Wickability
Feature:
Mohair has a fibber structure with epidermal cuticle scales with overlapping edges and a cortical cell inner, comprising a structure of spindle-shaped cells.
Advantage:
Mohair fibber structure provides an insulation, moisture absorption and capillary effect, which allows easy transfer of moisture without feeling wet or uncomfortable.
Benefit:
Mohair socks absorb perspiration quickly and wick perspiration away from the foot, enabling the foot to stay dry and comfortable, and the sock to remain odour resistant, even after prolonged use.
Shrink Free Fibre Durability
Feature:
Mohair fibres have a relatively smooth and unpronounced scale structure on the fibber cuticle.
Advantage:
Knitted products such as socks have little tendency to shrink.
Benefit:
Mohair socks are dimensionally stable products, which are resistant to shrinkage, enabling continued use for long life application.
Natural Elasticity
Feature.
Mohair fibres are extremely elastic and can be stretched up to 30 % of their normal length and still recover their normal length
Advantage.
Mohair socks have great resilience and can stretch and spring back into shape.
Benefit.
Mohair socks fit snugly and are extremely durable, displaying no effect of stretching and sagging even after prolonged periods of usage.
Blister Resistant
Feature.
The cuticle structure of mohair fibber comprising uniform scales of low frequency makes it very smooth and results in frequency a very ‘slippery’ fibber surface.
Advantage.
The smooth mohair fibres when used in socks do not chafe as the fibres are easily able to ‘slide’ in relation to each other and the skin of the foot.
Benefit.
Mohair socks are very effective in combating chaffing and consequently blisters. This has clear advantages for all applications, but particularly for diabetic sufferers.
Odour Resistant
Feature.
The smooth cuticle structure of the outer surface of mohair enables a very ‘slippery’ fibber surface.
Advantage.
The slippery nature of mohair fibber makes it difficult for dirt and exfoliated skin to cling to the fibber.
Benefit.
Mohair socks have excellent odour resistance, enabling prolonged use without any discomfort.
Soft Thermally Balanced Comfortable Feel
Feature
Mohair fibber blended with wool, is lightweight and flexible, with a slippery fibber surface and inherent natural cortex insulation.
Benefit.
Mohair socks are soft, comfortable and provide lightweight thermal stability.
Advantage.
Mohair socks are light on the foot with a natural ability to insulate, wick and absorb, keeping the foot dry, cool and comfortable in hot temperatures, and warm and snug under extremely cold conditions.
Durable
Feature.
The structure of mohair fibber enables it to be pliable rather than rigid.
Advantage.
Mohair fibres can be bent and twisted without damage to the fibber and mohair is thus regarded as one of the world’s most durable animal fibres.
Benefit.
Mohair socks are very durable and provide prolonged use without any undue wear or discomfort. This provides extremely good durability and value for money.
Non Flammability
Feature.
The structure and composition of the fibber render mohair almost non-flammable.
Advantage.
When exposed to a naked flame, mohair burns at low temperature and tends to shrink away from the flame, producing a “bead like” ash but the fibber will generally stop burning immediately it is removed from the flame.
Benefit.
Mohair socks have proven flame resistance and are very suitable for specialized applications, such as fire fighters socks.
Foot Dry Comfort
Feature
Mohair fibber has very good moisture absorption, wicking and transmission of moisture capability.
Advantage
The foot stays comfortably and naturally dry and this inhibits the incidence of micro-organisms on the foot.
Benefit
The incidence of micro-organisms is a primary cause of discomfort and unpleasant odour on the foot.
Mohair socks have excellent resistance to the development of foot odour, enabling prolonged use without any unpleasant odour and discomfort.
