Merino - When creating high-quality technical clothing, there's a great deal of inspiration drawn from the remarkable properties of merino wool. This natural material is sourced from the fleece of sheep that inhabit some of the most demanding places to live in the world. Places where temperatures can reach 40 degrees Celsius in summer and drop to -20 degrees Celsius in winter. These sheep - merinos - have to cope with both heat and cold. The secret lies in their wool - it contains thousands of micro-pockets of air that act as a buffer, insulating against extreme temperatures. In summer, the fibers don't heat up as much as our bodies, while in winter, the moisture responsible for chilling is absorbed by the merino fibers and transported outside. Its unique properties mean that even when the fibers are damp, they remain pleasant to the touch and retain some of their insulating properties. Merino wool dries more efficiently than cotton and significantly faster than traditional wool. It also prevents bacteria from settling in clothing, greatly reducing the development of unpleasant odors.
