Yes, merino wool naturally resists odor and makes the Hueco Full-Zip suited for high-output activities and extended outdoor excursions.
Follow the care and content instructions, use a gentle wool detergent, and either lay flat or hang to dry. DO NOT dry clean or use harsh detergents, as it can strip merino fibers of their natural lanolin, which keeps the fabrics soft.
Both styles are constructed with Nuyarn® Merino Technology, but they were designed for different use cases. The Hueco Full-Zip is more durable and made for colder conditions, while the Caprock Half-Zip is a lightweight layer for all-season use.
You can wear it either way. The Hueco Merino Full-Zip provides enough warmth to be worn on its own in cool conditions or as an insulating layer under a shell when temps drop.

It’s a twist-free spinning technology resulting in high-performance wool that acts as closely as possible to the way it does in nature.
Merino wool is one of nature's most versatile performance materials. It feels soft against the skin while helping regulate temperature, keeping you warm in cold conditions and comfortable in warmer weather. Merino wool also naturally wicks moisture, insulates when wet, helps resist odor, and is biodegradable.
Most merino wool fabrics are made from natural materials like cotton or merino through an ancient process called ring spinning, which uses a spool or a spinning wheel or machine to take short lengths of fiber and twist them together to make the longer yarns necessary to knit or weave into a fabric. When yarns are spun tightly, they lose many of their natural benefits and a lot of their natural durability qualities. Nuyarn® Merino Technology is an entirely new method of creating yarns and fabrics from natural merino wool. It’s not a single type of yarn or fabric, but an innovative technology that produces a high-performance material.
Compared to traditional merino wool, it dries faster, offers greater durability, provides more stretch and freedom of movement, and provides bulk-free warmth. It also manages moisture, resists odor, and offers everyday comfort.
It is a protected technology that is only available to select brands.
