This is because the fabric features a hydrophobic finish on the side against the skin to quickly wick away sweat and dry it, and a hydrophilic finish on the outer side to draw in moisture; fabric dyeing would prevent applying these different finishes to the front and back separately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn yarn dyeing, the yarn is divided into bobbins called “cones” for dyeing, which results in very slight color variations between batches. When these batches are knitted together, this may appear as horizontal variations in shade or color differences between individual items; however, this is a result of prioritizing the fabric’s moisture-wicking properties, and we ask that you view it as a natural characteristic of this fabric.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e■About Fabric Durability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDF Merino Mesh, with its textured, mesh-like surface, is designed in such a way that when worn on its own, friction from a backpack or similar items can easily cause the fabric to pill, develop holes, or fray.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWool naturally has short fibers, so it tends to shed when rubbed; compared to synthetic or cotton fabrics, it is a material that wears down relatively easily and is prone to developing holes. You need to be even more careful than with standard wool knit fabrics when moving through thick underbrush or rocky terrain, or when the fabric comes into contact with materials like heavy-duty mesh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you anticipate rough handling, we recommend not wearing this item on its own, but rather layering a shell or shirt over it (since it is highly breathable and allows air to pass through easily, a shell is also useful for protection against the cold).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e■About Dye Transfer on Fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease be aware that this product may cause color transfer if it rubs against white or light-colored shirts that are wet from sweat or rain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e■Long-Sleeve Shirt That Overcomes the Drawbacks of Wool\u003cbr\u003eDF Mesh Merino is a base layer series made from Yamato Michi’s original fabric, which effectively addresses the shortcomings of traditional 100% merino wool—such as slow drying, stickiness when wet, and heat retention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile retaining the unique benefits of wool—such as comfort, odor control, and moisture regulation—the double-layer (Double Face = DF) mesh structure wicks away sweat and dries quickly, preventing heat from building up; plus, when worn under a shell, it traps air within the fabric to keep you warm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA slim-fit, mesh long-sleeve shirt designed to keep sweat from pooling against the skin, making it ideal for high-intensity activities such as trail running and fast packing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・The neckline is made from the same DF Mesh Merino fabric as the body.\u003cbr\u003e・The raglan sleeves, which allow for easy arm movement, were sewn using a flat-seam sewing machine to create a flat seam.\u003cbr\u003e・The cuffs are reinforced with knit binding tape that resists stretching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e■Features and Design\u003cbr\u003e・Doesn't trap heat\u003cbr\u003eCompared to traditional merino wool, DF Mesh Merino features a mesh structure that provides exceptional breathability; even during activities like hiking and running—where it tends to get hot and stuffy—it allows air to circulate and effectively dissipates heat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・Non-sticky\u003cbr\u003eDF Mesh Merino is knitted with 100% merino wool yarn on the side that touches the skin, providing a soft and comfortable feel, while its mesh structure—which makes contact with the skin at specific points—helps alleviate discomfort when wet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, the side against the skin features a hydrophobic finish that repels water, while the outer surface has a hydrophilic finish that enhances moisture absorption. This two-layer (Double Face = DF) mesh structure quickly wicks moisture away from the skin, preventing stickiness caused by sweat and ensuring a comfortable fit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・Dries quickly\u003cbr\u003eDF Mesh Merino features a highly breathable mesh structure that addresses the issue of slow-drying fabric—a common problem with traditional merino wool—and makes it less likely to feel chilly from sweat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・Its role within the base layer\u003cbr\u003eGenerally speaking, quick-drying properties, moisture-wicking properties, cooling performance, and heat retention are mutually exclusive characteristics; when one is high, the other is low.