Hey Everyone,
El Niño usually means a snowy winter here in New York but we’ve been burning a bit too many fossil fuels and now it just means we get a wet almost winter. We’d call it merino weather except that nearly all weather is merino weather...
We’re easing into the year with the debut of a brand new merino blend fabric we callDaydry Merino Ciclo Jerseybut justDaydryworks too. It’s new so obviously it’s our new favorite, but there are some good specific reasons for that. If you are familiar with our oldDaybreakandSportweightmerinos, this stuff is like the immaculate union of the two. Lightweight and quick drying with an open and highly breathable structure. It’s made from 16.5 top-capped merino too so it’s super soft and at 75% merino content you get tons of that classic merino performance. Available now in our normie/mean/average/“cut zero” cut.Experiment 415 - Daydry Merino Mean T-shirt.\xa0

The beauty of theDaydry Merinois not just in the beautiful plush merino, but in how well it synergizes with the 25% Ciclo biodegradable poly content to create an elevated form of dryness. Merino and polyester feel dry for two very different reasons. Merino sucks up water vapor into its core while repelling liquid water from its surface, literally dehumidifying the area around your body. Polyester on the other hand sucks up almost no moisture at all (just 0.4% of its weight) but wicks liquid water quickly across its surface, speeding up evaporation times. In other words merino is better at handling vapor and poly at liquids and when combined in the right way you can make a fabric that handles both better. The final synergy is in the openness. Merino is a tightly curled and springy fiber, it naturally wants to snap shut when woven or knit. By intimately blending one part polyester (25%) with three parts merino (75%) you get a yarn that is still super soft but also significantly stiffer than pure merino, which results in a more open knit structure, a fabric with more gaps for air to flow through for superior breathability and evaporative cooling. Long story short this stuff extends merino’s already broad thermal comfort zone. It’s cool and breezy when worn alone but insulates well when layered up, even if it’s damp out.Daydry Merino Ciclo Jersey.\xa0

Of course merino is not for everyone, sometimes you don’t just want a little more breathability, you want the whole damn thing. And for those times you need a littleOverkill Mesh Tankin your life. Emphasis on a little because there is more sex than fabric in a mesh tank top. Cut with a high neckline in our favorite dense, smooth and high stretch fabric. This round is cut a size larger than the experimental round so true to size should fit snug but not tight. To experience the full compressive experience feel free to size down, the heavy stretch means you can make a lot of sizes work. Just bear in mind that the more you stretch into it the more transparent it becomes. Worn true to size it walks a sultry line on the edges of opacity, but worn a few sizes down and the whole world is going to know. And yeah did we mention how cool this wears and how quickly it dries? If there was ever a garment built for a hot and sweaty dancefloor at prime time it’s this one, theOverkill Mesh Tank.\xa0
