When it comes to high-performance insulation, HD® Wool is setting new standards. Beyond being environmentally responsible and fully traceable, HD® Wool also delivers exceptional performance benefits designed to support active lifestyles.
Why HD® Wool Stands Out
Breathable Comfort
Wool’s natural structure allows it to absorb and release moisture vapour whilst resisting liquid sweat, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
Antibacterial Properties
Wool’s waxy coating inhibits the growth of bacteria, mould, and mildew, keeping garments fresher.
Thermoregulatory Efficiency
Wool absorbs up to 33% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet, adapting to changing conditions.
Durable and Resilient
Keratin-based wool is strong, elastic, and long-lasting—ideal for activewear.
Odour Resistance
Wool absorbs odour molecules, reducing the need for frequent washing.
Proven Performance Through Wearer Trials
Wearer trials conducted at the Carnegie School of Sport demonstrated the outstanding performance benefits of HD® Wool when compared to polyester insulation:
· Temperature Regulation: Maintains average skin temperature 3% lower than polyester.
· Sweat Management: Manages sweat for 95% longer than polyester.
· Enhanced Comfort: Helps maintain a lower temperature between the base layer and jacket lining compared to polyester.
These findings highlight how HD® Wool optimises comfort and performance in demanding environments, making it the ideal choice for outdoor and activewear brands. More details can be found here.
