Woolpower

Woolpower LITE Woolpower’s LITE range of base layers have been designed to offer a cooler alternative to the Woolpower Ullfrotte Original. The LITE fabric is flat-knitted which gives more direct contact against the skin than Woolpower’s Ullfrotte Original fabric. This means that heat is conducted more easily from the skin and out through the garment, which in turn, makes the LITE products perfect as a cooler alternative, for high-level activity and/or warmer temperatures. Woolpower LITE stretches the season for Woolpower garments and can be used all year round. A 19.5 micron merino wool is combined with 20% polyamide fibre to create a strong and durable garment, with function still the primary focus. There are no more seams than absolutely necessary and the fabric is a very soft, smooth and stretchy 1:1 rib knit fabric. Woolpower LITE range still provides insulation, but more importantly its Merino wool adapts to temperature and activity level.

Woolpower Ullfrotte Original 200 This is Woolpower's thinnest undergarment utilising their special Ullfrotté Original merino fabric. The garments are designed to be worn next to the skin as a moisture wicking base layer. The terry loops and overall loose knitting gives unique insulation compared to the weight of the fabric. By wearing the Ullfrotté 200 base layer close to your body you will benefit from all the best functions terry loop wool garments provide: insulation, perspiration transport and comfort. As an alternative to being the base layer, the Ullfrotté 200 garments can also work in combination with Woolpower LITE.

Woolpowet Ullfrotte Original 400 and 600 These thicker Woolpower garments are used as mid layers to increase insulation between the base layer and the wind and water resistant outer layer. They still feature the unique Woolpower Ullfrotté circular knit fabric with terry loops made from merino wool. The mid layer garments are usually used at lower temperatures and lower activity levels. The standard mid layer jackets are long in the back and in the cuffs, which also have thumb holes.

Woolpower Accessories The unique Woolpower Ullfrotté Original fabric is useful in so many ways and situations. Our range of merino accessories fills the need to keep smaller body parts warm. Keeping hands and heads warm is particularly important to maintain the body's right termperature balance.

Woolpower Socks Woolpower has been making socks for different temperatures, activities and situations since the early 1970's. This continued experience and deep knowledge about how important it is to have dry and warm feet is reflected in our wide range of products. Keeping your feet warm and dry is essential to stay comfortable. Whatever your needs, Woolpower's sock range keeps your feet in the best shape possible, all year round. Woolpower makes socks using our terry knit fabric Ullfrotté 200-800g and our flat-knit fabric LITE. Both knitting techniques create merino fabrics that provide excellent insulating functionality and retain warmth even when wet. The fabrics absorb and move perspiration away from the skin while still keeping you warm. They also contain polyamide, which increases shape stability and durability.

Woolpower Protection FR Range Wool is made of keratin, a substance that has low flammability and doesn't melt. Wearing a base layer that doesn't melt means it takes longer for heat to affect the body, which can reduce the severity of burn injuries. It is a challenge to make underwear that offers good insulation from the cold while also protecting the body according to ISO standardsfor PPE. You want to minimise the amount of oxygen in order to not feed the flames while trying to trap as much air as possible close to the body to optimise the insulation effect. At Woolpower we have worked hard to optimise the combination of insulation and protection. As a result, we have developed our Woolpower Protection product range, made for the high demands of the professional user and conforming to specific EN standards, such as Flame Resistance, Antistatic or Electric Arc. As part of our responsibility to the environment we don't add chemicals, such as Bromide, in order to achieve flame resistance. Instead we get it from the characteristics in the fibre composition. For maximum protection we recommend using our entire line of certified garments together with appropriately certified outer garments.
