"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I use Wool Wash on all my merino pieces—baselayers, running socks, even lightweight tees. It gets rid of trail funk fast, helps the fabric dry quicker, and keeps wool feeling soft instead of tired or scratchy. After a few cycles, the difference in wicking and comfort is honestly huge, especially on multi-day adventures.""We turn to Nikwax Wool Wash when our merino wool baselayers and socks need a true performance reset. Merino wool naturally regulates temperature and manages moisture better than almost anything else, but standard detergents can clog fibers, slow drying, and trap odors. Wool Wash restores that next-to-skin freshness by cleaning deeply, eliminating odors, and reviving the wicking properties that keep us dry on trail runs, climbs, and long backpacking miles. Designed specifically for active merino wool, this wash improves moisture spread and accelerates dry times, helping baselayers stay breathable and comfortable in any season. The gentle formula keeps fibers supple without relying on softeners, preserving the natural performance that makes merino wool a go-to for extended wear and multi-day trips."
