Showing up every day at the pilot meeting to educate us about the
"new" wool

http://woolerina.com.au/

This is a local Forbes business. Warwick has come to each pilot meeting to show
off his lovely Merino wool garments. The fabric is amazing. So comfortable,
thin, and lightweight. The clothes are made at a local farm. It was 100%
Australian made five years ago, but with all the scouring factories closing, he
now has to send the wool to Kuala Lumpur to get the wool carded. Otherwise
fabric and clothes made right here in Forbes. The wool itself is unbelievably
fine and light.

Australian Made 100% Australian Merino clothing for men, women,
children & babies. Woolerina garments are ideal worn as base layer or as thermal
underwear, but with basic styling and great colours, they are perfect on their
own as a mid or outer layer. Woolerina garments are especially practical in cold
and wet conditions including snow skiing, hiking, cycling, horse riding, biking
& camping. - See more at:

Breathability – wool has a natural ability to breathe, ensuring you feel more
comfortable over across a greater range of temperatures.

Wool's Low Odour Retention capabilities mean your friends will still talk to you
after a couple of days in your Woolerina clothing, unlike when wearing synthetic
fibres!

Wool is also an Anti-Microbial Fibre reducing the risk of allergies and illness
associated with skin pathogens.

Wool is a natural Insulator chiefly due to the result of elastic, crimpy,
serrated fibres which form small air pockets in the fabric; these air pockets
are the insulators. Natural insulating properties ensure Woolerina garments are
practical in extreme environments, both hot and cold.

Wool is Water Repellent and has unique Water Absorption capabilities. Wool can
absorb up to one third it's weight in moisture before it begins to feel wet.
Paradoxically, due to the scale structure, spilled liquids run off.

One of wool's greatest and most unique properties is that even when wet, wool
provides warmth. Wool generates heat as moisture is absorbed, this heat then
allows the wool to dry. This unique combination of properties is one of the
reasons wool is so popular as a layer for outdoor and adventure activities.

Merino wool has greater stretch and elasticity than most other fibres. This
Stretch Comfort makes it easy to move and ensures incredibly comfort! This
feature makes Woolerina garments ideal for layering.

Wool's elasticity ensures garments are durable and long lasting, making them an
economical choice and more cost effective than many other fibres.

Wool is Fire Retardant due to a high nitrogen to oxygen ratio. When great heat
is applied the fibre will smoulder but does not burn readily. This property
greatly reduces the risk of the wearer being burnt making it an ideal fibre for
babies and the elderly as well as those in emergency services, such as
fire-fighters.

Wool is naturally Anti-Static due to the fibre’s ability to retain moisture
which reduces static resistance. While this is a great safety feature, it also
eliminates the “clingy” look which so often occurs with man-made fibres.

Wool is Acid Resistant – The fibre resists degradation when exposed to most
acids. This safety feature makes Woolerina garments the ideal choice in
workplaces where use of chemicals is required.

Woolerina garments are Machine Washable as they have been “Super Wash” treated.
This “Super Wash” treatment ensures your garments can be washed in the washing
machine and won’t shrink; the fit of your garments will remain the same for the
life of the garment.

Many of the properties of the merino wool fibre combine to reduce dirt and
soiling leading to less washing and therefore, more wearing!
