Our company name, point6, is derived from this important number, and reinforces the benefits of maintaining optimum performance through the fantastic temperature stabilizing properties of point6 merino wool.

Optimum body temperature is essential for comfort and performance, and particularly during pursuits that may include varied and wide ranges in temperature. While your body has its own natural processes for regulating temperature, mother nature has created a fiber with an excellent inherent ability to increase thermoregulation - merino wool. Developed not in a laboratory but over thousands of years of evolution, merino wool has been instrumental in the survival of sheep among extreme climates, elevations and environments.

The natural crimp in merino wool fibers create a cozy environment of efficient insulation that keeps you warm when it's cold, and cool when it's warm. unlike cotton or synthetics, It's these layers and layers of air pockets that help wool insulate - and keep you warm - even when wet.

If the body is unable to maintain a normal core temperature there are typically two major side effects: heat stroke or hypothermia. If your feet are unable to maintain an ideal core temp, you get chafing, blisters or frostbite. and if you aren't able to remain comfortable during your daily or recreational activities - well, let's not rub salt in those wounds!
