AQUASHIELD®, the waterproof and windproof membrane ensures a warm and dry climate inside the glove
The foam structure ensures that water vapour can easily escape through the membrane and that no drops of water can penetrate inside through the fabric
lavalan®:
The wool comes exclusively from sheep all over Europe
They graze in the idyllic surroundings of the Austrian and Swiss Alps or they are kept in natural conditions on vast pastures in Germany, Norway and Sweden
These sheep always have access to a pure and diversified nature, clean water and sprouting grass
Even though temperatures in the mountains or in the harsh Scandinavian climate can vary from minus degrees at night up to 30° during the day, their wool protects them against the elements, keeping them cool when it’s warm and providing cozy warmth in the cold
Traceable: the independent Swiss company EGOTRACE certifies the lavalan supply chain, so they can prove the origin of the wool from sheep to the finished product
– true to the motto “from sheep to shop”. This allows critical consumers to track the wool’s way back to the collection point, which lavalan are most proud of.
Watch:
Consists exclusively of natural, renewable and biodegradable raw materials
European virgin wool with short transport distances,
Production in Germany
Sheep farming makes a valuable contribution to landscape conservation
Direct contact with sheep farmers and high animal welfare standards
Wool provides pleasant warmth, regulates temperature, is breathable and neutralizes odor
Wool is warm even when damp
Human’s perspiration in the hand area is strong which quite often leads to condensation and as a consequence to cold and clammy hands.
Here, the wool’s capacity to absorb and release moisture vapour up to 36% of its dry weight comes into complete effect
In addition, lavalan® is water repellent at the same time
lavalan® is machine washable
Before manufacturing, the wool gets scoured (washed) at traditional factories in Belgium and the United Kingdom, where they still know all about the gentle cleaning of this precious raw material
The wool is washed at 70ºC degrees and thus sterilised
Plant residues, sheep dung and lanolin are removed in order to get a clean, soft and consistent lavalan wool filling
Back at Baur Vliesstoffe in Germany about 60 experienced employees with a knack for wool take care of the subsequent lavalan production
