Features & details

Two open pockets and a secure zip pocket keep essentials close, while the merino liner naturally regulates temperature and resists odor.

Fabric & Care

The merino is spun at 17.5 microns, a fineness reserved for the rarest grades of the fibre, prized for its softness against the skin . The shell is knitted from organic cotton, certified to GOTS standard, and finished only with dyes compliant to OEKO-TEX.

Wash cold. Hang Dry. Never tumble. Treated kindly, it will last.

Your Order Supports Farmers

Nero stands with farmers. While the big sportswear giants fuel plastic factories, we choose to work with those who raise sheep, grow cotton, and keep real fabrics alive.

Every order is a step toward a future where natural wins over synthetic, and where farmers, not oil companies, get supported.

Designer Notes

  • Dual-Layer Engineering

    Two fabrics, two jobs. A 100% organic cotton shell handles the outside, lightweight breathable, built to age well. A 100% merino liner sits next to skin, where it regulates temperature and resists odour. No synthetics, anywhere.

  • Why 17.5 Microns

    Merino is measured in microns, the lower the number, the finer the fibre. At 17.5, we're in ultrafine territory: smooth enough next to skin to skip the itch, fine enough to wear back-to-back without the stink.

  • Built for More

    Designed to live beyond the workout. A zip pocket keeps your phone and keys secure on the move, and a 100% cotton drawcord finishes the waistband, no synthetic feel. Wear it to train, then keep it on.

About Our Wool

The wool comes from flocks raised to the highest welfare and land standards in the world, on farms certified by RWS and ZQ. Every fibre is traceable, from the pasture it grew on to the garment you wear.

Woolmark certified, which guarantees fibre content, performance, colour fastness, and dimensional stability at the highest level the industry recognises.

Spun in ultra-fine qualities between 15.5 and 18.5 microns, finer than human hair, and among the rarest merino commercially available.

Engineered and tested to withstand the demands of training, travel, and continual wear. Built to soften, not wear out.

Produced in mills held to Made in Green OEKO-TEX and WRAP standards, environmentally sound, socially responsible, and free from harmful substances.
