Highlights & Technologies:

LAVALAN:
The functional padding consists largely of European virgin wool. The wool in the product is traceable and comes from farms in Europe that rely on a regional supply chain and species-appropriate animal husbandry, without any mulesing. Biodegradable fibres (polyactide, PLA) made from renewable raw materials are used to reinforce the wool. The proportion of PLA used varies depending on the area of application of the padding: lavalan – the wool insulation.
LAVALAN wool also fulfils the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100:
This product is certified in accordance with the Oeko Tex standard “Confidence in Textiles“, which means that it is tested for harmful substances according to Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex. The product complies with the latest human-ecological requirements: no carcinogenic substances, no formaldehyde, no allergy-inducing dyes, skin-friendly pH value.

MULESING:
Mulesing is a widespread surgical procedure in Australia, practised in sheep farming for the production of wool. In this procedure, the sensitive skin on the hindquarters of lambs, which has many wrinkles due to breeding, is cut off with a sharp knife and usually without anaesthesia.
The wool for this product comes from sheep that have not been subjected to mulesing, thus setting an example against the torturous procedure.

THERMOSHIELD:
Extra warm properties ensure high wearing comfort, even under extreme conditions.

TOUCH:
Conductive special fabric on the fingers of the gloves, which allows for optimal use of touch screen devices.

MERINO WOOL:
Compared to traditional wool, merino wool offers a particularly fine fibre. Because of the extreme weather conditions merino sheep are exposed to in nature, the wool has strong thermoregulation properties and is capable of wicking moisture away from the body particularly fast. Thus, it creates a warm protective layer for the entire body, even when wet. In contrast to traditional wool, merino wool is not scratchy even when wet. Thus, merino is perfect as a next-to-skin layer. Yet, merino wool is also ideal for warm summer days as its high breathability has a cooling effect. Thanks its the high comfort and fire resistance properties, merino wool is a very popular fibre.
