Lavalan® - The Wool Insulation

lavalan® - the wool insulation is a fibrefill made from 100% natural and renewable raw materials. It combines the unique properties of European virgin wool with the easy-care features of corn-based PLA fibres. Quite often synthetic materials are used to insulate clothing, whereas nature already offers highly functional and complex raw materials. Wool is one such natural “high-tec” fibre and possesses a number of advantages: Wool is able to uptake and release moisture vapour up to 36% of its dry weight, while being water-repellent at the same time. This makes lavalan highly breathable, quick drying and keeps you warm even when wet or sweating. Since wool is thermoregulating it also provides a cooling effect and prevents one from overheating even during intense exercise or unexpected warm weather conditions. So wool is able to always deliver comfortable, cozy warmth regardless of activity levels or altering temperatures. Another important aspect is the odour neutralization. Since wool wicks moisture away, it can never build up the bacteria that causes bad odours, for a longer use without unnecessary wash cycles, i.e. during travels, outdoor adventures and several-day mountain trips. The wool is solely sourced from European countries after highest quality and animal welfare standards. The sheep graze in the idyllic surroundings of the Austrian and Swiss Alps and they are kept under natural conditions on pastures in Germany and Scandinavia. European wool is mulesing-free. Even at the end of its lifecycle our filling doesn’t turn into waste because lavalan – the wool insulation is renewable, recyclable and biodegradable.
