MATERIAL MERINO
Merino is a natural textile material with excellent properties. Merino wool perfectly retains heat even in the greatest frosts, it is perfectly breathable, but at the same time it did not require washing after each use. In addition, it has an excellent thermoregulatory function - it heats and cools exactly according to the current needs of the human body. The structure of the wave can bind air to itself. It creates a thin layer of air between the skin and the first layer, thus keeping the body warm. Merino wool naturally absorbs and evaporates moisture outwards. That is, even in summer and it is pleasant in it. In addition, merino wool contains lanolin, which has permanent antibacterial properties, thus preventing the formation of odors even when worn for a long time.
It is a natural, recyclable, renewable material that has a long service life and is easy to maintain. Thanks to its unique properties, merino is not designed specifically for specific conditions or activities. On the contrary, it is an absolutely perfect partner for year-round wear.
BAMBOO FIBER
Bamboo fiber is a raw material obtained from the stems of bamboo. Fibers for the textile processing industry are known only since the late 20th century. On the European market the yarn came up in 2007. These fibers are viscose fibers produced from bamboo wood. The fibers have a more pleasant feel than cotton. Fibers are more resistant to bacteria growth, by 60% comparing to cotton fibres. This is due to the content of a substance called "KUN".
Products made out of bamboo fibers are very pleasant to use, ensure optimum heat balance of the body, dry naturally and provide long-lasting fresh feeling.
TOP COCARBER® FIBER

FIBER TENCEL
Viscose fibre from Lenzing. It is of vegetable origin, obtained from raw wood. The production of the fibre itself is extremely environmentally friendly, thanks to a special cyclic production system. TENCEL® fabrics absorb more than cotton, are softer than silk and cooler than linen. The fibres absorb moisture quite naturally and then release it outwards. The smooth construction of TENCEL® fibres makes the knit particularly soft and comfortable in contact with the skin. The perfect moisture wicking system of these cellular fibres prevents the growth of bacteria.
Bacteria do not stand a chance with TENCEL®. The perfect moisture management of this cellulosic fiber is responsible for the reduced bacteria growth.
