Merino - When it comes to creating high-quality technical apparel, the outstanding properties of merino wool are now being heavily utilized. This natural material is obtained from the fleece of sheep living in some of the world's most demanding environments—places where temperatures can reach 40 degrees Celsius in summer and plummet to -20 degrees Celsius in winter. These merino sheep must endure extreme temperatures, which is facilitated by their wool. It contains thousands of micro-air pockets that act as an insulating buffer against extreme temperatures. In summer, the fibers don't heat up as much as our bodies do, and in winter, moisture responsible for chilling is absorbed by the merino fibers and transported outwards. Its specific properties mean that even when the fibers are damp, they remain comfortable to touch and retain some of their insulating properties. Merino wool dries faster than cotton and significantly quicker than traditional wool. It also prevents bacteria from settling into the fabric, reducing the occurrence of unpleasant odors.
