MATERIAL: 100% Merino Wool 160 grams, 16 microns

Merino wool comes from specially bred sheep living in cold and wet regions (New Zealand, Australia). In this harsh nature, sheep produce natural fibers, which man cannot. However they can fortunately process them. These fibers are much finer than traditional wool. Merino wool is silky soft, has a higher insulation ability and is more breathable. Underwear made of long fibers of very fine merino wool, provides the user with comfort and softness. Each fiber is corrugated and elastic, which brings high durability and long service life of the fabric. Thanks to the elasticity of the fiber, woolen clothes do not wrinkle. Wool fibers are highly hydrophilic and have a high absorption capacity. The wool does not melt or burn, it also provides high protection against UV radiation. Its production is environmentally friendly and based on the principle of renewable resources.

Insolation and thermoregulation

Merino wool fabric insulates extremely well. The fiber has a very curly structure, thanks to which millions of tiny air pockets are created, which take care of insulating body heat. Merino wool works according to body temperature in accordance with body thermoregulation. It regulates body temperature by absorbing and releasing moisture. This ensures that your body has the same temperature even when the intensity of movement changes. When it is cold and humid, merino fiber absorbs this moisture and creates so-called sorption heat. In a warm environment, merino wool regulates the temperature through the process of "evaporative cooling". This is the same as the one our body uses – it releases sweat to cool down.

Odor control

Merino wool has a natural resistance to the growth of microbes and has the ability to repel odor. You can wear merino for many days without a trace of odor. The reason is the combination of wool's extraordinary ability to absorb moisture and the heterogeneity of fibers with a very rugged surface. The odor is caused by bacteria that prefer an unprotected surface, flat walls, therefore bacteria thrive in synthetic fabrics but not in natural merino wool.

Thermoregulation
Woolen textile materials create a microclimate on the body that prevents the rapid penetration of the external climate to the skin - whether cold in winter (wool "warms") or hot in summer (wool "cools").

Moisture wicking
The surface of the fiber is hydrophobic, therefore it repels sweat. Sweat either evaporates or, if retained (for example, by another layer of clothing), it soaks inside the fiber, which, in turn, is hydrophilic. The inside of the wool fiber has the ability to absorb moisture up to 30% of its weight without the fiber feeling damp or cold. Even a fully soaked fiber remains dry to the touch and at the same time does not lose any of its thermoregulatory ability.

Permeability
Wool textile material is very breathable even in a dense structure, This property also allows moisture in the fibers to evaporate quickly. Breathability is provided by the irregular surface structure of the woolen fiber, which is formed by microscopic scales.

Soft to silky texture
The finest types of Merino wool (SUPER FINE) have fibers with a diameter of 16 micrometers (microns), i.e. 0.016 millimeters. For comparison: a human hair is 100 micrometers in diameter.

Naturally Antibacterial
Wool is made up of 90% protein (keratin), binds harmful substances, including viruses and bacteria, limits their decomposition and multiplication. Woolen clothing does not smell even after multiple use. Alternatively, it is enough to ventilate the woolen clothing, which will get rid of any odors itself.

Wool is an anti-allergen
There are no known allergic reactions to wool (beware not to be confused with the so-called "allergy" to wool when people with sensitive skin feel uncomfortable when wearing ordinary wool, which has a large diameter in microns). Merino wool extra fine, or super fine (with 16 micrometers) has a delicate almost silky touch that does not bother even hardened opponents of wool.

Wool protects against UV radiation
Which many synthetic fibers do not do at all or only insufficiently.

Hollow fiber
Sheep wool is a natural hollow fiber.
