The garments are hand-made in the UK to our own stringent quality specifications, and are essential when staying dry, warm and comfortable is of paramount
The outer layer of the fabric is made from tightly knitted double ply yarn, a blend of wool and polyacryl. The layer provides excellent thermal properties -- knitted fabrics trap more air than conventional wovens -- as well as good wind resistance thanks to the tightness of the knit. It is also water resistant. Wool is well known for its thermal properties, but tends to absorb and trap water. By blending it with polyacryl, however, we produce a fabric that handles like wool, but doesn't stay wet. Additionally, this combination of hardwearing yarn and tight knit makes our outer layer pill-resistant and virtually un-snagable, shrugging off bramble thickets and blackthorn bushes with ease.
At the technical heart of the tripe layer system is its therma-dry filling. Conventional quilt fillers can hold dampness in the fibres themselves; Quiltknit overcomes this problem by making its therma-dry filling from almost totally non-absorbent polypropylene fibres -- it never becomes damp. This low density filling not only provides excellent thermal insulation, it is also an exceptionally efficient translocator of moisture, rapidly moving it away from the wearer through the fabric to evaporate from the outer layer.
The inner layer is knitted from a wholly polyacryl yarn, to avoid the discomfort of wool next to the skin. This fabric also translocates moisture quickly away from the wearer, and is more loosely knitted than the outer layer to maximise both warmth and softness.
