Rapha already uses merino wool in its other cycling apparel, but has now taken the natural fibre and blended it with synthetic to create the durability needed on trails. Merino wool is known for its sweat-wicking, odour resistance and thermal regulation properties, which makes it great for comfortable riding - day after day.
All of the garments in the Trail Merino collection come with iron-on-patches so you can fix your top in case of a crash.
Let’s take a closer look at the four Trail Merino pieces.
Trail Merino Short and Long Sleeve T-Shirt

These two shirts, available in short and long-sleeved styles, are made of the proprietary merino/nylon blend and have a polyester accent stripe on the sleeve. Both are available in dark grey, pale green and dark blue.
Women's Trail Merino Tank
