                  ^{MONGOLIAN YAK DOWN}

 

                       ^{Yaks originally come from Tibet. They were first introduced to Mongolia}

                       ^{together with Buddhism when monks us them as transport on their pilgrimages.}

                       ^{By preference, yaks live at high altitudes where it’s extremely cold.}

                       ^{And so they appear to us almost comically overgrown with their exceptionally}

                       ^{long and incomparably insulating hair.}

 

                       ^{As yaks inhabit high altitude and endure cold weather they developed uniquely}

                       ^{warm down wool that repels humidity. For this quality, we are not able to dye}

                       ^{yak down and that actually provides us 100% natural and organic product.}

                       ^{A recent study shows that yak down is 40% warmer than Merino wool and 17%}

                       ^{warmer than cashmere.}

 

                      ^{Despite their wild appearance, yaks have little or no odor. And finished yak down is}

                      ^{naturally resistant to absorbing scents and smells, making it ideal for activewear.}

                      ^{And because it requires less fequent washing, your cherished yak sweater will outlast}

                      ^{its wool or cashmere counterpart.}

 

                      ^{We process up to 40% of all yak wool collected in Mongolia. At every stage we take}

                      ^{extra care meticulously which enables us to have an extra soft touch to our}

                     ^{finished products.}
