- very good wearing comfort
- high moisture absorption
The tight-fitting Salewa Zebru Fresh is perfect as a vest to wear other layers over, but it also works well "solo". Thanks to the material mix, it dries faster than pure wool pieces.
Natural Moisture Management
Inspired by and named after Monte Zebrù in the Ortler Alps and made in Italy, our Zebru Fresh Bodymapping base layers are primarily composed of super-fine merino wool, blended with durable Tencel™ Lyocell derived from sustainably sourced wood. The merino wool provides optimal heat regulation and a soft, skin-friendly wearing comfort, while Lyocell offers additional moisture absorption and freshness, making this T-shirt ideal for mountaineering and climbing.
Enhanced Thermoregulation
Additionally, this base layer features smart synthetic polyamide threads enriched with a unique blend of natural, thermoreactive minerals. These responsive yarns can absorb far infrared energy (FIR) from the body and gradually release it back to the muscle tissue over time. The resulting increased blood circulation, cell performance, and oxygen supply lead to more effective thermoregulation, better performance, and faster recovery. Responsive is an integral part of the fabric and does not wash out.
The long-sleeved women's version of this base layer has a close-fitting, sporty cut and an attractive jacquard knit that stretches well even without elastane. The polyamide content also makes it more durable and shape-retaining. An advanced circular knitting process creates a seamless, one-piece top without side seams, ensuring smooth comfort. And thanks to the high proportion of merino wool, the Zebru base layer naturally combats odor formation.
A fine, lightweight merino base layer that keeps you fresh in changeable weather.
