Original Product Description

The Tern Ultralight Merino Wool Hoodie is engineered for optimal moisture-wicking, comfort, sun protection, and quick-drying performance while managing odor & bacteria buildup. 

• Moisture Management: Experience excellent moisture-wicking capabilities, allowing the merino wool blend to effectively draw moisture away from your body while retaining its shape exceptionally well. Ideal for both hot weather and as a base layer in cold temperatures. 
• Comfortable Fit: The athletic fit of the Tern ensures comfort without being tight or restrictive. This design enhances the merino wool's moisture-wicking properties. With no hardware, simplicity reigns, contributing to decreased weight for high activity.
• Odor and Bacteria Resistance: Benefit from the natural odor-resistant properties of merino wool, making the Tern perfect for travel, running, hiking, and everyday use. The ultralight weight adds to its versatility.
• Better Shape Retention: the new Poly blend Tern fabric holds its shape exceptionally well for merino wool, even when wet.  It will stretch sufficiently without “bagging out” & becoming shapeless. 
• Faster Dry Times: the Tern dries faster than typical merino wool blends.  This gives you better performance in high-output activities & will help you regulate your temperature better.

The natural odor resistant & ultralight properties of merino wool make the shirt perfect for travel, running, hiking, and everyday use.

The fit should be athletic, but not tight or restrictive- this allows the merino wool blend to more effectively wick moisture from your body.  There is no hardware, adding to the simplicity and decreasing weight.  The Tern is a high performance piece for high activity.

NUYARN TECHNOLOGY

Outdoor vitals uses Nuyarn­­® Technology in all of our merino wool fabrics & apparel. Nuyarn is a spinning technology that releases the natural performance characteristics of wool fiber that are otherwise twisted out by traditional wool spinning methods. 

Essentially the result is performance products made from natural fibers that can outperform synthetics. 

Nuyarn can make wook that performs as closely as possible to the way it does in nature, to rival or exceed the performance of synthetic alternatives. 

TYPES OF SPINNING

 Ring Spun & Traditional Core Spun techniques compress the natural air pockets in the fiber, create loops, & restrict the natural movement of the fibers -essentially creating a rope-like structure that can be itchy next to skin. 

Nuyarn® does not twist the fibers. Instead it drafts merino fibers along a high performance filament, resulting in 2 ply yarns with much more volume & aeration.  (This 2 ply yarn structure is 35% finer than yarns spun on a conventional ring frame. Combined with the Nuyarn® thermal advantage, this offers the capacity to engineer much lighter, high performance fabrics as a result.)

BENEFIT SUMMARY

The Nuyarn® method of twist-free spinning allows us to create products that outperform traditional merino wool & synthetics, and offer a natural enhancer to athletic performance.
