THE WHY

We’ve gotten used to needing a different shirt for everything.

One for everyday.
One for travel.
One for moving.

More pieces. More compromises.

And somewhere along the way, performance started meaning synthetic. Plastic.

We wondered if nature could do better.

What if we didn’t have to choose?

Natural fibers. Real performance. Fewer pieces.

Built to do more.

INTRODUCING THE NEXT CHAPTER OF OUR MERINO JOURNEY.

WE LET PEOPLE FEEL THE DIFFERENCE.

Before explaining microns, fibers or fabric technology, we did something simpler.

We handed people the shirts and asked which one they preferred.

No technical pitch.
No reason to choose ours.

Just touch.

PROVEN BEFORE. REFINED AGAIN.

WHY MERINO WOOL?

Merino wool is a superfine natural fiber grown by Merino sheep, evolved to keep them comfortable through dramatic changes in temperature and weather. That same fiber naturally manages moisture, resists odor, breathes, and feels remarkably soft against skin.

Microns (μm) measure fiber diameter — one millionth of a meter.

Merino can absorb up to a third of its weight in moisture vapor without feeling wet — while continuing to insulate when damp. So when you stop moving, you stay warmer and avoid the sudden chill common with sweat-soaked layers.

BUT NOT ALL MERINO IS THE SAME.

The fiber diameter, weight, blend and construction change how it feels — and what it’s best at.

THAT'S WHY WE CREATED

ROAMERINO™

Merino, purpose-built.

Seadon's natural-performance platform built around Merino wool — tuning fiber, weight, blend and construction to how each product is actually used.

TENCEL™

Made from eucalyptus fibers, TENCEL™ gives Merino a cooler, smoother touch — making our signature fabric especially comfortable for those who find other Merino garments itchy against the skin.

NOT ALL 100% MERINO IS CREATED EQUAL.

Our SF100™ combines longer, finer 17.5-micron Merino fibers with an ultralight 150gsm construction — elevating softness, durability, breathability and warmth-to-weight for higher-output performance.

UNIQUELY DIFFERENT. BETTER TOGETHER.

Instead of forcing every feature into one product, we created two specialists designed to work together. Hike in the SF100. Then throw on the Traveler afterwards — so comfortable, it might replace your pajamas.

LIMITED EDITION PRINT | MEN'S SF100

Because printing directly onto ultra-fine Merino wool is technically demanding and significantly more costly, we’re producing this print as a limited edition of just 100 pieces — giving us a chance to test demand before taking it further.

FIND YOUR FIT

No need to choose your size yet — you’ll select your style, color, and size after the campaign ends.

Men: S–XXXL
Women: XS–XXL

SAME SIZE. DIFFERENT FEEL.

Traveler — softer, drapier, and slightly more relaxed thanks to the Merino + TENCEL™ blend.

SF100 — closer to the body with a classic performance base-layer fit.

Use the recommended chest/bust measurement as your main reference. Body length and sleeve measurements shown are actual garment measurements.

Full garment measurements will be provided after the campaign, giving you plenty of time to confirm and finalize your size before fulfillment.

Still unsure? Seadon Backer Program members receive a 45-day size exchange, subject to availability.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Merino is naturally easy to care for and needs less washing than most fabrics. When it does need a wash:

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low if needed.

For the longest life, we recommend:

Use wool detergent • Wash only when needed • Line dry or lay flat to dry • Avoid high heat

A little extra care goes a long way.

PRICING + REWARDS

Mix & match any Traveler or SF100 styles in solid colors across all packs.
Choose your final styles, colors and sizes after the campaign.

🎁 Eligible for 1 FREE pair of Merino socks through our Seadon Backer Program Launch Bonus — simply back + leave a comment. Limit 1 pair per backer.

SHIPPING + TIMELINE

We’ll fulfill rewards from the U.S., Germany, and Hong Kong to keep shipping as efficient as possible. The more you bundle, the more we subsidize — with FREE shipping to the U.S. + selected countries on qualifying packs, and reduced rates elsewhere.

If you don’t see your country listed in our shipping options, please reach out to us! We ship worldwide and can provide you with the most up-to-date shipping quote for your country.

DUTIES & TAXES

No import duties due on delivery for backers in the U.S., Hong Kong, and the EU countries we fulfill from our regional hubs.

For all other destinations, local duties, taxes or handling fees may apply. Import rules vary by country and can change, so we recommend checking your local customs regulations before pledging.

NEW | THE SEADON BACKER PROGRAM

Kickstarter has always been more than crowdfunding for us. It’s where some of our longest-standing supporters first discovered Seadon — and where our community has helped shape what we build.

So we’re creating something exclusively for our Kickstarter backers.

Think of the Seadon Backer Program as your private VIP portal into Seadon — unlocking backer-only perks, Secret Rewards, early access, founder access, product voting, and benefits that grow with your backer history.

Live demo in update #1

BUILT AROUND WHAT BACKERS WANT MOST.

Before deciding what to launch first, we asked our existing backers.

When they could choose only one feature, Backer-Only Perks came out clearly on top.

So that’s where we’re starting.

And this is only the beginning.

Back this campaign and you’ll become part of the program — with access to future perks and Secret Rewards, plus a voice in which products, benefits, and experiences come next.

A NOTE FROM CARSON

Hello Trailblazers — and welcome to those joining us for the first time.

I’m Carson, founder of Seadon.

I started Seadon because I wanted to build better clothing for the way I love to live — running, hiking, traveling, and spending as much time outside as possible.

Seadon has always been shaped by different places, cultures and perspectives. I split my time between the U.S., UK and Hong Kong, depending on where the business needs me most.

During key production periods, I’m usually in Hong Kong. Being close to our factories, suppliers and development partners means I can work directly with them on fabrics, fit, colors and quality control — often solving things in days that would otherwise take weeks from thousands of miles away.

More importantly, we’ve built relationships with many of these partners over years. That gives a small brand like Seadon much more flexibility in how we develop and produce — and it’s one of the reasons we’re able to offer so many colors in this campaign without simply producing huge quantities of everything.

We also work closely with fabric specialists in Taiwan, and my curiosity about materials has taken me much further — including to New Zealand, where I traveled to learn firsthand about Merino wool and meet some of the people behind this incredible natural fiber.

But wherever Seadon takes me, the outdoors is still where I come back to — and where most of our products ultimately get tested.

It’s also a constant reminder of what we’re trying to protect.

I don’t believe there’s one perfect material. When synthetics make sense, we prioritize recycled alternatives. And where nature can do the job better, we want to explore that further.

That’s why this campaign means a lot to me.

This next evolution of Traveler and SF100 marks our return to Merino — and the beginning of a much bigger natural-performance journey for Seadon through our Roamerino™ platform.

We’ve taken what we’ve learned through years of product development, real-world testing, customer feedback and Kickstarter campaigns, and put it into these two pieces.

And there’s much more I want to explore from here.

I’ll be sharing more of the stories behind Seadon throughout the campaign — including our Merino journey, what we’ve learned along the way, and how the new Seadon Backer Program will bring our backers much closer to what we’re building next.

Whether this is your first time discovering Seadon or you’ve supported us from the beginning, thank you for giving us the opportunity to keep building.

I’m excited to share what comes next — and I hope you’ll be part of it.

Carson
Founder, Seadon
