Matt sits down with Armadillo Merino® founder Andy Caughey. Armadillo Merino® makes merino clothing and base layers but, their focus is way different than anything you’ve likely come across. They focus on functionality but, not just comfort and temperature control. They take things even further by delivering a product that can keep you protected in extreme conditions. 

Andy has been in the merino game for a long time so it’s safe to say he’s no stranger to the magic that is merino wool. He got the inspiration to start Armadillo Merino® after hearing countless heartbreaking stories of people in extreme conditions having their synthetic next-to-skin clothing melted to their skin under extreme heat. In his eyes, there was a simple solution to that in merino wool. While synthetic fabrics can be good in certain situations, merino’s natural qualities make it one of the absolute best choices under almost any circumstances

In this episode of ReddyYeti | Built On Passion Andy expands on how and why he started Armadillo Merino®, some of the deeper beneficial qualities of merino wool, and how he shares his passion for merino wool as a material with the world.
