MAPP Merino fibre buffers the body’s microclimate in changing conditions, maintaining comfort. MAPP Merino fibre has the added benefit that as it absorbs moisture, such as from a cool, damp environment, the fibres release a small but perceptible amount of heat.
This heat is known as ‘heat of sorption’ and is generated through a chemical reaction that occurs when the water vapour binds to the chemical structure of the MAPP Merino fibre. This acts to prevent the chilling of the wearer. It is the original 'intelligent' fibre.
