The go anywhere, do anything, merino hoodie
Whether you're biking into town for an oat latte, heading out on the trail for a day of adventure or curling up afterwards in front of a blazing fire, the Bella Tech hoodie has you covered. This is a sleek, simple, stylish hoodie made by mountain lovers for mountain lovers. NZ brand Mons Royale understand every aspect, whether it’s the breathable, lightweight performance that you need to get you where you’re going, or the cosy comfort and sporty understated style you want for the triumphant drink at the end. Made from a soft, breathable Merino wool blend, it offers exceptional temperature regulation. A touch of stretch gives total freedom of movement and because it’s naturally odour-resistant, you can wear it straight from the peak to the pub. Available in all black for a sporty, ninja sleek silhouette or denim tie-dye reminiscent of clouds racing across a dusky sky at sunset

- Ethically Sourced Materials - Mons Royale partners with New Zealand’s ZQRX Merino, the world’s leading ethical wool brand.
- Manufactured Sustainably - Mons Royale wool is spun at Süedwolle, a global leader for worsted spun yarn and certified with the latest eco certifications including Bluesign and Oeko-Tex standards.
- Sustainable Packaging - Mons Royale have phased out 90% of virgin plastic from their hang tags and accessories, replacing them with recycled and natural alternatives. Their products are packaged in plant based compostable bags and FSC certified paper.
Flashy technical outerwear is all well and good, but the foundation for all-day comfort in the great outdoors is a solid baselayer. Unfortunately, most are tight-fitting and uninspired, made from flimsy fabrics that look like Swiss cheese after a week or two on the trail.
Enter New Zealand-based brand, Mons Royale, born out of the Kiwi snow sports scene in the mountains above Lake Wanaka. Making merino base layers, jerseys and sweaters is what they do – and it really shows.
Just about everything in the Mons range is built around ethically and sustainably produced merino wool – a fibre with so many miracle properties that only Mother Nature could have come up with it. But it’s Mons Royale’s more relaxed approach to design that really makes them stand out. Constructed for comfort and flexibility, their base layers fit like your favourite T-shirt, rather than feeling as if they’ve been sprayed on.
We love Mons Royale because it’s technical stuff that looks good enough to wear every day. The cuts are casual, the pastel colours are cool but muted, and the branding isn’t too full-on. Take your Mons kit out for a day on the mountain, then stick the bike or climbing gear back in the van, switch the shorts for a clean pair of jeans and you’re all set to go for a post-adventure beer.
