Merino Kenny Crewneck
The verdict
Fit
Kenny fit is a classic crewneck with balanced proportions. Merino sits between cotton and synthetic—slightly denser than cotton, with natural elasticity.
Quality
Merino is a high-performer: resists odor, regulates temperature, and resists pilling far better than standard crewneck fibers. Durability is excellent.
Price check
At 135, merino commands a premium, but the fiber properties (temperature regulation, durability, odor resistance) justify it for frequent wear.
Best for
Active individuals or anyone living in variable climates who will wear this across seasons and benefit from merino's performance.
Care
Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry; merino is hardy but benefits from gentler handling.

What owners report about Reigning Champ sweaters
In-depth reviews of the brand all cover its cotton fleece, where construction gets consistent praise — the knit cardigan line itself has almost no dedicated third-party coverage. The few owners who mention it are positive: one names the merino rib shawl cardigan a favorite, describing it as thick and cuddly. Separately, one owner advises checking the made-in label before buying, saying some production has recently moved overseas.
- Strengths
- What little owner commentary exists praises the heavier merino knits for warmth and substance, against a brand-wide reputation for solid stitching and construction.
- Watch out for
- Dedicated coverage of the knit line is close to nonexistent, and one owner cautions that not everything is made in Canada anymore — check the label.
