Knitted Fine Wool Zip Through Jacket
Our heavyweight (335g) merino hooded zipped jumper takes its name from Helios, Greek god of the sun. Made from pure Italian merino, we headed to Italy's oldest mills to source the finest yarns.
With long sleeves and two functional front pockets, we added armhole perforations to optimise the merino's thermo-regulating, moisture-wicking properties and thumbholes for comfort on colder days.
Designed to fit the pace of modern living, this breathable layer is ideal for crisp early morning runs or a comfortable base to wear heading to the gym after work. Pair with our men’s long sleeve merino training top for a complete look.

The benefits of merino
Merino wool is a sustainable fabric choice for eco-conscious consumers shopping for activewear. Made from the wool of merino sheep it is both renewable and bio-degradable, and thanks to its natural properties it has a range of benefits which include
Carbon-neutral, biodegradable and sustainable
Thermoregulating, wicking and comfortable to wear straight to skin
Lightweight and insulating protecting you from windchill
Crease-resistant fabric which holds its colour and shape
Does not require intensive washing as natural good bacteria help to self-clean wool
Wash care
Thanks to its antimicrobial properties which make it resistant to odour-producing bacteria, your merino activewear will not need to be washed as regularly. We recommend only washing when necessary, and spot cleaning any stains. You can refresh your garment between washes by gently steaming it or a quick hand wash in the sink with cool water.
Hand wash* with gentle detergent, wool, or baby shampoo
Lay flat to dry on a towel
Apply a gentle iron with a slow steam
Do not tumble dry
*Why we use hand wash only merino wool
Machine-washable merino wool is treated with a heat-resistant plastic, which cracks as it is washed and tumble dried. Aggressive washing damages merino, causing the wool to pill more, lose its shape and appear worn quicker than caring for hand wash only fibres.
Overall, choosing hand wash only merino wool means items last longer and they’re more environmentally friendly.
