Stay Cool This Summer: Smartwool Active Mesh Short Sleeve Shirt and Hoody

  • 2025-04-24 08:52:34
    Smartwool’s new Active Mesh fabric combines the natural benefits of Merino wool with the quick-drying properties of recycled polyester and the softness and cooling properties of TENCEL Lyocell fibres. This triple fibre weave provides all the benefits of each material in a single fabric to keep you comfortable and dry. Smartwool has used two fabric blends in both their hoody and short-sleeved T-shirt, with 53% Merino Wool and 47% Lyocell in the front and 38% Merino Wool, 33% Lyocell, and 29% Polyester in the back and sleeves for added moisture-wicking. A ventilated mesh weave is used on the sleeves and back of the T-shirt as well as on the hood to provide increased breathability for better temperature regulation. Their Active Mesh Hoodie is made for warm weather performance where sun protection is a must. It's relaxed and roomy fit provides increased comfort and ventilation to ensure you don’t overheat. The Shot Sleeve T-shirt has the same relaxed and roomy fit, which is ideal for a workout at the gym, run, hike, outing on the bike or just lunch with friends.
