Armadillo Merino® Champions

Our Armadillo Merino® Champions are a unique group of athletes, adventurers, and professionals who put our gear to the ultimate test. From mountaineers tackling the world’s highest peaks to endurance athletes pushing the limits of human performance, to firefighters operating in life-threatening environments - these individuals embody the strength, resilience, and trust that define Armadillo Merino®.

Each Champion represents our commitment to developing the world’s most advanced next-to-skin performance clothing. Designed for tactical operators and professionals working in high-risk environments, our garments deliver unmatched comfort, durability, and protection when it matters most.
