Which merino weight fabric do you need to wear depends on how warm or cool you want to be?
Do you need merino for summer or winter. Look at the fabric weight on the fabric listing and the higher the number, the warmer and toastier you will be. Merino fabric does not need bulk for warmth.

For the warmer months or active wear. Also look for fabrics which have eyelets which allow for the air to flow through the eyelets for ventilation and cooling. A merino tencel blend can also be used as tencel is a natural fibre that helps with cooling. |
