Summer temperature differences and the role of wool in protecting the body
Wool is a material that 'protects the body' from rapid temperature changes.
The constant movement between the scorching outdoors and excessively cooled indoor environments is gradually putting a strain on the body. We encourage those troubled by overly strong office air conditioning or those who want to protect their skin from UV rays to try wool this summer.
