Lightweight Men's Wool Crew - 100% Merino Wool

Lightweight Merino Performance for Changing Conditions: The Men’s Wool Crew

Cool mornings, changing elevations, and active days call for a layer that adds warmth without trapping too much heat. The Ticonderoga Lightweight Men’s Wool Crew is made from 100% Australian merino wool in a breathable 170 g/m² jersey knit, giving you lightweight insulation with the natural moisture management and temperature regulation merino is known for.

Soft 17.5-micron fibers make it comfortable against bare skin, while a streamlined long-sleeve design works equally well on its own or as the foundation of a layering system. From hiking and camping to travel and everyday wear, this is an easy layer to keep close when conditions are unpredictable.

Lightweight Performance Without the Bulk

100% Merino Wool: Natural merino provides warmth, breathability, moisture management, and odor resistance without relying on synthetic performance fibers.

170 g/m² Jersey Knit: Lightweight fabric provides enough insulation to take the edge off cool conditions without the bulk of a traditional thermal.

Fine 17.5-Micron Fibers: Fine merino fibers create a soft next-to-skin feel suited to all-day wear.

UPF 25 Protection: Adds ultraviolet protection for long days spent outside.

Light & Packable: At just 8 ounces in a size large, the Ticonderoga adds useful coverage without taking up much room in your pack.

Built for Active Layering

Base-Layer Design: Wear it directly against the skin to take advantage of merino wool's natural moisture-management properties.

Regular Fit: Provides a little room to move and breathe without becoming overly loose beneath additional layers.

Flatlock Seams: Smooth seam construction helps reduce rubbing and chafing during hiking, running, biking, and repetitive movement.

Tagless Construction: Eliminates an irritating neck tag for greater comfort during extended wear.

Long-Sleeve Coverage: Adds lightweight warmth across the arms and upper body while remaining breathable during active use.

Natural Merino Performance

Moisture Management: Merino wool absorbs moisture vapor from your skin and releases it into the surrounding air, helping you stay more comfortable as your activity level changes.

Temperature Regulation: Wool helps retain warmth when conditions cool while allowing excess heat to escape as you start moving.

Naturally Odor Resistant: Merino naturally resists odor-causing bacteria, making this crew especially useful for travel, backpacking, and multi-day adventures.

Breathable Comfort: The lightweight jersey knit allows airflow, helping prevent the hot, clammy feeling that can develop beneath less breathable layers.

Insulates When Damp: Merino continues providing insulation when exposed to moisture, making it a dependable choice for unpredictable outdoor conditions.

Versatility Across the Seasons

Spring & Fall: An ideal standalone layer for crisp mornings, cool evenings, and transitional weather.

Summer: Useful for high elevations, cool nights at camp, early starts, and changing mountain conditions.

Winter: Wear it as a lightweight first layer beneath heavier insulation and weather protection.

Trail to Everyday: The simple crew-neck design transitions easily from outdoor adventures to travel and casual everyday wear.
