How SmartWool Helps Reduce Discomfort Aches and Pains

Superior Moisture Management

One of the primary causes of discomfort during walking or running is excessive moisture, which can lead to chafing and blisters. SmartWool's Merino wool products effectively wick moisture away from your skin, keeping you dry and comfortable throughout your activity.


Temperature Regulation

Merino wool is known for its exceptional temperature-regulating properties, which can help prevent overheating or excessive cooling during your walks or runs. By maintaining an optimal body temperature, SmartWool products can help reduce discomfort caused by changes in body core temperature during physical activity.


Odor Resistance

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, which means that SmartWool products can help you feel fresh and clean during your walks or runs. By minimizing odors, you can focus on your performance instead of feeling self-conscious about how you smell. Plus with its antimicrobial properties, Merino wool helps to protect your skin against fungus and bacteria.


Cushioning and Support

SmartWool offers products like special engineered socks and base layers that provide targeted cushioning and support during activities like walking and running. The additional targeted cushion in the toes and the heel add comfort to the foot as well as minimise wear. These socks also have specifically designed bands stitched into the socks that support the foot and hold the sock in place.

Natural and Renewable

Merino wool is a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fiber, making it an eco-friendly choice for your activewear. Moreover, Merino wool can be recycled which makes it a sustainable option. 


Soft and Comfortable

Unlike traditional wool, Merino wool is incredibly soft and comfortable against your skin, making it perfect for walking and running gear. During the manufacturing process the wool is thoroughly washed and crafted into a soft yarn, helping to provide a superior next to skin feel! 


Versatile and Durable

Merino wool is not only comfortable but also highly durable, which means your SmartWool products will last longer and withstand the rigours of your walking or running routine. As a natural fibre, wool is very strong and has greater durability than other materials such as cotton. 


Breathability

One of the key factors in staying comfortable during physical activities is breathability. Merino wool excels in this aspect, allowing air to circulate and preventing overheating or excessive sweating. This is achieved through the natural porous design of merino wool that helps to remove and release moisture.
