Today's dad is constantly on the move. From the gym to kids' soccer practice to the office, there's not much time to think about what to wear. Ridge Merino has you covered with tons of clothing options for rad dads on the move.
In addition to being natural, renewable and biodegradable, Merino wool wicks moisture and is antimicrobial and odor-resistant. It breathes well so dads won't feel gross or clammy, and it regulates body temperature to provide year-round comfort, regardless of how hot or cold it is outside.
Here are some of our favorite Merino wool Father's Day gifts.
A Breathable & Stylish Short Sleeve Button Down
Our newest men's button down shirt is made of a perforated fabric perfect for keeping dad cool all summer long. This shirt can be dressed up or down so it works just as well for backyard grilling as it does for dinner out or a spontaneous bike ride around town.
Louis K. got one and left this review: "Fantastic shirt. Great manufacturing and attention to details. But it's light and super breathable for when it gets hot. I've had other wool summer shirts before. This is the best!"
A Merino Wool Polo
For a more classic gift, our Journey Polo has long been a Father's Day favorite. It's made with the same Merino wool fabric blend as our best-selling Journey Tee but in a sharp polo style. You can't go wrong with this odor-resistant, moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating polo.
A Merino Wool T-Shirt
If your dad's t-shirt drawer is overflowing with cotton tees, it's time for an upgrade to Merino. Our ultimate tee, the Journey, was named one of "The Top Sweat-Wicking, BO-Killing Merino Wool T-Shirts" by Men's Journal.
If you have a groovy dad, he'll love our limited edition Smoke Blue Tie-Dye Journey Tee (pictured above). If he's not a tie-dye guy, grab him a solid color Journey shirt: a V-Neck, Crew Neck, Pocket Tee or graphic Pocket Tee.
A Classic & Cozy Pullover Hoodie
Maybe dad already has a simple black hoodie, but does he have a Merino wool one? New this year, our Onsen Hoodie has quickly become a Team Ridge favorite. Named after Japanese hot springs (onsens), this hoodie is so comfortable he won't want to wear anything else at home, and he can get plenty of wears before washing it since Merino wool is naturally odor resistant.
A Lightweight Sun Hoodie
If your dad hates sunscreen or never knows what to wear for hiking or mowing the lawn that'll keep him covered yet cool, he needs a Solstice Sun Hoodie. Our bestselling lightweight pullover hoodies have 30+ UPF to keep him protected all day long. This year we introduced a Solstice Pro Sun Hoodie, so if he'd like a half zip, a small chest pocket and a tighter hood, he'll love the Pro.
A Merino Wool Base Layer Top
Every dad needs a great Merino base layer shirt. The answer: Aspect Long Sleeve Base Layer Top. Featured two years in a row in Wirecutter's Best Gifts for Dads, the Aspect top isn't just for winter—it makes a great year-round long sleeve shirt too.
"If your dad hasn’t experienced the pleasures of the machine-washable Ridge Merino Men’s Aspect Midweight Wool Base Layer Long Sleeve Shirt—our top pick for thermal underwear—he’s in for a treat. The merino-wool and nylon blend creates a soft, breathable, non-itchy layer to keep your gift recipient cozy on a bone-chilling day. This shirt also works as an airy standalone piece on sunny days. It may seem pricey for just a shirt, but that’s the thing: A few wears will convince any dad that it’s not just a shirt." - Wirecutter
Merino Wool Basics
You can't go wrong gifting underwear and socks, especially when they're made of high quality Merino wool. Our bestselling Boxer Briefs and Long Boxer Briefs make a great Father's Day gift.
Our Minaret Socks (pictured above) are made for hiking and running, but they work wonderfully for everyday wear and travel too since they're odor resistant and super comfy. If your dad is an avid skier, get him stoked for next ski season with the super lightweight Ritter Merino Socks or the midweight Banked Ski Socks.
