Wool has steadily increased its presence in performance base layers in winter collections. The introduction of new blends and different knit constructions is helping the natural fiber expand into the warmer seasons and other sports. This panel talk will discuss not only the new types of material constructions in development for next-to-skin clothing but also how wool may also become a contender in waterproof-breathable outerwear.

The discussing debate guests are:
- Mr Barnaby Caven, Researcher Fellow at University of Innsbruck
- Mr Hamish Allan, Marketing Manager of Südwolle Group
- Mr Johann Mittermayr, Sports/Outdoor Manager Europe of Woolmark International Pty Ltd
