Facts about Merino wool:
Pure wool is 100% natural fiber, and merino wool with long fibers provides incredibly soft and delicious comfort. Merino wool fibers are technically far more complex than synthetic fibers. The merino fibers are hydrophobic (water resistant), but in the capsule the fiber is hydrophilic and has great absorbency. Merino wool absorbs and transports moisture to cool or warm the body.
The wool makes you quickly gets warm but not too warm or overheated, which is due to the good breathable properties that the wool possesses. Synthetic fibers such as polypropylene or polyester do not have this ability to breathe and absorb moisture. Merino wool can contain up to 35% moisture before it feels wet. Thus, 100% Merino wool can absorb what corresponds to 35% of the material's own weight, without the wool feeling wet. This makes you feel dry, while the wool also warms when wet. Merino wool regulates the temperature in a natural way. The wool absorbs and transports the moisture away from the body.
When it's cold , the dry wool will absorb the moisture, and thus automatically starts a process that generates heat. When it is hot, on the other hand, the wool will regulate the temperature by cooling down via evaporation. The body uses the same principle when we sweat. The Merino fiber is only a fraction in diameter of a normal wool fiber, and this makes the Merino wool feel light and very soft against the skin. The fibers in merino wool are also protective, and the keratin in the merino fiber makes it naturally flame retardant. This means that under normal circumstances the wool does not burn or melt, and the wool even has a high level of protection against UV radiation. Merino wool has a natural resistance to the growth of microorganisms and Merino wool can be used for several days without the wool starting to smell. This is due to the overlapping and slightly scaly surface of the fibres, which gives the wool the ability to absorb moisture. Bacteria, which provide the basis for odors, thrive best on smooth surfaces, such as occur on synthetic fibres. For example, within sports socks/running socks, the many advantages of Merino wool have been discovered. The wool acts as a temperature regulator, and if you sweat a lot, you cool down to a suitable temperature in the socks, and if you get very cold, the socks warm your feet.
