Smartwool launches its riding collection for 2022
Since the mid-90s, Smartwool has crafted performance wear for outdoor enthusiasts using merino wool at the core of its construction. From what started as performance socks, has grown into a multi-discipline brand catering for walkers, hikers and skiers alike. New for 2022, Smartwool reveals its mountain bike collection. So let's have a little peek at what's on offer.

Zero Cushion Mountain Print Crew Socks
Starting off with their flagship product, Smartwool's MTB crew socks offer a 4-degree Elite fit with flex points for a dialled-in fit and vented mesh fabric for breathability. The socks use Indestructawool™ technology for enhanced durability and are finished with a 7" cuff. There are options for both men and women, with the women's fit being slightly narrower at the heel.
Sport Ultralite Mountain Bike
This merino jersey is ultra-light with a comfortable raglan sleeve, dropped rear hem for coverage, and breathable performance fabric that works with you. Merino wool has natural capabilities to help wick away moisture from the skin while keeping odour at bay, so you feel fresher for longer. Available in several colourways, this tech jersey is available in both a men's and women's fit.
Sport shorts
These merino sports shorts strike the ideal balance for those rides where you want to feel good on the bike and look good post-ride. Featuring stretchy panels for unrestricted movement, a soft merino finish against the skin and drawcord adjustability, these shorts are designed with riding in mind. There are several pockets for stashing away your essentials, and the elastic waistband ensures a snug fit. Once again, there are a couple of neutral colourways to choose from and shapes to suit men and women.

Merino hoodie
To finish off the collection, Smartwool has created a merino and polyester blend hoodie. Offering temperature regulation, moisture management, odour control, breathability, and quick dry times, it's ideal for even spins and chilled bike adventures. Available in sizes from small to xx.large, men can choose from black or grey colourways. And for women, there's pink and navy on offer in sizes x.small to x.large.
