Women's Merino Lightweight 3D-Zone Intensa Longsleeve

One of the key items in the Intensa collection and a link between running, urban outdoor and outdoor is clothing made from merino wool, which, thanks to its properties, is ideal for any form of activity as well as everyday city wear.

An experienced runner, ski tourer or climber knows the value of a base layer, the so-called first layer. The more versatile it is and the better it performs in different conditions, the better.

Longsleeve Merino Lightweight 3D-Zone Intensa helps regulate body temperature regardless of the weather. Thanks to the use of merino wool fibres and polyester fibres, this women’stop will keep you warm on freezing days, quickly wick away excess moisture and dry quickly during spring and autumn training sessions.

A few words about how merino fibres work and why they are so special. The wool fibres are soft and very thin, which gives them the ability to crimp tightly. The crimping of the fibres creates a huge number of small air pockets in which air is trapped, and as we know, air is an excellent heat insulator. In this way, we use our own energy and keep warm with the heat produced by our body. Besides maintaining a comfortable temperature when needed (keeping you warm), on warm days this women’stop wicks away excess moisture (in the form of vapour). Clothing made from merino wool fibres retains warmth even when damp. Thanks to these properties, in merino wool clothing you do not feel unpleasant chill both during intense effort and after a short stop, e.g. when you put a backpack on sweaty back or start moving again after a pause.

Polyester fibres are technical fibres responsible for breathability and quick drying. They also increase the durability of wool fibres and prevent them from losing shape.

Merino wool and polyester fibres have been woven in such a way as to create small three-dimensional squares, between which channels are formed to facilitate sweat evaporation and increase air microcirculation.

The low fabric weight of the Longsleeve Merino Lightweight 3D-Zone Intensatop – 162g/m2 allows it to be used primarily as a first layer (directly on the body). On the body side, the top features a 3D structure. However, it is also suitable as the main layer for training in spring or autumn, or in summer on cooler days.

The top is very lightweight and gently stretchy, and the wool fibres make it very pleasant to the touch and against the skin. This makes the top very comfortable and versatile.

A classic cut with raglan sleeves guarantees that the women’stop fits any body shape (with less or more developed shoulders). The extended back protects the lower back from the cold.
