This wool skinwear is characterized by its non-itchy warmth. Through innovative spinning processes and technologies, it offers users a warm, aesthetically pleasing and comfortable wearing experience.
The product utilizes Ubras's in-warm technology in conjunction with a cheese-sanding process. Following 48 meticulous sandings, the fabric attains a soft and fluffy texture akin to a cloud. This process ensures fine sanding texture while effectively retaining air, satisfying the user's lightweight, warm skinwear requirement. In wear testing, the fabric's far-infrared functionality elevates the body surface temperature by 2.2 degrees. Simultaneously, it further releases heat energy during the processes of air capture and the body's moisture evaporation. The combined effects of these four functions effectively ensure the fabric's warmth.
Additionally, the product adopts an electrospinning process and electromagnetic field devices; wool is blended by wrapping it in other fibres during the blending process. In this context, it achieves a soft, smooth and delicate feeling without puncturing even when wearing wool on the skin. Moreover, the moisture content of the fabric is approximately equal to that of pure cotton, which enhances its effect of moisture absorption and breathability, preventing dryness and minimizing static electricity. A soft and comfortable touch is guaranteed by infusing the product with Merino wool, encompassing 17 amino acid components and exhibiting a fineness equal to one-fifth of a hair's diameter. This provides the anti-bacterial, anti-dust mite, warmth, and moisturizing effects for this skinwear while offering additional skincare benefits.
