Why Choose Possum Merino?

New Zealand Possum Merino is a remarkable natural fibre blend that combines the exceptional warmth of possum fibre with the softness and breathability of fine Merino Wool.

The naturally hollow possum fibres help trap body heat, providing outstanding warmth without unnecessary weight or bulk. Merino Wool adds softness and helps regulate temperature, while nylon contributes durability and helps the garment retain its shape.

The result is a lightweight, soft and exceptionally warm garment that's ideal for comfortable everyday layering.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water using a wool detergent. Reshape while damp and dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry or bleach.

Our Favourite Thing About This Vest

The full zip makes this vest wonderfully versatile. Zip it right up when the temperature drops or wear it open over a shirt for a more relaxed look. The broad rib pattern adds just enough texture to make this more than an ordinary layering piece.
