The Gear Dad Will Love For Every Activity
Merino wool clothing is the perfect gift for the active dad. In addition to being a natural, renewable and biodegradable fabric, Merino wool wicks moisture and is antimicrobial. Incredible breathability means he won't feel stinky or clammy during his favorite activities. It also regulates body temperature to offer year-round comfort.
Here are our favorite Merino wool clothing Father's Day gift options based on various activities.

For the dad seeking a new PB, look no further than the Ritual Tee. This technical workout shirt is ideal for long distance running, biking, backpacking, and high-output activities. The natural Merino tee is strong, yet ultra lightweight so it will keep dad cool and comfortable. The quick-wicking material keeps dad dry, and thoughtful seaming makes for a garment that doesn't chafe during long workouts or when wearing a pack.
SUP/Hike/Fish: The Solstice Hoodie
PC: Ian Provo
Stay cool, covered and protected with the Solstice Hoodie. This lightweight long-sleeved pullover is naturally 30+UPF (without the use of chemicals) to guard against harmful UV rays, which are amplified when reflected off water and other surfaces. Discreet thumb holes keep the Solstice sleeves in place, a longer hem can be tucked in, and the loose-fitting hood fits perfectly over a hat and can be cinched tight for even more protection - to deter pests like ticks and mosquitoes. In addition, the soft Merino fabric wicks sweat and breathes to regulate temperature - reducing the chance of overheating. It also dries quickly. All this peace-of-mind packs up small and is naturally antibacterial, eliminating the need for frequent washing.
