Hailing from the land of Merino sheep, it is no surprise that Mons Royale masters the art of creating durable base layers made from Merino Wool. New for this season, the Kiwi brand introduces a baselayer to their already superior range of merino wool base layers, the Cascade (available for both men’s and women’s specific cuts).

Who Are The Mons Royale Cascade Merino Flex For?

Merino Wool is a warm, odour free, material that’s been tried and tested in nature to withstand all extremes. The Cascade will keep you cool when it’s hot and hot when it’s not, whilst feeling soft right next to the skin. This is the perfect base layer when looking for a warm, ethically made, option to help regulate your body temperature throughout the season.

Materials and Construction

All of Mons Royale’s merino wool is made in partnership with New Zealand’s ZQ Merino, the world’s leading ethical wool brand. They stand for a better quality of life for the animals, the planet, and people. The yarn is spun at Süedwolle and certified with the latest eco certifications including Bluesign and Oeko-Tex standards.

Merino Wool itself, contains natural anti-bacterial properties, meaning you and your base layer are less likely to get smelly even when sweating. Another great quality of merino wool is its moisture-wicking abilities as it can absorb up to 30% of its own weight, so even when sweating it won’t make the base-layer wet.

Thanks to Merino wool’s natural climate control abilities, the Cascade helps to regulate the body temperature by moving moisture away from the body. However, for the base layer to work to its best ability, it needs to be snug. The base layer is designed to move with the body, while being extremely comfortable and not restrictive at all.

Features

The Cascade is available in a few different designs for both men and women. The top can be found as a normal long-sleeved one (as seen on the male model) or with a ¼ zip (as seen on the female model). Both the LS and the zip model come with straight hem and thumb loops.

As for the leggings, they too come in two different models: the ¾ tights (as seen on the male model) and full-length leggings (as seen on the female model). Both cuts have a slim fit, to maximize the fabric’s moisture-wicking abilities.

Roundup

After years of experience, Mons Royale only offers the best in terms of quality, comfort and the well-being of the sheep. The Cascade base-layer is a welcomed addition to their line, offering soft mid-weight protection to the cold for both men and women.

Trade Secrets

Robbie Paton – Mons Royale PR, Groove Armada

“From ninja kicks, to back-country trips – it might be a base layer, but with new Merino Flex, the Cascade is anything but basic. Combining the warmth and breathability of merino, with a 4-way stretch. Designed to move with you, where ever you go.

When we went out to create a print for our new baselayer, we wanted to create marks using only objects from nature. We experimented with stones, leaves, grass – in the end we used a branch as our paint brush. The result is this print we call Element Camo.”
