Product information
Yak fiber is commonly referred to as the coat fiber that covers those longhaired animals. Those animals live principally in the Himalayan region, the Tibetan plateau and some areas of Mongolia and Central Asia. It is the finest fiber (16-20 micron) and is generally shed by the animal during late spring/early summer period. Therefore, this fine feather-like layer needs to be harvested before it is shed in the yearly moult. Yak wool has similar properties to other animal fibers including breathability and static- resistance, but has been proven to outperform sheep wool in a number of areas.

IMBOTEX Ultimate Insulations
Founded in 1955, Imbotex is a leading manufacturer of natural, recycled and technological paddings. Sustainability and innovation are the pillars of our products, from furniture and bedding to fashion and professional sports. The female leadership and the steady eye on new developments have been our hallmarks through time. In 2019 we founded ImbotexLab, NewCo of the Company, focused on advanced insulations functionality with circular economy and sustainability contents. We patented a fully vertical and mechanical process, which includes the collection of discarded virgin material scraps and yarns and is less impactful in terms of energy consumption, water usage and CO₂ emissions.
