70% NZ Super-Fine (17 micron) Merino wool

Only 2% of the merino sheep in NZ produce 17 micron wool. Wool fibres trap air to reduce heat loss yet each fibre can breathe to prevent overheating.

20% NZ Possum fur

The unique hollow core of the fibres traps warmth without being heavy - like bamboo. The only other animal similar to this is the polar bear, arctic fox and alpaca.

10% Mulberry silk

Soft against the skin, resists against tension, hypoallergenic qualities - stronger than steel and can stretch to double its length.
