<h3>A LONG SLEEVE TEE THAT PASSES THE COMMANDO TEST</h3> <p>In WWI, wool was so important to British soldiers on the front lines that knitting wool sweaters was seen as a patriotic duty. 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.</p> <p>After witnessing repeated failures with their traditional wool sweaters, the SAS sought a lighter alternative, reinforcing the shoulders and elbows for durability. This became the iconic British Commando Sweater, and the inspiration for what we call the “commando test” — to pass muster, <meta charset="utf-8">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.</p> <p>We build ALL GORUCK Merino Wool tops with reinforced paneling on the shoulders so your <meta charset="utf-8">Merino shirt keeps its structure better over the long haul – representing the standard for performance in the <meta charset="utf-8">Merino wool category and passing the Commando Test.
