The Woolpower 800 is an insulating and comfortable sock made of merino wool. This sock is the thickest sock in the Woolpower range and therefore also the most insulating sock. Because the sock is made of merino wool, it insulates well against cold and heat so that your feet remain comfortable. In addition, the sock is antibacterial and therefore hardly needs to be washed, so that you can wear the socks day in and day out!
Woolpower clothing is mostly unisex and is spacious for both men and women. In addition, it can become a little more spacious when worn. The insulating effect of Woolpower clothing comes into its own when it is close to the skin. That is why it is recommended for at least ladies to take one size smaller. For a correct size determination, please refer to the size tables at the top of this page.
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, 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.
