Description

The Zip Turtleneck LITE from Woolpower is an elastic thermal shirt suitable for wearing as an under layer. This thermal shirt is not only very insulating, but also extremely comfortable. The shirt features a zippered collar to keep your neck wonderfully warm as well. The longitudinal seams have been moved to the back so that the shirt fits as comfortably as possible. In addition, the back of the shirt is slightly longer to prevent a cold lower back.

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 clothes, you can do so with special wool detergent. You can then wash the clothes 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.
