FEATURES
-
cutting
By offsetting the shoulder line, chafing with the seams when carrying a backpack is prevented, ensuring a range of motion that makes it easy to raise your arms. -
Hem opening shape
Thumb anchors on the cuffs keep the back of your hands warm and prevent uncomfortable riding up when layering. -
Flat Seamer
The patterning reduces seams to improve stretchability. All seams are flat-seamed for a comfortable feel against the skin. -
Fabric (surface)
Axio 3D offers excellent moisture wicking and quick drying. The smooth surface makes layering easier, and it also offers improved durability and anti-pilling properties. -
Fabric (skin side)
The double-faced inner layer is made of COOLMAX material, which provides excellent breathability and quick-drying properties.
Axio
AXIO is a special product for Teton Bros. that is ultra-lightweight at just 85g (medium size) and has excellent anti-pilling properties. It is the finest hybrid wool born from the deep knowledge and passion for Oshu wool.
Wool fibers are naturally water-repellent, but Teton Bros.' special AXIO fabric is specially processed to not only absorb moisture, but also have excellent diffusion and quick-drying properties. Some of the polyester filaments are made with irregular cross-section yarns, which provide a cooling effect when body temperature rises suddenly. This hybrid material strikes the perfect balance between the properties of wool and synthetic fibers. AXIO's special structure means that the polyester fibers are not exposed on the surface, but run in a spiral pattern inside the diameter, creating a very smooth, even yarn surface, resulting in a smooth feel and excellent anti-pilling performance.
Hand wash with mild detergent in water below 30°C. Higher temperatures than 30°C are strictly prohibited. Higher temperatures can cause shrinkage and damage to the fabric. To remove dirt, gently press the entire garment while washing. Avoid rubbing the garment as much as possible. After a quick wash, change the water and rinse. Washing and rinsing should be done quickly. Aim for about 3-5 minutes total. Leaving the garment in water for too long can cause the fibers to stiffen and felt. After washing, gently press the garment with a large towel to remove excess water. Dry flat in a cool, well-ventilated place. Never use a dryer. Polypropylene, in particular, is very susceptible to high temperatures, but its low thermal conductivity makes it excellent for retaining body heat (Axio). Merino wool shrinks because the scales on its surface open up when wet. If the fabric is rubbed or subjected to force while open, the fibers become tangled. If the fabric dries in a tangled state and the scales close, the entire fabric will shrink and become hard. This shrinkage is called "felting shrinkage," and it is more likely to occur the higher the water temperature.
