The benefits of wool clothing during winter sports
Many winter sports clothing is made of cotton. Logical, because cotton is breathable, airy and comfortable to wear. However, wool has a number of important advantages over cotton. Wool is known for its good temperature-regulating properties. You are always comfortably warm, whether it is freezing or you are descending the slopes in the sun. In addition, wool absorbs moisture without feeling clammy. It can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet.
In addition to good insulation and moisture absorption, wool has another advantage: it is dirt-repellent. The lanolin, the natural wool fat, repels dirt and moisture, which means that your woolen clothing does not have to go in the washing machine as often. That is really handy on your winter sports holiday.
Tip: work in layers.
To stay nice and warm, it is especially important to work in layers. One thick sweater provides less warmth than several thin, well-fitting layers of clothing. They know this at Woolpower and their range is completely adapted to this.
Many of the garments are available in different thicknesses: from the thin LITE versions that you wear directly on the skin, ideal for fanatic sports or in warmer weather, to the 600 or 800 versions that are extra warm and thick.
Because all clothing is available in different heat versions, you can combine it exactly as you want. If you are a cold person, choose the warmest versions, if you get too warm quickly, you may find the Lite versions more comfortable.
To complete your winter sports outfit, we also recommend the Woolpower accessories. With the stylish gloves, hat, balaclava or loose scarf you will stay nice and warm.

Thermal clothing made of wool
Woolpower is a Swedish brand that has been around for 50 years. Their clothing is not only wonderfully comfortable, but is also made with care and attention. For example, everything is produced in Sweden under good working conditions. Nice detail: each label of the clothing contains the name of the seamstress who made it.
The clothes are made of soft merino wool. Because clothes made of merino wool alone would be too fragile, it is mixed with polyamide, a synthetic fiber. This combination makes the clothes soft, warm and durable.
