Ridge Merino is a family-owned outdoor apparel brand based in Mammoth Lakes, California, specializing in high-performance Merino wool clothing designed for both everyday wear and rigorous outdoor activities. Founded in 2014 by Jeff and Susan Russell, the company emerged from a desire to make professional-grade Merino wool apparel accessible to all outdoor enthusiasts.
The brand's product lineup includes base layers, mid layers, tees, underwear, and accessories for men, women, and kids. Notable products include the Men's Journey Merino Wool T-Shirt, Men's Pursuit Ultralight Long Sleeve Merino Shirt, and the Women's Aspect Midweight Merino Wool High Neck Top. These items are crafted using ultra-fine Merino wool fibers, often reinforced with (m)Force™ technology—a nylon core-spun Merino wool that enhances durability without compromising softness.
Ridge Merino is committed to sustainability, sourcing all wool from non-mulesed sheep in Australia and New Zealand, and ensuring it is certified humane. The company also blends TENCEL™, a biodegradable fiber derived from wood pulp, into some of its fabrics to enhance softness and moisture-wicking properties . As a member of 1% for the Planet, Ridge Merino donates a portion of every sale to environmental nonprofits, reflecting its dedication to environmental stewardship.
