Merino Shirts for Men & Women – CloudBlend vs. Essential
BERGMENSCH merino shirts combine natural function with European manufacturing. Our fibers are particularly fine (16.5–18.5 µm) and therefore soft on the skin. CloudBlend relies on a blend of merino, TENCEL™ Lyocell, and elastane (160 g/m²) – this ensures a silky-cool feel and fast drying.
Essential consists of 85% Merino, 15% Polyamide and weighs 130 g/m² – durable for everyday use. Both lines are breathable, temperature-regulating and remain odor-neutral for a long time – ideal for hiking, travel and as a base layer. Our wool is 100% mulesing-free.
