Merino wool the ‘world’s finest super fibre’
US footwear and athletic clothing brand Athletic Propulsion Labs (APL) has again teamed up with wool promotions body The Woolmark Company, this time to create a capsule collection of activewear made from merino wool.

The products in this collection are made from wool and wool-rich fabrics that are Woolmark certified. Two products, the Perfect Wool cowl neck top and the Perfect Wool crop top, are both comprised of 100% Australian Merino wool. 

Other products in the collection include a bomber jacket, running shorts, a wool blend t-shirt and wool trousers. They are all available in sizes for men and women. 

“With the APL x Woolmark apparel collaboration, we looked to further solidify ourselves as leaders and originators of the luxury performance category,” said APL co-founder Adam Goldston. “We took arguably the world’s finest super fibre, Merino wool, and used it as the foundation to create this beautiful and functional collection that you can use in all aspects of your life from travel to training.”

APL and Woolmark previously collaborated to design a shoe made from 80% Australian Merino wool. Released in 2018, the TechLoom Breeze Merino Wool was the first technical-knit footwear to be certified by The Woolmark Company.
