MerinoPerform™ Next to Skin | MerinoPerform™ Advantage | MerinoPerform™ Pro
The MerinoPerform™ Next to Skin range provides a high level of next-to-skin comfort, suitable for those seeking a sense of wellbeing in a broad range of leisure and sporting activities.
MerinoPerform™ Next to Skin fabrics contain at least 50 per cent Merino (of 19.5 micron) to enable effective management of moisture vapour.
NATURAL COMFORT
Merino fibres are finer than traditional wool, so they feel luxuriously soft next to the skin. And they work in total harmony with the wearer’s body due their excellent natural elasticity, so MerinoPerform™ Next to Skin garments are ideal for stretch-related activities such as gym workouts and yoga.
BREATHABILITY
Merino absorbs moisture vapour produced by the wearer and releases it into the atmosphere later. This results in low humidity in the micro-climate between the skin and the garment, and therefore minimal sweating and increased comfort during exercise
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
Sweating is nature’s temperature regulator – the evaporation of liquid from the skin’s surface producing a very efficient cooling effect. Potentially, clothing can obstruct this process causing overheating. However, Merino actually speeds up the process of vapour transfer resulting in cooler muscles that are able to work at higher intensity levels.
ODOUR RESISTANCE
Merino stays fresher for longer. Merino wool’s structure and moisture absorption properties reduce the tendency for build-up of body odours. It’s complex chemical structure locks the odour molecules within the fibre and only releases them on washing.
ANTI-STATIC
The ability to dissipate static electricity means that Merino garments have a reduced attraction to lint and fluff. They will also not cling uncomfortably to the wearer which synthetics often do during exercise, resulting in a more comfortable work out.
EASY CARE
MerinoPerform™ Next to Skin garments can be machine washed and tumble dried, and their excellent elasticity helps them maintain their shape for longer.
