Range uses innovative merino wool fabric
16/12/2016
The products, which includes short sleeve T-Shirts for men and women, a men’s long sleeve pullover and a women’s hooded jacket, are suitable for high-intensity outdoor activities like hiking and climbing, but can also be used as casualwear.
The fabric, which is known as Corespun Merino, is created by wrapping Merino wool fibres around a durable multifilament nylon core. It features 87% Australian merino wool and 13% nylon. The combination gives the comfort of Merino wool and the strength of nylon, the company said.
Caroline Machado Campos, CEO of Mountain Designs, explained: “Corespun Merino holds onto all the softness and technical benefits of Merino wool but is 40% stronger than 100% Merino wool of the same weight. The durable nylon core of the thread makes the fabric more resistant to tears and abrasion as well as providing greater stretch and recovery. This means it lasts longer and can handle a bit of tough love on the trail or climb.”
