@jackalope: Thank's mate, stoked to hear we have a few fans out in North Carolina. You ride in a different climate than where we're based (Wanaka, Squamish & Innsbruck), if you've ever got performance or product feedback for your neck of the woods we'd love to hear it.

We might be able to rustle something up for you... Shoot an email to orders@monsroyale.com and we'll see what we can do.

Cheers @OneUpComponents, we're pumped for what comes next...

@madmon, stay tuned for more update... Robin Goomes just put a backy to dirt...

Cheers @lordjord, we hope that one day you too might land a backflip...

Hey mate, a little late on replying to this comment (cheeky few months) but better late than never! The North American head office is based out of Squamish, BC... watch this space.

@oldfut: Rad to hear you have a couple pairs of our socks, hope they're working well for you! While we can't speak for Backcountrys wool, perhaps it was certain blend of merino with synthetic that caused the irritation? Sounds like the Arc and TLD jerseys are doing the same thing, which suggests that synthetic could be a cause of irritation. Typically, if you have merino wool against the skin (like Merino Air-Con) you'll experience that super soft feel of the small micron. It's also known to be non allergenic, doing miracles for style-lovers with sensitive skin. Research shows that wearing merino wool T-shirts or sweaters reduces adult and infant eczema symptoms impressively compared to other fabrics. This hypoallergenic fiber treats your skin softly and with great care. That said, while it's very rare some people can have a wool allergy which is caused from lanolin — a protective, waxy layer that covers every strand of sheep hair. This is very rare though - A review in 2001 of more than 24,000 people with high risk for allergies showed only 1.7% of them actually reacted to lanolin.

@bigbrett: Thanks! Give it a go... you won't go back ;) And noted on the thumb loops, it's and issue we've been aware of for a while. It's such a hard wear and tear area - and the 190gsm 100% merino wool in the Yotei is strong, but it's just about impossible to reinforce that area to keep it bombproof. We're working on a little fix for this... keep your eyes peeled!
