MERINO WOOL/SILK: One of the most important properties of merino/silk wool is hydrophobicity (thermoregulation) through a thermodynamic process of heat exchange. In cold and humid conditions, an exothermic process is generated which releases body heat and vice versa. In warm and dry environmental conditions, it loses the water vapour retained in the fibres towards the outside, absorbing the heat from the human body and producing a sensation of freshness. Characteristics of merino/silk wool: -Biodegradable (environmentally friendly) -Ecological (renewable and recyclable) -Fire resistance (burns briefly and extinguishes itself) -Voluminosity (high air content inside) -UV protection (natural due to the presence of keratin) -Odour absorption (merino wools have bactericidal properties) -Antistatic (the mixture with silk, unlike synthetic fabrics, allows it not to be charged with static energy) LYCRA: "NILIT bodyfresh" treatment is an antibacterial treatment for bad odours. This antibacterial additive added directly on the polymer retains the antibacterial properties after several washes.
