Merino. Merino. Merino. We can't say it enough. If you are too cold or too hot when you're skiing or riding, you are not wearing the right base layers. Merino keeps your skin dry if you start to sweat and acts as your first thermal layer. The Cascade line from Mons Royale gives you 180g of Merino blended protection next to your skin. We love 3/4 length leggings because there is no longer that akward need to roll up or suffer bunching of your leggings in your boots.
