Safety
Static resistant
- Merino wool is much less likely to cling to ones body than other fabrics, due to its moisture absorption qualities which prevents the build up of static electricity.
Fire resistant
- A fabric made entirely of wool doesn’t readily catch fire. Even if it does, it burns slowly and self-extinguishes when the source of the flame is removed.
UV protection
- Merino wool has a naturally high UV protection, which is much higher than most synthetics and cotton.
