I've spent years testing travel gear and clothing, and when it comes to travel-friendly fabrics, few compare to merino wool. It's odor-resistant, wrinkle-resistant, sweat-wicking, temperature-regulating, and—contrary to some assumptions—not itchy like other types of wool. While many are familiar with Smartwool's excellent products, I recently had the opportunity to test some remarkable offerings from smaller brands using Australian wool certified by The Woolmark Company. Here are some of my favorites: Minus33: I tested their base layers, and they’re super soft, warm, and—after two months of wear—still look like new. Discount Code: Use code "JessieB" for 10% off Minus33. ONDO: Jon refuses to wear any sock that isn't merino wool, and I get it—they're way less stinky. For a less sporty option, I’ve been loving ONDO’s no-slip socks. Great headbands too. Discount Code: Use code "JESSIEB15" for 15% off ONDO. Woolly: This Seattle-based brand has been on my radar for a while. I've been wearing their white cami non-stop; while the white is slightly see-through, I'd feel comfortable wearing a darker color on its own.
