Mons Royale Women's Clothing

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Mons Royale merino different from regular wool for women's activewear?

  Merino fibres are superfine and flexible, delivering soft, next-to-skin comfort with excellent temperature regulation in both warm and cool conditions. The fibre naturally wicks moisture, resists bacterial growth for reduced odour, and when blended with recycled polyester or nylon it gains durability and faster drying without losing breathability.
• How do I choose between the Tarn Tee, Redwood Jersey, and Cascade pieces for trail running versus mountain biking?

  The Tarn Tee is lightweight with mesh panels and a hidden sunglass wipe, making it ideal for high-output trail running and hot-weather rides. The Redwood Jersey offers a standard, figure-slimming fit with merino mesh side panels for balanced everyday trail use, while Cascade pieces use Merino Flex (4-way stretch) for greater mobility and layered technical mountain biking.
• How should I size Mons Royale baselayers and pants like the Virage if I plan to wear pads or layer?

  Mons Royale comes in slim, standard, and semi-relaxed fits—Virage pants are a slim, articulated design intended to sit well with knee pads, whereas baselayers such as the 190gsm Yotei are designed to be worn closer to the skin. Because many styles use 2‑ to 4‑way stretch, pick your usual size for snug layers and consider one size up if you need extra room for heavy layering or bulky protective gear.
• How do Merino Flex, Stretch Wool Cordura, and recycled merino blends affect durability and movement?

  Merino Flex delivers true 4‑way stretch for freedom of movement and fast recovery, which is great for dynamic activities. Stretch Wool Cordura blends add abrasion resistance in high‑wear areas for longer life on the bike or trail, and recycled polyester/nylon blends boost tensile strength and drying speed while preserving merino’s temperature control and anti‑odour properties.
• What is the best way to care for merino pieces like the 190gsm Yotei or Tarn Tee to maintain performance and sustainability?

  Wash merino garments on a gentle cycle in cold water or hand wash with a wool‑safe detergent, avoid fabric softeners and chlorine bleach, then reshape and dry flat or hang to dry to protect fibre loft; occasional low‑heat tumble drying may be used sparingly but can shorten garment life. Following the garment care label and storing items clean and dry helps preserve performance and the material’s natural biodegradability.
