Woolpower Full Zip Jacket 600

• Insulating
• Quick-drying
• Antibacterial
• Not waterproof

The Woolpower Full Zip Jacket 600 is a zippered pull that is best worn as a middle layer. It is manufactured without longitudinal seams to prevent chafing. At the back, the Full Zip Jacket offers extra length so that the back is well protected from the cold. It is made of a blend of merino wool and synthetic fibers. The wool yarn is woven along the inside of the pull in “loop form,” allowing more air to be retained. This provides better insulation. At the same time, this method of weaving ensures that sweat is transported to the outside of the garment, where it can evaporate.

Materials

Merino wool

Merino wool comes from merino sheep and is widely known for its high quality. Merino sheep have much more hair than other sheep. About ten times as many hairs grow per square meter as an average sheep. As a result, the wool is thinner and longer, feels very soft and does not itch. Merino sheep live in areas with wide temperature variations from -20 ºC to over 35 ºC. Their fur acts as a heat regulator. As a result, merino wool keeps you warm in the cold but breathes well. In addition, merino wool has excellent moisture management and self-cleaning properties, so you won’t easily suffer from perspiration marks and odors on your clothing.

Polyamide

Polyamide, also known as nylon, is a synthetic material made from petroleum. Polyamide is a strong fabric that does not tear and wrinkle easily. It is light, elastic, easy to fold and dries quickly. A disadvantage of polyamide is that it does not absorb moisture well.

Elastane

Elastane is a synthetic fiber that is exceptionally elastic. Its great stretchability, but at the same time its sturdiness sets it apart from other synthetic fabrics. For example, it is stronger and more durable than rubber, but also much lighter. Elastane is very lightweight, making it great for when you are doing activities. In fact, elastane also offers plenty of room to move because it is so elastic without losing its fit.
