<h2>Merino Wool vs traditional wool &amp; synthetic fabric...</h2>
<h4>Traditional wool</h4>
<p>Once everyone wore traditional wool outdoors. It was warm of course, but it was also heavy, bulky, took forever to dry and it itched like crazy!</p>

</div>
<p>In the 1970s everyone started wearing synthetics fabrics. They had the advantage of being lightweight, easy care and non-itch, but the disadvantage of feeling wet and clammy to touch, sweaty and smelly, and as they were petroleum-based, highly flammable!</p>

</div>
<p>Finally, a performance solution with none of the downsides! Merino is super lightweight, soft, non-itchy, non-clammy, warm in the cold and cool in the heat, and has a miraculous ability to resist odor. Because it was made in the mountains rather than in a petrochemical laboratory. It's naturally renewable, recyclable and biodegradable.</p>

<p>As a small, family-owned business based in Mammoth Lakes, California, our family&rsquo;s connection to the outdoors is woven through everything we make and do. Before starting Ridge in 2014, one of our co-founders led design and development at a major ski brand, where he noticed the pros preferred Merino wool to synthetic layers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We got the idea to make pro-level Merino apparel accessible to everyone who loves to get after it. And just like that we were off on a new adventure.</p>
<p><br />Today, we test our soft, breathable Merino wool layers right here on the East Side of the Sierra, where the high desert meets deep snow and 14,000-foot peaks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We ski off ridges, run through rainstorms and camp out on cold desert nights to be sure our clothing will keep you comfortable even in the most uncomfortable conditions. And that it still looks (and smells) good enough to wear to work on Monday.</p>

<p>Best merino wool socks in the world. That&rsquo;s pretty much the deal. They come with a lifetime warranty that they stand behind with no questions asked. You can just send back the socks to them, and they&rsquo;ll replace them free of charge, which is an unheard-of guarantee.</p>
