If we've got one major gripe with merino base layers, it's that most of them come in such a tight fit that passers-by can tell what you had for breakfast. Which is partly why we're such big fans of Kiwi brand Mons Royale. Sure, they do the slim-fit base layers as well, but they also make looser versions that look and feel like your favourite tee – only with all those fantastic benefits of merino wool. This long-sleeved Yotei comes in a 190gsm 100% pure merino fabric that's warm, breathable, quick-drying and odour-resistant. You can layer the Yotei over a more fitted base layer for extra warmth, or just wear it on its own for a relaxed style on the slopes or the bike trail. Added points for thumb loops that keep the sleeves from riding up when you're riding down.

Flashy technical outerwear is all well and good, but the foundation for all-day comfort in the great outdoors is a solid baselayer. Unfortunately, most are tight-fitting and uninspired, made from flimsy fabrics that look like Swiss cheese after a week or two on the trail.
Enter New Zealand-based brand, Mons Royale, born out of the Kiwi snow sports scene in the mountains above Lake Wanaka. Making merino base layers, jerseys and sweaters is what they do – and it really shows.
Just about everything in the Mons range is built around ethically and sustainably produced merino wool – a fibre with so many miracle properties that only Mother Nature could have come up with it. But it’s Mons Royale’s more relaxed approach to design that really makes them stand out. Constructed for comfort and flexibility, their base layers fit like your favourite T-shirt, rather than feeling as if they’ve been sprayed on.
We love Mons Royale because it’s technical stuff that looks good enough to wear every day. The cuts are casual, the pastel colours are cool but muted, and the branding isn’t too full-on. Take your Mons kit out for a day on the mountain, then stick the bike or climbing gear back in the van, switch the shorts for a clean pair of jeans and you’re all set to go for a post-adventure beer.