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThanks to its unique two-layer mesh structure, DF Mesh Merino satisfies these seemingly contradictory properties at the same time, making it a viable wool-based option even in areas where synthetic base layers have traditionally been chosen for their quick-drying and cooling performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・Powerful natural deodorizing properties\u003cbr\u003eMerino wool is said to have a natural, highly effective deodorizing property that keeps it from smelling even after being worn for a week. While some synthetic fibers are also treated with deodorizing properties, Merino wool is overwhelmingly superior in actual performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany mysteries still surround this deodorizing mechanism; one theory suggests that wool absorbs an extremely large amount of odor-causing compounds, which are trapped within the fibers at a level undetectable by the human sense of smell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e■ Disadvantages of Wool\u003cbr\u003eWhile merino wool has excellent properties and features, it does, of course, have its drawbacks. Please be sure to understand both the pros and cons before wearing it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・It absorbs water and becomes heavier\u003cbr\u003eBecause it has a high moisture content and absorbs a lot of moisture into the fabric, it takes longer to dry than synthetic fibers. However, fibers with high quick-drying properties generate latent heat as moisture evaporates, which carries the risk of rapidly drawing heat away from the body. Additionally, in terms of quick-drying performance, synthetic fibers dry faster than cotton when the fabric thickness is the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・Prone to insect damage\u003cbr\u003eSoft animal fibers such as wool, cashmere, and silk are particularly attractive to clothing pests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・Prone to developing holes from friction\u003cbr\u003eBecause wool fibers are short, they tend to come loose when rubbed, causing the fabric to thin out and develop holes more easily than synthetic or cotton fabrics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・Prone to shrinking\u003cbr\u003eWool tends to shrink easily when washed, and even washable wool that has been treated to minimize shrinkage will still shrink to some extent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・Distortion is likely to occur due to skewing\u003cbr\u003eDue to the nature of knit fabrics, when washed, the fibers swell and exert a force that causes them to try to return in the opposite direction of the twist, which can cause the fabric to deform diagonally and result in distortion of the garment's shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e・It has that distinctive wooly smell\u003cbr\u003eDue to the nature of animal fibers, you may notice a distinctive odor when the fabric is damp—such as after the spin cycle during washing—but the odor will disappear once it dries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*This article was compiled based on interviews with textile processing companies and testing laboratories, as well as reference materials.\u003cbr\u003e*Reference: *The Structure and Physical Properties of Wool*, edited by the Japan Wool Industry Association, published by Seni-sha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e■Product Care\u003cbr\u003e・To prevent pilling or damage caused by contact with other laundry items, please wash this item separately or place it in a laundry net.\u003cbr\u003e・Since this material has a mesh structure that is prone to deformation and distortion, please shape the product properly before laying it flat to dry.\u003cbr\u003e・Hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties are not inherent characteristics of the material but are imparted through post-processing; their effectiveness may diminish over time with repeated washing.\u003cbr\u003e・Since this product is susceptible to insect damage, please store it using insect repellents, airtight bags, or other insect-proof measures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e■Material: DF Mesh Merino, 88% Merino Wool \/ 12% Nylon, 170–175 g\/m²\u003cbr\u003e■Weight: 145 g (Size XS), 165 g (Size S), 179 g (Size M), 191 g (Size L), 216 g (Size XL)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e■Size\/Actual Dimensions (cm)\u003cbr\u003e[XS] Length: 62, Body Width: 42, Hem Width: 37, Sleeve Length: 69, Cuff Width: 8.5\u003cbr\u003e[S] Length: 65.5, Body Width: 44, Hem Width: 39, Sleeve Length: 75, Cuff Width: 9\u003cbr\u003e[M] Length: 68.5, Body Width: 46.5, Hem Width: 41.5, Sleeve Length: 77.5, Cuff Width: 9.5\u003cbr\u003e[L] Length: 70.5, Body Width: 50.5, Hem Width: 45.5, Sleeve Length: 80.5, Cuff Width: 10\u003cbr\u003e[XL] Length: 72.5, Body Width: 54.5, Hem Width: 49.5, Sleeve Length: 83.5, Cuff Width: 10.5\u003cbr\u003e*Please note that actual measurements may differ from those listed due to fabric stretch, sewing tolerances, and other factors.\u003cbr\u003e*Please note that the fabric may shrink due to wear and washing, so the measurements may change over time.\u003cbr\u003e*From the manufacturer's website*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*Please note that since we are using manufacturer images, the product may differ slightly from the images in terms of specifications (such as logo placement, color, and pattern placement).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"山と道","offers":[{"title":"Off White \/ XS","offer_id":67581718528285,"sku":"rc_IT5MYP77YT1Y_T9oZ","price":16000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Off White \/ S","offer_id":67581718561053,"sku":"rc_IT5XSRUBM94I_9KDm","price":16000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Off White \/ M","offer_id":67581718593821,"sku":"rc_ITCRTS2OOMED_LLs8","price":16000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Off White \/ L","offer_id":67581718626589,"sku":"rc_ITMOK69WAS14_R3st","price":16000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Off White \/ XL","offer_id":67581718659357,"sku":"rc_IT6JSLOOPPGP_6EfY","price":16000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/4917\/0973\/files\/mi4AikBAVNUPBADQaxYk8rTZTirq92MR92SFOnXu.jpg?v=1790403346","url":"https:\/\/shop.moderateweb.com\/en\/products\/rc_it5myp77yt1y_t9oz","provider":"moderate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
