Smartwool Elevates Adventure-Ready Fall 2017 Apparel

May 5, 2017

Versatile and stylish performance-based layers feature new fits and designs

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (May 5, 2017) — Smartwool announces the launch of its Fall 2017 apparel line with smarter, more capable designs that transition seamlessly from season to season and activity to activity.

This apparel line transcends its seasonal box with designs that flow from fall into winter and spring effortlessly. Designed for unpredictable weather and spontaneous daily schedules, Smartwool performance-based, comfort-first designs fit the consumer who lives life on the go—running from the train to the bus, venturing out on a lunchtime hike, chasing kids around after work, or skinning up the mountain in moonlight.

The Fall 2017 line provides:

Exceptional temperature regulation and breathability thanks to premium Merino wool next-to-skin
Wear more, wash less courtesy of naturally antimicrobial fibers
Engineered designs that work with other Smartwool® layers as a system
Packable, travel-ready designs that offer effortless wrinkle resistance

“The pace of our lives has never been faster and consumers simply don’t have the time to change clothes every time their life throws them a curveball,” said Sue Jesch, Smartwool design director. “From technological innovations and product development to real-life, real-people product testing and premium finishing touches, this line highlights thoughtful design that enables consumers to be more comfortable—whether they are doing what they love or what simply needs to get done.”

Highlights of the Smartwool^Ò Fall 2017 line include:

Merino 250

Buttery soft with an interlock jersey knit, the Merino 250 fabric is 100-percent Merino wool. This updated baselayer line also offers two new silhouettes to fit every body: Slim Fit (traditional baselayer fit) and Regular Fit (a more relaxed, everyday style).
