Aclima’s HotWool: a cut above the rest…
Aclima believes in taking a different approach to using wool in their layering garments – different mixes for different jobs. Aclima HotWool is a mixture of a minimum of 65% Merino Wool blended with at least 30% technical fibres making a thicker and more durable midlayer, which is also versatile enough to be used as a base layer. The Merino Wool helps regulate your body temperature, resists body odour and will keep you warm even when wet. Available in two weights: 400g [which is extremely warm] and 230g, the Aclima HotWool range is suitable for a large range of sports and outdoor activities.
Aclima HotWool can be machine washed at 60°C unlike most wool being washed at 30°C or less. The terry loops on the inside of Aclima’s HotWool products trap body heat, thus helping to maintain a steady body temperature and comfort for the wearer. The garments are warm, durable and naturally flame retardant, and are widely used by the Norwegian and Swedish armies.
