Material

Tencel

-extracted from raw material wood

-more absorbent than cotton, softer than silk and cooler than linen

-moisture control: absorbs moisture completely and naturally and then releases it to the outside

-hygiene: the perfect moisture management of this cellulosic fiber is responsible for the reduced bacteria growth, bacteria is reduced, moisture is immediately transported into the inside of the fiber thus, no moisture film which can sustain bacterial growth, forms on the fiber

-fiber production itself is extremely ecofriendly, it is a closed loop system
