3 Merino Wool products for the minimalist traveller

Anybody who travels frequently gets that warm fuzzy feeling when you find products that help you become that minimalist traveller you always dreamed of being.  Merino wool is often talked about as the miracle fabric, in many ways it is. It’s a natural fibre that wicks away sweat and keeps odour at bay. An excellent insulator keeps you warm even when wet! Best of all it’s naturally anti-bacterial, which means you can wear it for longer without any odour.
