Sun protective clothing is a must for long adventures - whether it's hot outside or not. Our collection of men's and women's sun protection shirts, hoodies, and other merino wool clothing offers the ability to look and feel great while protecting yourself from the sun. Choose from varying UPF ratings, as well as an array of styles that will make you want to get out and explore.
Merino wool is the best choice for hiking and backpacking layers. Comfortable, versatile, lightweight Merino wool regulates body temperature by releaseing heat and keeping sweat away from your skin, plus it offers natural sun protection for long day hikes. Throw on an extra layer to stay warm when the weather cools.
Merino wool is different from traditional wool for a few reasons, one being that merino wool is the most flame-resistant of any type of natural fabric. So whether you're close to the campfire, or you're at high altitude on a sunny day, our merino wool is protecting you.
Many Ridge Merino products feature our (m)Force™ Technology, which results in a fabric that dries faster and lasts longer than 100% merino wool. The (m)Force™ Technology also helps the fabric recover properly without stretching out over time and use. Whether you need sun protection clothing for fishing, backpacking, or kayaking, (m)Force™ Technology truly augments the performance of merino wool.
