TEMPERATURE REGULATING
Merino can help keep your little ones warm in winter and cool in summer as it creates its own microclimate around the body. The natural crimp of a Merino fibre enables it to trap air effectively, insulating the body from the cold.
GREAT NO MATTER THE SEASON
Merino isn't just for cold winter days or nights. It is fine and light, making it excellent to use in the warmer months too. It is great to use when the air is cold or damp even, a molecular process called 'heat of sorption' releases heat. which can be felt by those under the garment.
BREATHABILITY
Merino is extremely breathable and has the capacity to absorb up to 30% of its own weight in water without feeling damp so that your little ones remain warm despite any spills or nappy leaks. Wool is also resistant to mould, mildew and bacteria which helps to create a healthy sleeping environment.
FIRE RESISTANT
Merino is one of the least flammable fibres and is slower to burn than other man-made fibres such as nylon or polyester. It is also easier to extinguish and combusts at a higher temperature than other fibres.
MOISTURE WICKING
Merino is a hydroscopic fibre. This means it is capable of absorbing moisture vapour from the environment while at the same time repelling liquids. The natural ability to absorb and desorb water vapour makes it useful for children who may become wet in the night.
QUICK DRYING
Merino is quick to dry so that even in winter you'll be likely to wash it and use it again on the same day.
