I was so thrilled to try Unbound  Merino for the first time recently and, I have to say, there is a lot to love about this brand! Created as a Travel Brand with the motto of “Pack less. Experience More”, Unbound primarily offered Men’s Items until pretty recently. They broke into the women’s market with some very classic, travel-based pieces and I think they nailed it!

Why Unbound Merino? They make a great case:

If you shop with Unbound Merino & my other affiliates, I so appreciate you using my links. If you make a purchase, I might receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. I would also like to say “Thank you” to Unbound Merino for gifting me several items for my review! It means a lot that I am able to collaborate with such innovative, quality brands.

My first item to try is the Unbound Merino Travel Pants. Let’s check out the stats:

• Soft and stretchy fabric makes travel days super comfortable.
• Lightweight-meets-compact construction perfect for easy packing.
• Slip-on waistband delivers complete ease of wear.
• Two functional pockets designed to keep essentials stashed.
• Dries fast, keeping you comfortable.
• Classic fit – See Fit Guide
• Fine stretch Merino weave: 98% Merino wool, 2% spandex
• 144gsm

I was really excited to try these because I do not currently have a pair of classic black pants. I don’t travel a lot, so I was primarily looking for a business casual work pair of pants that could be worn easily and often, with all the benefits I love about wool.

Before we talk about fit, I am about 5’6″, usually a size 10 in pants, and 175 pounds. I chose size Large, with an inseam of 28″. The fit is absolutely perfect for me!

These high-waisted pants stay up, fit snug but not too tight, and are really comfy. They have a wide, stretchy elastic waist. There are no back pockets, but the front pockets are generous. They are extremely lightweight. I experimented with folding them very messily, stuffing them into their box, and trying them on again the next day. I am happy to report that the wrinkles fell out quite easily and the pants still looked great. So I think they would truly make an excellent travel pant.  Although I have yet to wash them, I believe the light fabric would be very easy to machine or handwash and they would hang dry super quickly. Like all merino, they are odor-resistant making them ideal for wearing and re-wearing!

I also received the Unbound Merino Wool Vneck Tshirt in Ivory. Here are the stats from their website:

• Classic fit – See Fit Guide
• 56% Merino, 44% Polyester
• Ultra-fine 17.5 micron
• 190g/m2

This is the perfect classic white v-neck! It’s off-white but still reads as white (not too warm) and the weight and thickness are perfect! I love the cut, color, feel, and length of this shirt and it fits true to size. (Wearing a large in this one as well.)  Notice that the fabric breakdown is 56% Merino and 44% Polyester. That is because it’s more difficult to create a white wool fabric, because bleaching can damage the fibers. I have read that anytime an item is over 50% merino it will retain the benefits of wool, so I will have to report back about how this shirt performs once I have tested in more!
I am wearing my shirts tucked a lot more at my current heavier weight, but I did try it untucked and snapped a pic so you all could see how the length is.

The Muscle Tank in Moonlight Blue is the prettiest color! I’m wearing it in a large. I probably should have gotten a medium in this tank because I have a smaller chest. A little arm-hole gap is typical for me when trying to get a good fit with a tank top on my pear-shape self, so I would still say this tank top fits as I expected.

Check out the stats from the website:

• Classic fit – See Fit Guide
• 100% Merino wool jersey
• 175gsm

This tank is 100% Merino and feels silky soft! I absolutely love the cut of it, and feel like it’s the perfect combo with the Travel Pants. I know this would also be perfect for wearing with a cardigan, jean jacket, or even a blazer.

My last item is Women’s Merino Leggings in Charcoal. Here is manufacturer’s info for these leggings:

• Slim fit – See Fit Guide
• 68% Merino wool, 22% Nylon, 10% Spandex
• 330gsm
• 17.5 Micron

I am wearing these leggings in a size Large. They fit beautifully and feel absolutely amazing. They are a lower wool content than some of my other leggings at 68% and I feel they run a little smaller than some of the other brands I often share. (Perhaps that is due to the “Slim Fit” in the product guide?) These leggings did not sag or slide down after wearing them most of the day, so I do think that the size Large was my best size.

I do feel that these leggings look a little bit more athletic than some of my others but that might be more because of the color than the cut. I do really like the darker grey color. My one negative to share from all of these pieces from Unbound Merino is that I dislike the vertical seam going up the front of the leggings. I would not feel comfortable wearing these leggings with a short top because of that design feature.  However, with longer tops or layered looks I think they are fantastic. You can see what I’m talking about with the product photos and maybe it wouldn’t bother you at all, but I did want to mention it!

Bundle Savings!

One more amazing thing I wanted to mention about Unbound Merino is that they offer Bundle Savings which would be a great way to build a little wool capsule. Unbound Merino did start out as a Men’s brand, so their Women’s Products are limited but I’m really hoping for more because I am super impressed with the items they are offering!
