No matter what your New Year's resolution is, you should vow not to be the stinky person on the trip. With Ibex Wool, you can keep that promise! Wool is naturally anti-microbial, which basically means get your base layer as sweaty as you want, throw it over a chair to dry and repeat. No laundering necessary on your next hut to hut trip, or daily routines of workouts and washing.

What allows wool to have this amazing quality? To be honest it is being debated by wool scientists, but we all think it is because of the unique way wool transports moisture. The "stink" of poly pro and other synthetics comes from bacterial growth (the same that occurs when you forget deodorant) on your clothing. With wool those microbes just can't form the same stinky colonies that they can in other more accommodating fabrics. 

So this year do yourself (and the people around you) a favor, wear some Ibex wool next to your skin and get away from the stink!

This is perhaps one of the coolest features of wool, because it's kinda like having super hero powers or something. Wool is unable to hold a flame, -aka catch on fire like some of those other fabrics out there (cough, polypro, cough). Have you ever been around a campfire and had errant spark fly out and hit your old synthetic fleece, leaving your nice pullover with a big 'ol burn hole? Well, not going to happen with your wool on, just tell that garment ruining spark buh-hye.
