For millennia silk was the secret of Chinese emperors until it was smuggled out to the West in the 6th Century. Since then, explorers past and present have chosen silk for its warmth, comfort and versatility. From a fresh and innovative perspective, Silkbody captures all the remarkable aspects that have enchanted civilisations for centuries. Silkbody keeps your skin dry because the hydroscopic silk fibres will absorb one third its own weight in moisture without feeling damp. Silk is warm when it's wet because it has exothermic properties: absorbed moisture is evaporated into the environment or absorbed by outer clothing layers. Silkbody also dries very rapidly, on or off the body. Silk has properties that no manmade fibre can simulate. Because Silkbody naturally regulates temperature, it can be used winter and summer long. In winter it provides luxurious insulation and in the summer it is a super lightweight breathable item offering awesome year-round versatility. Many fabrics claim to feel 'soft as silk' but what could be better than the real thing?
