At last: a high-performance, long-sleeve merino baselayer that you can wear out and about without anyone noticing it’s a baselayer. Unlike most merino tees which are so tight-fitting that passers-by can count your vertebrae, the Icon Tee from Kiwi brand Mons Royale feels and fits like an actual t-shirt – albeit a super-comfy and breathable t-shirt that’ll go all day on the trail and still look (and smell) good enough to wear for a bottle of something cold at the end of it. It’s made in Mons’s ‘Merino Air-Con’ fabric that blends all the best properties of merino wool fibres with a durable nylon core.

Flashy technical outerwear is all well and good, but the foundation for all-day comfort in the great outdoors is a solid baselayer. Unfortunately, most are tight-fitting and uninspired, made from flimsy fabrics that look like Swiss cheese after a week or two on the trail.
Enter New Zealand-based brand, Mons Royale, born out of the Kiwi snow sports scene in the mountains above Lake Wanaka. Making merino base layers, jerseys and sweaters is what they do – and it really shows.
Just about everything in the Mons range is built around ethically and sustainably produced merino wool – a fibre with so many miracle properties that only Mother Nature could have come up with it. But it’s Mons Royale’s more relaxed approach to design that really makes them stand out. Constructed for comfort and flexibility, their base layers fit like your favourite T-shirt, rather than feeling as if they’ve been sprayed on.
We love Mons Royale because it’s technical stuff that looks good enough to wear every day. The cuts are casual, the pastel colours are cool but muted, and the branding isn’t too full-on. Take your Mons kit out for a day on the mountain, then stick the bike or climbing gear back in the van, switch the shorts for a clean pair of jeans and you’re all set to go for a post-adventure beer.
