warmth

Merino wool tights for extra warmth, 190 g/m2.

abrasion resistance

Use of wool fibre surrounded by polyamide yarn for protection.

moisture management

The high absorbency of wool helps keep the body dry

odour control

The component limits perspiration odours. Laboratory test ISO 17299-3.

freedom of movement

We added 4% elastane for superior elasticity and support.

breathability

Merino wool is breathable and helps maintain the right body temperature.

softness

86% ultra-fine Merino wool (18.5 microns). It is very soft.

weight

Tights weigh just 175 g in size L. 190 g/sqm fabric.

How did we increase the durability of these merino wool tights?

Use of a BETA-SPUN yarn structure in which the polyamide threads coat the Merino wool fibres and protect them from rubbing and cuts without affecting their properties.

Sizing and fit

These tights have a close fit to help the transfer of moisture to the outside of the fabric.
4% elastane added for comfort and freedom of movement.

Test

In November 2018, 8 trekkers (4 men and 4 women) and part of the Forclaz design team, tested these tights for 4 days in the southern French Alps (Lus La Croix Haute). You can expect wind, rain, a bit of snow, a bivouac... and a lot of fun! We were then able to make the final modifications and validate it for mountain trekking use.
