Women's merino leggings beige ASTRID SAFA

Product detailed description

There's nothing nice about having wet clothes clinging to you from sweat. Whatever happens, merino keeps you dry, cools and warms at the same time, wicks sweat and dries quickly.

Merino wool has natural protection against sunlight thanks to its microscopic fibres, which are very fine and dense. These properties of the wool help block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and thus protect the skin from sunburn. The UPF value of merino wool ranges from 20-50 (cotton 5-10) depending on the density and thickness of the knitting fibre. This means that merino wool provides a medium to high level of protection from the sun's rays.

Attention, even after prolonged wear, women's merino leggings do not smell of sweat. Merino wool has the ability to wick moisture away from the skin and keep it dry, which is key to minimizing the sensation of dampness and unpleasant odors associated with sweating. This means that when sweat is shed on the skin, the merino fibres quickly absorb it and move it away from the body, preventing moisture and odour build-up.

Merino fibers contain natural antimicrobials that prevent the growth of bacteria on the fibers and also help minimize unpleasant odors associated with sweating. Thanks to these properties, women's merino wool leggings are very popular for sports and outdoor activities.

The material of the leggings is 100% merino wool.

• Merino is a natural material derived from the wool of merino sheep, which has excellent thermal properties, is soft, lightweight and breathable. Merino regulates temperature perfectly and adapts to the surrounding conditions. Simply put, this means that it will keep you nice and warm in winter, but will cool you down nicely in hot weather. Merino wool fibres contain natural substances that absorb moisture and release it when the body is too warm. This helps maintain a comfortable body temperature in a variety of conditions.

How to care for merino?

We always recommend washing clothes in a suitable wool detergent before first use. Especially if you choose a detergent with lanolin, the clothes are immediately softer and do not bite. When washing clothes for the first time, wash them separately or with similarly coloured garments, as the colour may be released, causing staining of otherwise coloured clothes.

Clothes can be machine washed using the wool programme at 30°C. Use only wool detergent and wash the garment inside out. Never add fabric softener or bleach to your washing machine, which can damage your favourite clothes. Do not use the dryer, hang the clothes out to dry.This care will keep your garment in beautiful condition.

Do not delay in removing the more noticeable stains, we recommend pre-washing as soon as possible using bile soap in cold water.

Merino wool is a very fine natural material and its durability is affected by the way and intensity of use.
