Vancouver-based apparel brand DUER recently released two performance-focused merino winter accessories, available in a few timeless color options. Both are launched as part of the brand's holiday collection.
The Performance Merino Rib Knit Toque "is a winter staple that combines stretch with shape retention." This unisex silhouette is luxuriously soft and comfortable. The second of DUER's merino winter accessories is the Performance Merino Scarf. Of course, both products also reap the benefits of merino wool which has gained a lot of popularity in the last couple of years. The fabric is naturally temperature regulating, breathable, and non-itchy.
The stylish scarf and the sporty toque pair easily, making for an effortless (and warm) outdoor winter look.
