When knitted into fabric, they are limited to one-way moisture movement
- simply no comparison to the superb insulation elements of merino wool. MERINO VS TRADITIONAL WOOL Compared to traditional wool, merino is a smoother & finer fibre, which gives it a vastly superior texture & handle compared to traditional coarse wools. The smooth silk-like feel ensures the wearer will enjoy an 'itch-free' experience, even on sensitive skin. There are millions of tiny air pockets in the merino fabric, which trap air & lock in body heat, in cool to very cold weather conditions. Merino wool naturally regulates your temperature by absorbing & releasing moisture, keeping you warm when it’s cold & cool when it's hot. Merino has a soft & smooth texture, which is very different from the itchy feeling of your traditional wool. in addition, the keratin found in merino has been proven by dermatologists to be beneficial to the softness of human skin
- making merino the perfect 'first on' garment. Merino has natural anti-bacterial properties which resist the build up of odours. Meaning it won't stink at aprés ski drinks, & it can last for days without needing to be washed. Merino has a natural ability to wick away moisture by allowing air to breathe in & out. This means merino can dry quickly, & continue to insulate & cool the body
