We have all been there. You dash through a humid station to catch a flight. By the time you reach your seat, your cotton t-shirt is a damp mess sticking to your back. This is the “Soggy T-shirt” trap. It ruins travel days.
Unlike cotton, which acts like a sponge, Merino wool* excels at evaporation. It pulls sweat away and releases it as vapor. This keep the fabric surface bone-dry. You can walk 20,000 steps across a new city and still feel crisp.
For the minimalist, Merino simplifies laundry. A cotton shirt washed in a hotel basin stays damp for forty-eight hours. Merino wool dries exceptionally fast. Rinse it at night, hang it up and wear it by breakfast. This speed allows you to pack significantly less. It turns a small rucksack into a functional week-long wardrobe.
