Mons Royale and its merino wool
Why merino wool? The answer is very simple and can be summed up in two words: performance and sustainability.
Merino sheep are the first sheep to be bred. These woolly characters live high in the mountainous hills of New Zealand, where the climate is extreme, unforgiving, and not hospitable. When it’s hot: it’s blazing. When it’s cold: it’s an icy bite.
But these woolly characters like these places and the wool that covers their bodies, developed through years and years of Darwinian adaptation, guarantees them a peaceful life grazing the grass of these places enchanted by the extreme climate. Merino Wool is the natural fiber with the best temperature regulating performance because it has evolved to withstand extremes. A slow and continuous evolution that makes it extremely high-performing and incredibly effective at doing what it’s supposed to do: protect against the cold, repair moisture and regulate body temperature.
The performance of Mons Royale merino wool
Anti-odor: The curled structure of the fibers means bacteria can’t stick to the wool, so merino wool garments stay fresher longer. They smell less, “working” well even in prolonged use.
Thermoregulator: Merino wool is nature’s air conditioner, when it’s cold it releases heat by absorbing the moisture produced by the body, keeping you warm. When it is hot the process is reversed and has a cooling effect.
Breathable: Merino wool has a power to absorb moisture within the fiber very high. This capacity means that sweat, the moisture produced by the body under stress, is systematically wicked away, keeping the skin dry.
Soft: The extreme fineness of Merino wool fibers makes it super soft. This means it is perfect for underwear, technical underwear and any garment that is light and soft to wear.
Sustainable: Mons Royale Merino wool is a natural material, certified according to the strictest Z.Q dictates that guarantee the well-being of animals and the sustainability and traceability of the entire production chain. It is also 100% biodegradable
