If your perfect Saturday could include anything from hiking a mountain trail, to running in the surf, lounging in the sun or kicking back with your friends and an iced coffee, then your wardrobe basics need to do more than most. They should look good but be as prepared for action as you are. Enter the Icon Tank from Mons Royale. Made from Merino Air-Con fabric, a merino wool blend that’s soft, durable and stretchy, it keeps your temperature steady and comfortable on the hottest days. With natural antibacterial properties, it doesn’t stink like some base layers do after ten seconds of wearing them, in fact you’re more likely to get ten wears first. The simple colours and loose relaxed style mean you can wear this however you like. Perfect for backpacking, van-lifing or people who have better things to do

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.
