1,200,000,000 sheep cannot be mistaken - they use wool all year round.
A new generation of functional underwear. Otara ™ merino fibers are "temperature-intelligent". That is, they are cool when you sweat and heat when you freeze. New Zealand merino wool represents the world's finest wool, ensuring you the highest comfort in every imaginable activity and weather.
Otara ™ is a 100% natural product with all the properties that merino wool can offer. It has a long shelf life during use, is recyclable and biodegradable at the end of the product life cycle.
We only use wool produced in environmentally friendly farming with free range animals. The farms are chosen for their commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability in agricultural practices - and of course also for their excellent quality of merino wool. Geoff Anderson's philosophy is reflected in the manufacturers' dedication to environmentally friendly fabric preparation and finishing processes.
We know that precisely this wool quality is exquisite and in all modesty does not exist better. Our wool comes from herds from New Zealand's Southern Alps. Here the sheep move freely from the warm valleys to the snow-covered peaks. Precisely this unique environment has meant that the wool has adapted to a huge temperature jump. The result is a unique and significantly finer fiber. Our merino is so comfortable that even babies can have it directly on the skin.
The fine and soft fibers mean that the strength is not as you know it from synthetic materials. Therefore, be careful not to overstretch or tear excessively in the material. The fine weaving and low material weight, on the other hand, makes the product extremely suitable for all kinds of activity and provides a convincing transport of excess heat and moisture. The fine fibers (17.5 microns) also provide faster drying time, and the clothing can be used all year round without boiling over.
Are you proven that Otara ™ is not a "bulldozer" but rather a Farrari, then you will enjoy the product much longer. Wool underwear is also a preferred meal for moths, so be aware.

Does not smell
Fact: You sweat. The natural antibacterial properties of Merino wool are without chemical finishing. Each small Otara ™ merino fiber consists of overlapping scales which, in connection with the high moisture absorption, provide a poor environment for bacterial growth (reduces odor development).
Comfort
The tingling of the skin is the result of coarse, thick fibers that irritate the skin's nerves. You know that from traditional wool. Otara ™ s fine fibers ensure that irritation does not occur.
Humidity control
Otara ™ merino fibers have a complex structure. Hydrophilic (water-containing) internal structure, known as the cortex and a hydrophobic (water-repellent) exterior. Otara ™ will absorb sweat - without you feeling damp and uncomfortable - and it is naturally water resistant.
Natural air conditioning
The Merino fibers create a comfortable microclimate under changing conditions. The fibers further have the advantage of absorbing moisture from, for example, cool, humid environments.
The fibers release a small but noticeable amount of heat. This heat is produced by a chemical reaction which occurs when the water vapor binds to the chemical structure of the merino fibers. It prevents cooling.
Therefore, we also call it the "intelligent" fiber.
Easy to maintain
The surface properties mean that dirt and dust can easily be removed. Soil particles are not "held" by the clothes due to the natural electric charge. Otara ™'s moisture-absorbing properties mean that wrinkles and folds are quickly removed when used. It is an easy form of care, especially when traveling.
Warm when you need it
The natural chemical process that binds water in the wool generates heat when the water is bound (absorption) and absorbs heat during moisture loss (desorption). This ability to absorb water in the chemical structure prevents the fabric from feeling wet or clammy. For comparison, synthetic fibers can only absorb moisture up to 5% of their weight.
