BORN TO RUN

Ultrarunner Mimmi Kotka reveals why Smartwool® makes the perfect training partner

- 

When you're enjoying adventures in the great outdoors, you need clothing that performs. Nobody knows this better than ultrarunning athlete, Mimmi Kotka. The nature-loving adventurer competes in some of the world's most gruelling mountain races, running up to 120K in the most extreme conditions. Yet, like many athletes and outdoor fans, when it comes to kit, Mimmi's choice is simple - Smartwool®. 'Wool is nature's own technical material - humans couldn't invent anything smarter!' says Mimmi. 'I always wear wool next to my skin when training outdoors, and Smartwool® is the nicest.'

MERINO MAGIC

Made from sustainable, ZQ merino wool, Smartwool® is perfect for performance in every season. The fabric naturally breathes, helping regulate your body temperature. When it's cold outside, merino fibres trap air, insulating you. In warm weather, they transport sweat away from your skin, keeping you cool, dry and odour-free, without the clammy feeling other sweat-wicking fabrics can cause. Thinner and softer than regular wool, Smartwool is super-comfy on the skin and perfect for layering, making it ideal for long training sessions.
