Design details

HOW HAVE WE REINFORCED THE DURABILITY OF OUR MERINO WOOL T-SHIRTS?

We use a BETA-SPUN yarn structure, i.e. the merino wool fibres are coated with a fine sheath of polyamide filaments to protect them from rubbing and cuts, without affecting the properties of the wool.

Odour control

The component limits perspiration odours. This Merino wool t-shirt can therefore be worn several days in a row and means you can take less clothes when trekking making for a lighter backpack!

Reduction of the freezing effect

When you make a physical effort and sweat heavily, the merino wool easily traps the insulating warm air and can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture without making you feel damp, which is appreciable in cool weather. In hot, dry weather, the evaporation of the water in the wool absorbs energy, which cools the body slightly at the same time.

Tip before use

For a softer feel, wash your t-shirt before first use.

HOW TO WASH YOUR T-SHIRT MADE WITH MERINO WOOL?

We recommend that you machine wash your MT500 MERINO wool T-shirt at 30°C on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent. Dry flat and NEVER tumble dry unless you want it to shrink by one or two sizes! For more information: https://support.decathlon.co.uk/how-to-maintain-a-merino-wool-garment

Testing

FORCLAZ products undergo rigorous tests at our design centre at the foot of Mont-Blanc, before being tested in the field in real conditions.

Odour control lab tests

Made from 86% Merino wool, the fabric limits perspiration odours and has been laboratory tested according to ISO 17299-3. This means you can wear your top for longer, and carry less clothing on multi-day treks.

Thermal lab tests

We've tested the material in a climate-controlled chamber in order to determine its performance level. The results highlighted the heat-regulation properties of wool. After intense physical exercise and increased perspiration, wool helps to maintain a consistent body temperature while synthetic fabrics cool down faster. The unpleasant cooling or "freezing effect" is therefore reduced by the Merino wool.

Field tests in the mountains

In November 2018, 8 trekkers (4 men and 4 women) and part of the Forclaz design team tested this long-sleeved t-shirt for four days in the Southern French Alps (Lus La Croix Haute). There was wind, rain, and even a bit of snow, allowing them to really put the t-shirt to the test. They were then able to make a few final tweaks to the design, before validating it for mountain trekking use.
