Performance: the new(ish) kid on the adventure sports block, Driza-Bone is already playing with the big boys as supplier to the Mark Webber Challenge. At 190gsm, the top tested only locks in so much heat, so it’s better suited to high exertion on mild but changeable weather days where wicking and comfort are the priorities. Driza does offer a 270gsm Mid and 320gsm Extra, so every base is covered right down to an Antarctic one. Leggings were equally comfortable, offering the same high-end performance, although I would prefer a drawstring on the waist in addition to elastic.

Feel: it’s merino, ’nuff said.

Style: looser fit, but cut is stylish and pub passable.

Materials: merino wool (from non- mulesing farms!).

Made in: Czech Republic.
