Ciele Athletics has long been known for smart design, premium materials, and an unapologetic focus on performance.
But their new collaboration with Woolmark takes things further, into colder, tougher conditions, with a Merino wool collection that’s every bit as sharp as it is functional.
This marks the brand’s first Woolmark-certified Merino collection, and it’s a clear signal of intent: Ciele isn’t just here to make running apparel, it’s here to do it better.
Better for your body. Better for the planet. And better for the kind of training that doesn’t stop when the temperature drops.
Why Merino? Why now?
Merino wool is no stranger to endurance gear, but not all Merino is created equal.
What makes this collection stand out is the Woolmark certification, which independently tests each piece for durability, colorfastness, and quality. With this you’re getting soft, breathable layers that are long-lasting performance garments that stay in shape and on pace, season after season.
Here’s what that means in real terms:
- Temperature regulation: Keeps you warm in the cold, cool when you heat up
- Moisture management: Naturally breathable and quick to dry
- Odor resistance: Run longer without the funk
- Softness: Fine-grade Merino that feels smooth against your skin, with no itch
- Sustainability: Merino is renewable, biodegradable, and recyclable
Key pieces to know
The collection includes cold-weather accessories like balaclavas, neck tubes, and Woolmark-certified beanies, and Merino-silk base layers with UPF 30 protection.
Performance meets purpose
This new line also reflects Ciele’s broader commitment to responsible design.
As a B Corp-certified company, Ciele continues to make sustainability a performance standard, not a tradeoff. An added benefit of choosing Merino is that the materials have a lighter footprint from start to finish.
The partnership with Woolmark ensures that every piece in the collection meets a global benchmark for ethical sourcing and technical quality, meaning you can run, layer, and live in this gear with a bit more peace of mind.
