A solid merino wool base layer is one of those essentials that I have with me on every trek. The Pinewood Merino T-Shirt caught my eye as a great piece designed for adventure. It promised heat regulation, breathability, and durability, so we took it on two separate hikes—the Lee Trail in Luxembourg and the GR121 in the Basque Country—to see how it performed.
Pinewood is a Swedish brand, making high quality clothing for hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts. It’s very well known in the Nordics, in other countries it’s an upcoming brand and getting more loved by the hiking community each year. Truly worth it to try some of their gear out and test it on the trails!
