Unique properties
At the same time, the properties of wool are more high-tech than any other natural or synthetic material used in clothing today. It insulates very effectively, is light weight, retains its insulating properties even when damp, and ventilates efficiently, making it suitable for both static and active situations, i.e., both for rest and movement. Add to that the fact that wool has a self-cleaning process that means you don't need to wash it as often as other materials to keep the garment fresh.
