Mons Royale Mountain Biking Clothes
The Mons Royale clothing range is designed to be versatile and stylish so you can wear them on the dirt tracks but also for everyday wear too
"We design garments that people love to wear everyday, not just the days they're on the hill. Garments that work as well on the mountain as they look good on the street. We do this with merino wool because its way better than any other fabric - it is super soft, warm (even when wet), ultra breathable, helps to regulate your temperature and doesn't stink!" - Hannah Aubrey, Mons Royale Creative Director
Merino wool clothing is perfect for mountain biking because:
Temperature Regulating
Merino is an active fibre which takes in factors such as the wearer's body temperature and external conditions. In cold conditions your merino thermals will keep you warm and in warm conditions they will keep you cool
Moisture Resistant
Merino wicks moisture away from the skin and into the atmosphere meaning you'll be kept drier for longer. Merino can absorb up to 35% of its own weight before feeling wet!
Odour Resistant
The lanolin in merino wool prevents mildew and bacteria from building up on your clothing and any odour molecules are absorbed into the merino fibre stopping the build up on unpleasant odours. Great for if you're going from biking to the pub!
UV Resistant
Merino wool has a UV factor of between 30 and 50 UVP because the fibres absorb UV radiation throughout the entire UV spectrum, adding a layer of protection against harmful rays
Long Lasting
Although merino wool clothing tends to be more expensive than synthetic fibres it will last a lot longer meaning you won't have to repurchase every few months. Merino wool fibres can bend over 20,000 times without breaking so won't lose shape or get holes
Soft and Comfortable
Merino wool is super soft against the skin and unlike traditional wool it doesn't irritate or itch the skin. The merino fibres are so fine that when they come into contact with the skin they bend. Merino is also hypoallergenic meaning it's great for people with eczema and allergies
