Briefs Xlong W's LITE

The Woolpower Briefs Xlong W's Lite is a base layer for women that offers extra warmth due to the long legs that come just above the knee. It is provided with a soft elastic band and has a flat weave. It is made with minimal seams, so it won't cause any irritation. The Xlong is made of soft, flexible and elastic material that does not absorb unpleasant body odors.

Merino wool has the advantage that unpleasant odors do not linger. It is therefore not necessary to wash the clothing, not even before first use. Woolpower even recommends just letting the clothes air out. If you still want to wash the clothes, you can do so with special wool detergent. You can even wash the clothes at 60℃. This is because the wool is first treated in the 'superwash', which creates a pre-shrinkage.

Material

Merino wool

Merino wool comes from merino sheep and is generally known for its high quality. Merino sheep have much more hair than other sheep. Approximately ten times as many hairs grow per square meter as an average sheep. The wool is therefore thinner and longer, feels very soft and does not itch. Merino sheep live in areas with large temperature fluctuations from -20 ºC to over 35 ºC . Their fur regulates heat. As a result, merino wool keeps you warm in the cold, but it breathes well. In addition, merino wool has an excellent moisture-regulating and self-cleaning effect, so you will not easily suffer from perspiration spots and odors on your clothing.

Polyamide

Polyamide, also called nylon, is a synthetic material made from petroleum. Polyamide is a strong fabric that does not tear or crease easily. It is light, elastic, easy to fold and dries quickly. A disadvantage of polyamide is that it does not absorb moisture well.
