Accepted answer

Merino wool is the wool from a merino sheep and known for its high quality wool.

In fact the wool has some special characteristics: - It has antibacertial properties resulting in reduced body odor. I have a couple of merino wool shirts and yes - I can wear them multiple days without problems.

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio

  • It retains warmth when wet

  • It draws sweat away from the body
  • It is very soft

However, it is quite expensive and not every wool from a merino sheep is high quality wool (different sheep strains can be bred for meat or wool - but they are not ideal for all purposes at the same time)
