What are the differences between organic wool and synthetic fleece?
Organic wool is the logical choice over synthetic fleece since it is Mother Natures wonder fiber. It is the perfect insulator. It is incredibly warm in winter and cool in the summer due to its ability to breathe with the skin. Wool is the most hydrophilic of all fibers and has the ability to wick away excess moisture. It can actually absorb and release moisture up to 30% of its weight without feeling clammy or wet. This is unlike synthetic fleece, which is warm but does not breathe easily. It can resist flame without the chemical treatment involved in fireproofing. Synthetic fleece is oil based, ignites easily, burns fiercely and melts. If your synthetic fleece is fire proofed, then you have the toxic fire proofing chemicals next to your skin. .
