotton absorbs but does not regulate temperature and synthetic fabrics retain moisture, merino wool combines the best of both worlds: it is natural, breathable, insulating and odor-resistant.
4. Merino wool and hot climate: the myth to debunk
Contrary to popular belief, merino wool is not just for winter. Its hollow fiber structure allows air circulation, keeping you cool even at high temperatures. The men's short-sleeve polo shirts in merino wool are therefore perfect for summer.
5. Benefits for those who travel or work all day
A merino wool polo resists odors and does not wrinkle easily. This makes it perfect for long trips, office days, or business meetings.
6. Comfort in contact with the skin
Merino wool does not itch, it is soft and silky. Men's polo shirts made with this fiber are comfortable to wear all day long, without irritation.
7. Head care
Merino wool polos can be hand washed or machine washed on delicate cycles. Merino wool polos should not be spun at high speeds and are air dried, maintaining shape and brightness.
Extrafin merino wool is a true revolution for the men's polo world. It combines elegance, technical performance, and sustainability in a unique garment, designed to last over time.
