Why Merino
How?
Go Natural 1
Every Embers garment begins life on the back of a merino sheep in New Zealand’s stunning Southern Alps.
Merino is nature’s intelligent fibre, it has a superb warmth to weight ratio, is highly breathable and is exceptional at actively moving moisture away from the skin.
No matter what the season, weather or acrtivity merino will keep you feeling comfortable.
Merino is also naturally antibacterial (non smelly) which means you can pack lighter and wash less..
Merino fibres also release a small amount of heat when wet, so unlike synthetics they will not feel cold and clammy when you stop your activity.
New Zealand merino is regarded as the finest, softest and purest merino in the world.
You only have to feel it to believe it.

Every Embers garment is a fine mix of traditional and modern qualities.
Our Suppliers farm their merino flocks in incredibly remote and rugged landscapes.
The Farming techniques are low density, low impact and in many most cases are relatively unchanged in 100 years.
This contrasts beautifully with the later phases of garment production which include cutting edge spinning,, knitting and sewing techniques.
This combination of traditional and modern results in an intriguing story and a premium quality product.
Your garment is ready to return to the mountains when you are.
