"...cold southerly, pouring rain, mud and grit. The kit was simply amazing. Never got too hot or too cold. Perfect. The best thing is you don't have to take on and off a rain jacket. No need with the material. You can't get it off of me..."
- Daniel Dean, Untouched World™ Test Team Rider
"Keeping the sun and hot wind off the skin with a layer of wool works a treat."

The Benefits of Mountainsilk™ Recycle
-
Temperature regulation – Mountainsilk™ Recycle creates its own microclimate next to your skin, constantly working to keep your temperature in perfect balance. In a hot dry environment, Mountainsilk™ Recycle is ideal as it slows the rate of evaporation of body water, keeping you cool and comfortable. In colder weather, Mountainsilk™ Recycle draws excess moisture away from your body through thousands of microporous cells, and expels it keeping you warm and dry.
-
Moisture management – Each individual Merino fibre in Mountainsilk™ Recycle is coated in a natural, water repellent, wax-like substance that actively moves moisture from your skin to the microporous outer-fabric structure, delivering optimal breathability. This means you stay a lot drier much longer than in other fabrics.
-
Wind resistant - Mountainsilk™ Recycle is wind resistant, preventing the effect of wind-chill on the body’s vital temperature control mechanisms, thereby reducing wind-induced stress and associated exhaustion.
-
Water resistant - The outer layer of Mountainsilk™ Recycle is water resistant, keeping you dry and comfortable for longer in extreme weather conditions.
-
Anti-microbial – Mountainsilk™ Recycle is machine washable, but you won’t need to wash it as much as other fabrics, because it is naturally anti-microbial, meaning it stays fresh for longer and resists smells.
-
Durable – Mountainsilk™ Recycle keeps its shape after a lifetime of wear.
-
UV resistant – Mountainsilk™ Recycle has naturally built-in UV resistance - essential protection for your skin from the sun’s harmful rays.
-
Soft to wear – The special qualities of Mountainsilk™ Recycle lie in its softness and strength with absolutely no itch or prickle.
-
Good for the environment – Mountainsilk™ Recycle is made from a unique sustainable blend of 100% recycled polyester and 100% sustainably sourced Merino.
-
Zque Certified – Mountainsilk™ Recycle is Zque certified, a sustainable certification ensuring that the sustainably sourced Merino is grown to specified animal welfare, environmental, social and economic standards. Growers follow guidelines governing soil conservation and the use and development of land, air and water resources. Zque provides a transparent traceability scheme that allows us to identify and track Zque fibre back to the farm.
-
No mulesing – As animal welfare is extremely important to us, we only use non-mulesed Merino.  |
