Merino wool apparel with useful natural-fiber performance options, but current products also show nylon, spandex, and TENCEL.
Official homepage and product feed were reviewed. Sampled products included tees and polos, with nylon, spandex, TENCEL, wool, and merino terms appearing. No brand-wide plastic-free claim is assumed; sewing thread, elastic, linings, closures, finishes, and trims still require product-level confirmation. The score is brand-wide: an excellent 100% natural-fiber item does not make a mixed catalog synthetic-free.
Confirm the exact product page and care label for fiber percentages, sewing thread, elastic, labels, linings, closures, finishes, coatings, and packaging. “100%” normally describes the main fabric unless the brand provides a full component bill of materials.
Merino tees, base layers, and selected wool apparel where the product page shows a clean blend.
Current product-listing risk terms detected: nylon, spandex, tencel. Continue to verify item-level composition, linings, trims, thread, waistbands, closures, finishes, and packaging before treating any product as plastic-free.
Full-audit score revised from 66 to 56. Breakdown: 34/40 materials, 6/20 plastic-free construction, 4/15 natural-fiber catalog focus, 3/10 certifications, and 9/15 transparency and independent evidence.
Re-audited 2026-08-02 using the current official catalog and product evidence, then cross-checked against hikinggeek.com. Independent sources were used to corroborate composition, certifications, construction, catalog scope, or transparency; unsupported component claims were treated as unknown. Evidence confidence: Medium.
