Here at XTM HQ we strive to produce products that perform optimally without negatively impacting our environment. With our Australian merino range that is exactly what we have achieved.

PRODUCT PERFORMANCE

We only use 100% Australian Merino because we know that Australia is the world’s best producer of fine merino and has been for some time and the majority of our collection is also Woolmark Certified. Any product bearing the iconic Woolmark logo has been independently tested as a high quality woollen product with guaranteed fibre content.

NATURAL PERFORMANCE QUALITIES OF AUSSIE MERINO

1.     BREATHABLE

The fibre has a large capacity to absorb moisture/sweat next to the skin and release it as vapour, keeping you cool and dry during exertion.

2.     TEMPERATURE REGULATING

Australian Merino wool is an active fabric. It reacts to changes in external and body temperatures. Keeping you warm when it is cold outside but also releasing heat and moisture when it’s hot. This makes it the ultimate 365 day a year product

3.     SOFT TO SKIN

Traditional wool was known to be coarse and super itchy next to skin. Merino however is a super fine fibre which makes it non itch and luxuriously soft on skin.

4.     ODOUR REDUCING

The fibre can remove the odour molecules from your sweat and locks them into the fibres. By not releasing them into the air nobody will know you stink. They are however released during the washing process

5.     UV PROTECTION

It has a naturally high UV protection of 50+ which is much higher than most synthetics and cotton. Have you ever seen a sun burnt sheep? Us neither.

6.     BREATHABLE

Australian Merino has a large capacity to absorb moisture/sweat next to the skin and release it as vapour, keeping you cool and dry during exertion.

7.     TEMPERATURE REGULATING

The fibre reacts to changes in external and body temperatures. Keeping you warm when it is cold outside but also releasing heat and moisture when it’s hot. This makes it the ultimate 365 day a year product.

8.     SOFT TO SKIN

ETHICAL BENEFITS OF CHOOSING AUSSIE MERINO

NATURAL

Australian Merino is a natural fibre. The Merino fleece has evolved to produce a fibre that has become one of the most effective natural forms of all weather protection known to man.

RENEWABLE

Every year Australian Merino sheep produce a new fleece, making their wool a renewable fibre source. Australian woolgrowers actively work to improve efficiency

BIODEGRADABLE

When a natural Merino fibre is disposed of it takes only a few years to decompose.

ANIMAL FRIENDLY

The Merino fibre grows naturally on the sheep. In summer the sheep actually enjoy being shorn as it helps them to cool down in the warmer climate. All XTM Merino is certified non-mulesed.
