Merino wool is one of the noblest fibers in the world, offering excellent thermal properties in cold conditions. It has natural antibacterial properties, preventing sweat from permeating the fabric and causing unpleasant odors. It retains heat even when wet and is soft to the touch, making it non-itchy on the skin, unlike other wools. Additionally, it repels water, making it an ideal fiber for rainy seasons. With keratin content, it protects against ultraviolet rays. It is breathable, largely due to the fiber diameter and the air pockets created in the knit. Being a fine, quality fiber, it possesses high flexibility and heat resistance. It is also eco-friendly and biodegradable, as it is a 100% natural fiber, unlike other wools blended with synthetic fibers derived from petroleum, which have a negative environmental impact.
