100% MERINO WOOL LAYERS
Some 10 years ago, the premise and mission behind everything we do here - American made Merino Wool layers and clothing starting with the finest Merino Wool - was born on a local ski hill nestled in the Pioneer Mountains just west of our ranch. Some people might assume Montana ranchers don’t do much outside of working their land. To an extent, those people would be right - ranching is a day-in and day-out business. But there are those moments when all is right and calm on the land and within our immense bands of Merino Wool sheep; in those moments, our ranchers and founders - The Helle family - go full bore playing in the beautiful and pristine lands that serve as a backdrop to their daily lives. For The Helles, no recreation tops throwing on the skis and taking a few laps on that very same local ski hill, Maverick, which incidentally serves as the crucible for the idea behind our proud USA made Merino Wool clothing brand. Our Maverick line, a 160 grams per square meter 100% Merino Wool base layer line, was named to honor the genesis of our mission, and is available in classic first layer offerings like crews, quarter zips leggings, balaclavas and gaiters. Heat trapping, soft, sweat wicking, pure, odor free AND American made, this is truly a maverick in the world of Merino Wool gear.
HOW TO LAYER MERINO
Layering our American made 100% Merino Wool Maverick line is simple: designed to serve as a first layer, simply toss on the Maverick for a next-to-skin soft feel and then layer over it with a worthy Merino Wool insulating layer, Merino Wool fleece, our Merino Wool jacket depending on your personal preferences and weather conditions demands.
