Lavalan® wool insulation
Pure nature and high performance
For the thermal insulation of our quilted jackets, we use Lavalan® sport wool wadding, a natural insulating material made of 90% alpine wool fibers and 10% bio-polymer. It dries much faster than down. It is easy to clean and recycles without any chemical additives. The high quality wool comes directly from responsible European farms. Fleeces are treated in the EU to ensure a minimum of transport. Lavalan® sport is traceable by FairTrace, from sheep to consumer.
