Gran Sasso RAINWOOL: Merino knitwear we’ve been carrying for six years

Merino wool with a practical finish

RAINWOOL offers better protection against water and dirt

Gran Sasso’s RAINWOOL knitwear has been a staple of our collection for six years. Not as a fleeting fashion trend, but because this merino quality has won over our customers. It’s comfortable to wear, looks polished, and pairs effortlessly—with a blazer, chinos, or even jeans.

What sets RAINWOOL apart from classic merino wool is the yarn’s finish. The merino wool from Zegna Baruffa is treated exclusively for Gran Sasso so that water and dirt roll off more easily. At the same time, the material remains soft and breathable. This makes the sweaters a great choice for everyday wear when the weather in Hamburg is unpredictable. RAINWOOL isn’t waterproof, but it’s significantly more durable than a conventional merino sweater.

At UNIT Hamburg, we carry RAINWOOL as crew-neck sweaters, with stand-up collars, and as turtlenecks. The clean silhouette makes this knitwear a reliable companion for fall, winter, and cooler days in the spring.

The Shoulder: A Modern Detail

A distinctive stitch pattern for a youthful look

In addition to the material, the shoulders are what really stand out on RAINWOOL. The distinctive stitch pattern at this transition gives the sweater more structure and a modern, slightly sportier touch. It’s a subtle detail, but it’s precisely this that reveals the careful craftsmanship.

This makes the sweater look more youthful without being overly trendy. We appreciate this balance: RAINWOOL suits people of all ages and complements a personal style that values high-quality materials and clean lines. Paired with a blazer, it looks polished; with jeans, it has a more relaxed vibe.

Colors available include off-white, navy, and black. A new addition is espresso brown, a warm, dark brown shade that pairs particularly well with gray, beige, denim, and dark blue. Prices range from 220 to 240 euros, depending on the model.

RAINWOOL by Gran Sasso is available online at unithamburg.de and, of course, in our store in the HanseViertel in downtown Hamburg. Since these styles are in regular demand, the rule is: We have them in stock as long as they aren’t sold out. If you’re looking for a specific color or size, it’s best to check online or stop by UNIT Hamburg for a personal consultation.
