- Merino Blend
A new addition to our Merino Lite range, the Elphin Vest is built for all kinds of summer adventures — from high-energy hikes and multi-day missions to slower days in the sunshine.
Made from our lightest Merino blend, it’s naturally breathable, moisture-wicking and odour-resistant, with a super-soft, next-to-skin feel that keeps you comfortable as the temperature rises.

A relaxed fit and subtle split hem create a light, airy feel, while wide shoulder straps and full back coverage offer comfort and protection when you’re carrying a pack.
Flat merrow seams eliminate chafing, and the lightweight stretch fabric moves with you, so nothing pulls or rubs - leaving you free to focus on the objective ahead. On Your Terms.
Technical and versatile, the Elphin Vest is a true summer staple - a hardworking layer that just wants to be outside lapping up the sunshine. Don't we all?
Care guide
Care guide
- Machine wash at 30°C on a short wash and allow to dry flat.
- Do not use softeners or bleach and no need to iron.
- As merino is odour-resistant we recommend that you do not need to wash this style as often as other garments made from man-made fibres.
- When you do decide to wash this style we recommend you wash separately or with other woollen garments.
- We suggest that you use little soap powder but NO softener or bleaching agents in the wash.
- We advise that you do not wash with other outdoor garments as hooks and Velcro can attach themselves to your merino layers in the wash pulling, catching or dragging the fabric and the knitted stitches causing unnecessary holes.
- Once you have washed your garment we suggest you allow it to dry flat.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Natural materials have many benefits for you and the planet, but they are not the same as man-made fibres. If you treat them well and with care they will be a life-long companion.

Technical Performance
On Our Terms didn’t start with fabric, fit and features. It started with frustration; years of compromise, of women being offered scaled-down men’s kit and narrow ideas of what they should be outdoors. FINDRA was built to change that. Our Technical Performance collection combines that purpose with advanced design: lightweight, durable fabrics, PFC-free water-repellent finishes and 4-way stretch for unrestricted movement. Every piece is engineered to fit, flatter and move with you, delivering breathable comfort and reliable performance - on your terms.
