OBR Merino’s elegant capes and wraps, and now their blankets, are made from NZ Merino and it is important to note that they are fabricated to manage moisture, which is a factor in enhancing wearer comfort. Textiles that are effective at moisture management actively move excess moisture away from the body and transfer it to the external environment. This process of managing the environment between the skin and inner fabric surface enables heat and moisture to be buffered to acceptable levels, providing a micro-climate for the body.
