Description

The Woolpower Balaclava LITE is ideal when engaging in sporting activities during cold days. Whether that’s skiing or a brisk hike, the balaclava provides optimal protection in cold weather. It is made of a blend of merino wool and synthetic fibers, making it antibacterial and quick-drying. The flat seams prevent chafing, making it good to wear under a helmet. Because the balaclava has one opening, it can be modeled to completely cover the head except for the eyes. The bottom of the opening can be worn either over the nose or over the chin, depending on weather conditions and your personal preference.

Merino wool has the advantage that unpleasant odors do not linger. So it is not necessary to wash the clothes, even for a first use. Woolpower even recommends simply airing the clothing. If you still want to wash the clothing, you can do so with
special wool detergent.
You can then wash the clothing even at 60℃. This is because the wool is first treated in the “superwash,” creating a pre-shrinkage.

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 large temperature fluctuations of -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.
