Why a WoodWool Merino T-shirt?
A good performance shirt shouldn't just feel comfortable the first time you put it on. It should also perform well as the day progresses.
When hiking, you warm up on the ascent, and your body cools down again during breaks. When traveling, you might want to wear your shirt for several hours without wanting to change immediately. And in everyday life, you certainly don't want it to look like pure sportswear.
WoodWool was developed precisely for this blend of function, comfort and everyday usability .
- Climate balancing: Merino wool helps maintain a comfortable body climate in changing temperatures.
- Moisture-regulating: Wool can absorb moisture and release it back into the environment.
- Odor-inhibiting: The properties of wool can help reduce the formation of unpleasant odors.
- Pleasantly soft: Lyocell ensures a smooth, soft feel on the skin.
- Breathable: The material is suitable for movement and active days.
- Versatile: Suitable for hiking, trekking, cycling, bikepacking, travel, camping and everyday use.
The result is a merino functional shirt that you won't just want to wear on the mountain.
50% Merino wool + 50% Lyocell: What makes WoodWool special?
WoodWool combines two fibers with different thicknesses.
Merino wool for a balanced body climate
Merino wool is particularly valued in outdoor clothing for its temperature and moisture-regulating properties.
Wool can absorb moisture, thus supporting a more balanced microclimate between skin and clothing.
Additionally, wool has odor-resistant properties. This is particularly practical on longer tours or trips, because a shirt doesn't automatically need to be washed after every wear.
Lyocell wood fibers for a soft feel
The other half of the WoodWool material consists of Lyocell . This is an industrially produced cellulose fiber made from wood.
Lyocell provides a particularly soft and smooth feel , thus complementing the properties of merino wool.
Especially with a T-shirt that lies directly on the skin for many hours, this makes a noticeable difference.
Why does Grüezi bag® combine merino wool and lyocell?
Merino wool already possesses many functional properties. WoodWool deliberately complements it with lyocell to create a particularly pleasant feel against the skin and a versatile functional material.
WoodWool does not replace Merino
The idea is rather to combine the strengths of merino wool with the properties of a wood-based cellulose fiber.
This means for you
A soft, functional shirt that performs well during movement while remaining comfortable enough for travel and everyday wear.

Merino T-shirt for hiking and trekking
When hiking, a shirt has to cope with constantly changing conditions.
During ascent, body temperature rises; during a break, the strain decreases, and wind or shade can quickly change the perception of heat.
The merino wool in the WoodWool T-shirt absorbs moisture and helps regulate temperature. This makes the shirt particularly suitable for active tours.
For day hikes
A WoodWool T-shirt is a simple first layer of clothing for warm or mild days.
It can be worn directly on the skin and combined with an additional layer depending on the weather.
For trekking and multi-day tours
Those who are traveling for several days want to carry as little unnecessary change of clothes as possible.
The odor-reducing properties of wool are particularly useful here. Often, simply airing the shirt out well after the hike is enough.
For bikepacking and cycling tours
When cycling, exertion, wind chill, and temperature change rapidly. A breathable and temperature-regulating shirt is therefore particularly comfortable.
Several WoodWool models also feature cuts and details designed for movement.
WoodWool T-shirts for travel and light luggage
A good travel shirt must be one thing above all: uncomplicated.
A morning stroll through the city, an afternoon hike, and an evening meal – ideally without having to pull a new top out of your backpack for every situation.
The WoodWool T-shirts combine functional material properties with a look that deliberately does not just look like sportswear.
Therefore, they are particularly suitable for:
- road trips
- Vanlife
- Campsite
- Train travel
- Traveling with light luggage
- bikepacking
- Hut tours
- City trips
- Daily life
Having a shirt that works for as many situations as possible can mean: less change of clothes, less luggage, and less thinking about what to wear today.

What does a WoodWool T-shirt feel like?
A functional shirt can be technically excellent – if you don't like wearing it against your skin, it will eventually stay in the closet.
That's precisely why the feel of the garment plays a central role at WoodWool.
The fine merino wool and high lyocell content create a soft and smooth surface . Many styles are designed to be worn directly against the skin.
The current WoodWool T-shirts use particularly fine merino wool with a specified fiber thickness of 19,5 microns.
However, how soft wool is perceived to be varies from person to person.
Wash less, ventilate more often
One practical advantage of wool clothing: it doesn't automatically need to go in the washing machine after every wear.
After normal use, it is often sufficient to simply air out your WoodWool T-shirt.
This is especially convenient when traveling or on multi-day tours.
How to properly wash WoodWool T-shirts
- at 30°C in the wool wash cycle to wash
- Wool detergent without protease use
- Select a low spin speed
- Use a laundry bag if possible.
- Do not wash with open zippers, Velcro fasteners or hooks.
- Do not wring out
- Do not put in the tumble dryer
Drying WoodWool properly
Carefully pull the damp shirt into shape and let it air dry lying flat.
Why wet wool should be handled carefully
Wool fibers that are very wet are more sensitive to mechanical friction.
Therefore, when wearing a soaking wet shirt, you should pay particular attention to chafing backpack straps, belt buckles, Velcro fasteners and other rough contact points.
Which WoodWool T-shirt suits me?
Ultimately, the best T-shirt is the one you enjoy wearing.
Therefore, choose your WoodWool shirt according to fit, size, color, design and intended use.
For longer hikes, models with a backpack-friendly design might be a good choice. For travel and everyday use, design might play a bigger role. And those who travel in a variety of situations might opt for more than one style.
The common idea always remains the same: a shirt that is functional enough for the outdoors and comfortable enough that you would wear it even when there isn't a summit on the agenda for the day.
