Product description
Icebreaker functional underwear is great as a bottom layer for everyday wear in the winter months, but you can also use it from spring to autumn, when it is great for sports such as hiking, cycling, climbing or running. Merino wool is a light, natural material that can absorb moisture from the body and evaporate it into the air. A great feature of Merino is thermoregulation, since this material heats up in winter and cools in summer, and retains these properties even when wet. In addition, Merino protects against UV radiation. Merino wool is obtained in Australia and New Zealand, where sheep are raised on pastures and their wool reaches the highest quality.
Icebreaker functional underwear is easy to maintain. Merino wool is antibacterial and prevents the development of odors even after prolonged wear. Icebreaker functional laundry dosen't need to be washed often, but when it comes down to it, wash it in an automatic washing machine, preferably on the "Wool" program, or at a maximum of 30 ° C and reduced spin speed. Never use fabric softener or bleach. Do not put Icebreaker in the dryer, but let it hang dry on a clothesline or drying rack.

Maintenance
Hand washing
This product is ideal for handwashing, we recommend washing at max 30 ° C. When rinsing it is sufficient to gradually lower the water temperature so no precipitation or deformation occurs.Then wrinkle gently and dry in a horizontal position to avoid pulling out the material.
Washing in washing machine
We recommend that you only wash on a wool program that respects a more gentle wash.
Use fine detergent designed for wool, both for hand washing and washing.
Drying
Do not dry the product on heater, If the heating exceeds 30 ° C (which is quite common), the water contained in the knit is also heated above 30 ° C and the product shrinks in the same way as in the case of inappropriate washing.
During drying in a dryer we recommend using intelligent woolen balls to absorb moisture, reduce static charge, ease ironing, and even fulfill the softening function. They are also usable out of the drier so you can put them to a basket with laundry for a short duration, where they can also absorb moisture in the meantime.
Do not use fabric softener!
Attention!
Washing in warmer water (more than 30 ° C) and long machine washing will spoil the product.
This degraded product can not be reclaimed.
Why sheep wool?
Sheep wool is one of the oldest textile materials, along with silk from China and flax from Egypt. The sheep and the dog were the first friends of man. The sheep could feed a man and warm him up during the harsh winters. Traditional woolen materials still have an irreplaceable position in our closets today because of their unique properties, which no artificial material has ever surpassed.
Wool has the natural ability to transport moisture away from the body into the environment. It can absorb water up to 35% of its own weight. Once the ambient humidity is reduced, the water starts to evaporate again into the air. So the feeling of wet clothes comes much later than with other materials.
When wool absorbs moisture, it also generates heat. And you can feel pleasant dry heat despite bad weather. Conversely, when the ambient temperature rises, the wool stops generating heat. It is therefore an active thermoregulation that the wool is capable of. Due to the high lanolin content, the wool is self-cleaning. Wool fibers stimulate movement in the air and begin to expand and contract dynamically. In combination with lanolin, dirt will come to the surface itself.
