The Behind The Pines Comfort Layer Merino Sweater 260 Black is engineered as a premium mid-layer for cold mountain days, travel and everyday winter wear. Made from 100 percent RWS certified merino wool in a substantial 260 gsm knit, it offers advanced insulation with natural thermoregulation, creating consistent warmth without sacrificing breathability or comfort. Designed to sit comfortably over a base layer and under technical outerwear, it forms a key component of a high performance layering system.

The 260 gsm merino construction delivers a noticeably warmer feel than lightweight base layers, yet retains the smooth, supersoft touch that makes merino uniquely comfortable against the skin. The fibre’s natural elasticity allows full freedom of movement during riding, hiking or daily activity, while the breathable structure keeps heat levels stable and prevents moisture build up when intensity increases. Whether you are loading lifts on a midwinter morning or settling into a long drive toward the mountains, the Comfort Layer Sweater provides reliable thermal control with a premium hand feel.

This sweater features a clean, minimal design aligned with the Behind The Pines aesthetic. A subtle embroidered chest logo adds a refined detail without distracting from the garment’s purpose built performance. The silhouette is tailored to layer efficiently, reducing bulk under jackets while maintaining a relaxed, easy wearing feel during breaks, travel or après moments. Thanks to the odour resistant nature of merino wool, the sweater stays fresh through repeated use and requires fewer washes, making it ideal for multi day trips and riders who value low maintenance gear.

Made from Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified merino, the sweater meets rigorous standards for animal welfare and responsible land management. This certification ensures that the comfort and performance offered by the wool are matched by ethical sourcing and high quality fibre selection. The fabric retains softness and structure over time, offering durability throughout the season and beyond.

Whether used as a dedicated mid-layer for deep winter conditions or as a standalone piece on chilly autumn days, the Comfort Layer Merino Sweater 260 Black brings together warmth, breathability and a timeless look. Designed in house and built for riders who expect versatility, comfort and responsible material choices, it is an essential addition to the Behind The Pines merino system.
