The crew at Mons Royale have a knack for thinking outside the box – redesigning outdoor clothing staples to make them look and function better. The Yotei is a great example. The mid-weight 190gsm merino fabric hits somewhere between a base layer and a light mid layer, with a loose fit that means it works well for either purpose. A funnel-style hood adds to the versatility, and is designed to fit underneath a hat and goggles when you're out in the snow. What we really love about the Yotei – and Mons stuff in general – is that while it performs like technical outdoor gear, it looks and fits like your favourite everyday hoodie. The 100% merino material is warm, odour-resistant and breathable, and the relaxed cut gives it a great big dose of laid-back Kiwi style

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.
