The high percentage of virgin wool ensures a high performance level in the areas of insulation, temperature regulation, moisture management and odour resistance.
The thermal bonding of the wool fibers makes this product a strong and long lasting filling for different kinds of fashion and outdoor garments. It can be used in active apparel, sleeping bags, puffy winter jackets, parkas.
Breathable
Wool can absorb and release up to 30-36% of its dry weight without feeling damp or clammy. This makes this non-woven highly breathable, quick drying and it keeps the user warm. This high moisture absorbing capacity is thirty times as much as polyester. Wool absorbs moisture from the atmosphere of greater humidity and releases it to the drier environment. This makes wool a perfect temperature regulator that keeps us warm in the cold and provides a cooling effect when it's warm.
At the same time wool is naturally water and dirt repellent. It provides us with an unmatched wearing comfort.
The wool
This wool from which this material is made, comes exclusively from European sheep, that graze in Norway, Sweden, the Swiss and Austrian Alps. The wool is animal friendly and mulesing free. The sheep are always kept in such a way that their body functions and behavior are not disturbed, lodgings and enclosures are provided with suitable feeding and drinking, areas of rest and retreat. Washing the wool is done in several factories in Europe, the non woven is produced in Germany.
