Armadillo Merino®, the importance of the rediscovery of wool in contact with the skin:
Your skin is your body’s sensory organ that senses pressure, pain, heat and cold and provides vital functions including body temperature regulation and as a barrier against toxins.
An increase in the rate of sweating can reduce operational effectiveness due to dehydration.
Synthetic clothing worn in contact with the skin can melt, drip and be flammable causing injury and dehydration.
An effective but natural fabric in contact with the skin is essential in every work context as well as in everyday life.
All layers of PPE are designed to protect your body, but your choice of skin-contact clothing has the greatest impact on the wearer’s safety, performance and comfort. The first layer is not a stand-alone garment, but it should be an integral component when considering a layered clothing system.
Careful consideration must also be made for the material chosen for the skin contact layer for your last line of defense.
Cotton and synthetic yarns are widely used for skin contact clothing, but wool has recently been reintroduced. Cotton is soft on the skin but retains a lot of moisture.
Breathable synthetic garments have been shown to be ineffective at managing sweat under a layered system and instead contribute to increased moisture build-up on the skin increasing the risk of steam burns during a flash over.
Nylon and polyester clothing also melt and drip at very low temperatures causing painful and potentially life-changing injuries.
The sheep’s wool of choice for Armadillo Merino®
Wool has been an effective cold barrier for hundreds of years, but it was unpopular as the fabrics were itchy and heavy to wear.
Merino wool fabrics are very different.
Merino is a sheep breed with a superfine wool fiber that is prized for softness and remarkable multi-attribute properties.
For the past forty years, merino breeders have been breeding sheep selectively for the finest wool fibers.
These flocks are now producing 18.5 micron superfine wool, which is as fine as cashmere, and when combined with the latest spinning and knitting technologies make the most advanced skin-friendly garments.
Merino is the performance fiber offered by Nature.
