Woolpower LITE products can be worn all year round. They provide warmth when it is cold and a cooling effect when it gets hot.
Made entirely in Sweden, Woolpower products are easy to care for, do not cause itching even on very sensitive skin and provide exceptional warmth in the most extreme conditions.
Made in Sweden, this lightweight merino wool neck tube is suitable for milder conditions when only a little extra warmth is needed. The denser knit is cooler and thinner and provides less insulation than Woolpower 200, 400 or 600 garments, even though it contains more wool than the terry-knit wool fabric.
The unique circular-knitted construction is a thoughtful solution, as numerous seams can sometimes cause discomfort.
Woolpower wool garments have numerous benefits: excellent insulation, breathability, a non-itchy feel, infrequent washing requirements, resistance to perspiration odours, suitability for washing at 60 °C, durability and warmth even when wet, to name a few.
Warm and breathable!
Depending on the specific garment (LITE range, wool terry 200, 400, etc.), the specially knitted merino wool fabric provides excellent insulation. The thicker the wool layer, the more air it can trap (as in wool terry), helping to retain body heat more effectively.
Does not itch!
Many people say they cannot tolerate wool against their skin. In reality, wool fibres vary greatly. Exploring the reasons for itching takes us all the way to what merino sheep eat and how they live.
Sheep that spend the whole year outdoors grazing on fresh vegetation produce long, fine and curly wool fibres. Merino sheep that spend part of the year indoors eating dried or prepared feed have shorter, coarser and stiffer fibres. Garments made from such fibres itch because the fibres are not soft enough to bend against the skin.
Woolpower works with merino sheep farms on the fertile lands of Patagonia and Uruguay and obtains wool from merino sheep raised there.
From happy sheep to happy people!
Easy care!
One of the natural properties of merino wool is its antibacterial action. This is convenient for wool wearers: the garment resists perspiration odours and does not need frequent washing (airing it outdoors or in a well-ventilated room is often enough). When washing is needed, a 60-degree programme and Woolpower wool detergent can be used. The lanolin in the detergent helps preserve the garment's desirable properties wash after wash, allowing Woolpower clothing to be worn for many years.
Durability!
The outer layer of Woolpower merino wool clothing contains a small proportion of synthetic fibres to extend its useful life. The surface in contact with the skin, however, is entirely natural and comfortable.
Please note: this is natural merino wool. The wool pills that develop over time with wear are proof of this. We call them our 'pills of pride' :), because practicality, simplicity and a slightly rugged look are characteristic of Woolpower wearers.
