Highlights & Technologies:

MERINO WOOL:
Compared to traditional wool, this wool offers a particularly fine fibre. Because of the extreme weather conditions merino sheep are exposed to in nature, the wool has strong thermoregulation properties and is capable of wicking moisture away from the body particularly fast. Thus, it creates a warm protective layer for the entire body, even when wet. In contrast to traditional wool, merino wool is not scratchy even when wet. Thus, merino is perfect as a next-to-skin layer. Yet, merino wool is also ideal for warm summer days since its high breathability has a cooling effect. Thanks to a natural sun protection factor, high comfort and fire resistance, merino wool is a very popular fibre.

LAVALAN:
The functional padding consists largely of European virgin wool. The wool in the product is traceable and comes from farms in Europe that rely on a regional supply chain and species-appropriate animal husbandry, without any mulesing. Biodegradable fibres (polyactide, PLA) made from renewable raw materials are used to reinforce the wool. The proportion of PLA used varies depending on the area of application of the padding: lavalan – the wool insulation.

MULESING:
Mulesing is a widespread surgical procedure in Australia, practised in sheep farming for the production of wool. In this procedure, the sensitive skin on the hindquarters of lambs, which has many wrinkles due to breeding, is cut off with a sharp knife and usually without anaesthesia.
The wool for this product comes from sheep that have not been subjected to mulesing, thus setting an example against the torturous procedure.

WARM LINE:
Gloves in this collection from CHIBA are made for cool, windy days and with a focus on ideal handlebar contact in changeable weather. These gloves are characterised by comfort as well as strategically selected materials for use in autumn and winter. The functional  gloves in this category are easy to recognise in the shop thanks to the orange marking with the WARM LINE lettering on the label.
