Materials & Tech
The Thorpe combines 68% superfine Merino wool (17.5 microns) with 32% TENCEL™ Lyocell. This premium blend delivers natural temperature regulation, moisture management, softness, and durability—without using polyester.
The combination outperforms either fibre alone:
- Moisture control: TENCEL™ wicks sweat up to 3x faster than Merino.
- Cooling: TENCEL™ provides a natural cooling effect, making the fabric lighter and fresher.
- Warm when wet: Merino insulates even when damp.
- Durability: Together, they resist pilling and abrasion.
- Softness: Extra-smooth feel against skin for chafe-free comfort.
- Eco-friendly: TENCEL™ is sustainably sourced from wood pulp
Unlike synthetics, the Thorpe has no plastic feel and doesn’t trap odour. Unlike cotton, it won’t soak, chill you when wet, or cause chafing. You get natural performance, comfort, and sustainability in one layer.
Wash & Care
Wash when needed with warm water and mild soap, ensuring you remove mud from locks, baskets, and tips. Wipe with a cloth, air dry completely before reassembly to prevent corrosion, and avoid using oil on inner mechanisms, which can cause slipping.
Wash: Delicate/wool cycle, cool water (30°C), with wool detergent (we recommend Grangers Merino Wash).
Avoid: Fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents.
Dry: Lay flat or on a rack, out of direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying (unless label allows on low).
Extra tips: Wash inside out to reduce pilling. Rinse stains promptly. Store in a cool, dry place.
