Sixs Merinos Wool underwear test, Bike Tests news

Sixs has thus selected a natural material, merino wool, and added its know-how using carbon, polypropylene, polyamide and elastane, so that this range is as comfortable as the others present in its catalog.

The designers have thus chosen to insert polypropylene inside the products, in direct contact with the skin, and to keep the merino wool, supposed to be rough and rough, outside.

Wool, with thermoregulation properties greater than any other natural fiber, thus acts as a real barrier against the cold.Polypropylene is however a hydrophobic film, that is to say that it does not absorb liquids and allows optimal management of perspiration.Finally, carbon helps in thermoregulation, improves the body microcirculation, is bacteriostatic, namely that it fights against bad odors, and antistatic.

Thus we tested the TS3 long sleeve upholstery swimsuit throughout the winter (94 € 95), the SCX sub-mop cap (24 € 95), GLX sub-Gaants (39 € 95), and short socks Arrow(22 € 95) of this Merinos Wool line.

In short, if it is not this "concern" of cutting, the ts3 merinos holds all its promises, it is hot, its chimney collar is well rising, which allows not necessarily to put a neck depending on the temperatures, andWe do not feel no feeling of humidity during intense training.

It is also very extensible and comfortable with flat seams in the armholes and collar that do not bother.

We tested it on the skin, with only a thermal jacket on top, and it fully fulfills its role as a shield against the cold, even when temperatures are around 0 °.

Two other long -sleeved products are available, the TS2 neck and the ts13 uphill collar with closure.

Ils sont fins et légers, type 2^ème peau, offrant donc la possibilité de superposer une paire de gants par-dessus, sans avoir la sensation d’être étriqué.Residing in the south of France, we worn them with off -season gloves, so not very thick, and that was enough for us during the winter to face temperatures around 5 °.For the most cautious, we recommend them to put them under thermal gloves.

They can also put on alone, but they then do not offer the handlebars, and the bouloche material at the palm of the hand, so it is not recommended for us cyclists.
