Adaptable Merino Shirts

The Planet Earth T-Shirt Traps and Releases Heat as Needed for Comfort

— May 2, 2020 — Fashion
Vollebak is known for making articles of clothing out of some of the toughest materials on the planet and its Granite edition Planet Earth T-Shirt is a merino shirt that's suited for a wide range of environments. The t-shirt boasts a highly adaptable design thanks to Merino, since its fibers respond accordingly to the surrounding conditions—either by trapping or releasing heat as needed to optimize comfort. As Merino sheep are capable of surviving both hot summers and freezing winter conditions, the ultra-fine, responsibly sourced Merino fibers used for the shirt offer the same adaptable benefits.

The shirt is naturally breathable, odor-resistant and highly elastic and can be worn on its own or layered with other pieces from the Planet Earth Merino system for ultra-comfortable protection.
