merino boxer
170 g/m² merino boxer with flat seams where a saddle sits.
three places, three grades
a grade with no reason is not a grade
- hikingsuitable
- Seams routed away from the inner thigh where a full day of walking creates friction.
- cyclingusable
- Flat seams help, but there is no padding — for a commute of under an hour rather than a long ride.
- commutingsuitable
- Merino handles a warm office after a ride better than cotton does.
Cycling grades account for back hem length, sleeve length with your arms forward on the bars, and whether there is a rear pocket you can reach. Rear pocket on this piece: no.

what it does, and where it stops
how we test- fabric weight
- 170 g/m²
- garment weight
- 96 g in EU 50 / M
- water repellency
- None. No repellent finish on this fabric.
- hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811)
- Not published.
- breathability (EN ISO 11092)
- Not published.
No water-repellent finish. This fabric soaks through in rain and is meant to be worn under a shell.
Not measured. This garment is water-repellent only, so no hydrostatic figure is published for it.
Not yet measured. No breathability figure is published and no breathability claim is made until it is measured to this standard.
- Seams moved 4 cm outward from the saddle contact zone
- Covered waistband, no exposed elastic edge
