Innovative new textile set to take fashion world by storm
Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) has partnered with technology giant INVISTA to create Merino Coolmax®, a revolutionary textile with enhanced performance attributes.
The Merino Coolmax® blend creates a textile that can be used in anything from active outdoor apparel through to intimate lingerie and haute couture designs.
Coolmax® has been designed to move moisture away from the body and enhance fabric drying rate, to keep the wearer feeling cool and dry. Free of chemical treatment, the fabric is breathable, soft, machine washable and has excellent drape.
Mrs Charlotte Mills, Product Development at INVISTA said “The benefits of Australian Merino wool were the ultimate match for the Coolmax® fibre. The natural durability, moisture absorbent qualities, and luxurious softness of Merino add a new dimension to Coolmax®.”
Lightweight and durable, Merino Coolmax® brings together nature’s best with the latest man-made technology.
