merino tee 150
The 150 g/m² merino tee that carries the whole system. Wear it three ways.
three places, three grades
a grade with no reason is not a grade
- hikingsuitable
- Flatlock shoulder seams fall outside the strap line of a 30 L pack, and merino keeps its handle after a full day of sweat.
- cyclingsuitable
- Back hem sits 3 cm below the standing hem, so it stays tucked in a forward lean. No rear pocket — carry in a bag or a jersey worn over it.
- commutingsuitable
- Plain crew neck with no branding on the outside, so it reads as a normal tee once the shell comes off.
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.

the piece
A plain-knit merino tee at 150 g/m², cut close enough to sit under a fleece without bunching and plain enough to keep on at a desk. Flatlock shoulder seams sit outside a pack strap line. This is the piece the rest of the range is built around.
what it does, and where it stops
how we test- fabric weight
- 150 g/m²
- garment weight
- 158 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.
- Plain knit, 17.5 micron merino — the fineness that stops the itch, stated because it is the number that matters
- Flatlock seams throughout, shoulder seam offset 2 cm forward
- Hem back-drop 3 cm for a forward riding position
- No finish applied to the fabric: nothing to wash out, nothing to renew

Garment measurements in centimetres, taken flat. Tolerance ±1 cm — a run of fabric is never exact, and we would rather print the tolerance than pretend it away.
the same garment, in a riding position
| size | back coverage, riding | sleeve, arms forward |
|---|---|---|
| EU 46 | 67 cm | 20 cm |
| EU 48 | 69 cm | 22 cm |
| EU 50 | 71 cm | 24 cm |
| EU 52 | 73 cm | 26 cm |
| EU 54 | 75 cm | 28 cm |
Measured on a mannequin held at a 35° forward lean. A forward lean lifts the back hem and pulls the sleeve back from the wrist, so these figures are lower than the standing ones — that is the effect, stated rather than hidden.
