Mons Royale

About Mons Royale

Mons Royale is a merino wool label from Wānaka, New Zealand, founded in 2009 by a freeride skier and a designer. It started with base layers that broke from the dull merino of the time: bold colours, loud graphics and looser fits. Today the range covers apparel for biking, snowboarding, skiing and trail running, and every product is designed and tested in the same mountains the sheep roam. The brand works with a Growers Club network of New Zealand merino farmers and aims to move outdoor clothing away from oil-based synthetics. Ellis Brigham calls its base layers some of the best thermals you can buy.
