Merino Activewear

Merino wool is the perfect fibre of choice for sportswear. In hot climates or during strenuous exercise a Merino wool garment close to the skin actively transfers moisture vapour molecules away from the body making the wearer less clammy. In cool climates it provides insulation and therefore keeps the wearer warm. This video highlights Merino wool's unique moisture management, the natural UV absorbance of the fibre and how Merino performs like no other fibre. http://www.woolmark.com/working-with-wool/sports-activewear Video Transcription: Given our lifestyle, we feel it's pretty important to maintain our fitness. We find running lets us unwind and relax, and Merino wool performs like no other. The complex structure of Merino fibre contains the moisture control that I need, especially in warmer conditions. It's a high-quality fibre which delivers a high-quality performance. The hygroscopic properties absorb and release vapour quickly, moving it away from the body. The less moisture there is, the less body odour I get and the actual Merino fibres lock away odour molecules - which are only released on washing. What I like about it is I can get out there no matter how cold it is but not freeze. And with the temperature regulator I can run all I want and I don't overheat either. It's definitely the best fibre that I've used. I've used everything out there over the years and this is my favourite. The natural UV protection is also a great benefit. It's one less worry,
