In 2005 The Timberland Company acquired Smartwool and in 2011 Smartwool became a subsidiary of VF Corporation upon VF Corporation's acquisition of The Timberland Company.[1][2][3][4] The company makes eponymous products primarily from treated merino wool.[5] Smartwool claims that this proprietary treatment makes its products itch-free and resistant to shrinking.[6] Smartwool is also claimed to have moisture-wicking performance and odor-reducing, anti-microbial properties; it is thus marketed primarily as performance apparel.[5] Reviews for Smartwool products are typically found in the context of equipment for hiking and other outdoor activities.[7][8] They offer products for women, men, and kids.[9] In 2005, Smartwool implemented the requirement that its New Zealand wool suppliers no longer practice mulesing.[10] In 2010, Smartwool signed a contract to exclusively source its Merino wool from the New Zealand Merino Company.[11] References1. ^Kelly Bastone, 2005: Going global, Steamboat Springs on the Move: Official Business and Relocation Guide for the Yampa Valley, 2005.
