If you’re assembling a bag for your upcoming trip – no matter the destination – consider the full-cover advantage of Men’s Long Sleeve Merino tops.

The Benefits of Merino Wool

Merino wool’s story starts thousands of years ago with the domestication of sheep. We won’t bore you with the details, but these domesticated animals were bred and designed for their lanolin-coated wool – an effective tool against cold climates, moisture, and bacteria. Merino sheep are the pinnacle of that evolution, producing wool that’s soft, versatile, sweat-wicking, and antibacterial.

Unbound Merino’s Merino Wool products use superfine Merino for an even more impressive end result. (You could say that we’re the pinnacle of the pinnacle). What does that mean for you, the traveler? You’re getting the best Long Sleeve that nature can produce, a precise piece of ultra-light travel gear honed over millennia.

Long Sleeves Are a Versatile Option for Any Trip or Occasion

Our Men’s Long Sleeve Merino tops rise to just about any occasion. In cold weather, these long sleeve travel shirts form an effective base layer underneath brawny coats or jackets. In hot weather, you can roll the sleeves (and show off those forearms) for a breezy look that fits right in at the beach.

But Long Sleeves really shine in those in-between climates. Dressing for 60-70 F degree weather (15 to 21 C) is never easy. It’s too warm for a t-shirt and coat combo, too cold for merino wool t shirts alone. Our men’s Merino wool long sleeve t-shirts thrive in these transitional climates, providing extra protection without going overboard. If you’re packing for a spring or fall trip, these will be the all-stars in your clothing rotation.

They’re versatile beyond their function too. You can dress our Men’s Merino wool Long Sleeve shirt up for a classy dinner in London. You can dress them down for a streetwear look in Tokyo. You can fit in with a hiking group or a pub crawl, a business lunch, or beach volleyball. Take your pick: Unbound Merino Long Sleeves do it all.

A Guide to Our Long Sleeves

Depending on the weight, fit, and the look you’re after, you can choose from several Long Sleeve options.

Our Long Sleeve Merino Crew is the basic workhorse, an effective shirt that looks good with anything. Its cousin, the Waffle Crew, adds a little muscle in the form of a finely knit “honeycomb” look (while also accentuating your muscles). Our Ultralight Packable Hoodie is the minimalist’s take on a classic, mixing streetwear sensibility with an airy charm – ideal on its own in transitional seasons, or worn underneath a simple jacket in winter. And the Men’s Merino Cardigan rounds out our collection of men's tops with a highly functional take on the semi-casual classic.
