By WWII, wool’s reputation was further solidified. However, SAS members spent extended periods in the field, laden with rucksacks and additional equipment, constantly on the move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter witnessing repeated failures with their traditional wool sweaters, the SAS sought a lighter alternative, reinforcing the shoulders for durability. This became the iconic British Commando Sweater, and the inspiration for what we call the “commando test” — to pass muster, Merino wool must be reinforced in high stress areas. If it’s not, it simply fails too fast like the traditional wool garments that the SAS rejected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe build ALL GORUCK Merino Wool tops with reinforced paneling on the shoulders so your Merino shirt keeps its structure better over the long haul – representing the standard for performance in the Merino wool category and passing the Commando Test. This ensures that your Merino shirt maintains its shape over time, while still providing all the advantages of Merino, such as odor resistance and perfect temperature regulation, regardless of the adventure or mission at hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eFeatures\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced shoulders with Indestructible Training Fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut like your favorite tee with added performance benefits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow percentage of only 11% Nylon blend to help it retain its shape, but not sacrifice the quality of the product.
