What is Loden?
Loden is generally understood to mean coarse, durable wool fabrics. The term loden is used for dense carded fabrics, which are mostly made of wool and have a more or less smooth surface.
Natural properties of Loden:
The dense surface and natural fat content of the wool ensure good waterproofing. Depending on the intensity of the rain, you can spend several hours in the wet with our products.
The matted surface of the loden shrinks when it is fulled. This process bonds the fibers together to form a structure that is wind-resistant.
The dense surface texture of the loden and the natural structure of wool fibers, which consist of up to 85% air, ensure that body heat is not lost to the environment. This layer of air insulates and keeps you and your dog nice and warm.
Wool has the great ability to neutralize odors. Synthetic fibers usually have to be washed after being worn once. With loden, simply airing it out is enough to get sweat and the like out of the fibers.
