        HD® WOOL INSULATION

        _______

         

        To make the ultimate fibre technology engineered by nature
        to keep you in your comfort zone.

         

         

         

      • WHY HD® WOOL INSULATION?

         

        A natural answer to a problem that’s as old as the hills...

         

        Be it a commute or exploring the great outdoors, the unique structure of HD® Wool Insulation enables excess moisture to escape, keeping you comfortable and drier for longer in all seasons.

         

        HD® Wool Insulation offers the most insulation with the least amount of weight, and naturally retains its shape, whilst managing your microclimate.

         

        The great all-rounder, it's natural, biodegradable and durable. Technical insulation designed by millions of years of evolution - is HD® Wool Insulation is proven.

         

         

        PROVEN BY EVOLUTION

         

        The world's best technical fibre is natural. It's light, durable, warm and adaptable. Millions of years of evolution have developed the world's finest and most versatile insulation.

         

         

        PROVEN BY GENERATIONS

         

        H. Dawson Wool, the founder of HD® Wool Insulation, have been proud Yorkshire wool merchants for five generations. When we put our name to a product it really means something. Traditional family values of hard work, honesty and directness mix with an international 'best in class' reputation for innovation.

         

         

        PROVEN IN THE LAB

         

        Current testing removes the effect of humidity in cold atmospheric conditions. This method is unrealistic and flatters the performance of synthetic materials. HD® Wool Insulation brings real conditions into the lab to represent the micro-climate of actual transient wearing.

         

         

        PROVEN IN THE REAL WORLD

         

        In the real world, it's about comfort, not stats. HD® Wool Insulation works with nature not against it, keeping you more comfortable for longer in more varied conditions.
