Yak Characteristics

Rare yak hair has six properties:

1. Heat retention: Heat retention is 10-15% higher than merino wool.
2. Antibacterial: Yak hair absorbs sweat and evaporates it outside, so it is said that it is difficult to smell, so it can prevent odors even in situations where it is difficult to wash.
3. Breathability: Yak hair absorbs moisture from the body and releases it to the outside environment, so there is no sweaty or damp feeling when wearing chemical fibers.
4. Softness: Yak down is about 14 to 20 microns thick, which comes from the long, curly hair of the yak, and feels great against the skin.
5. Durability: This fiber is more durable than wool.
6. Resistance to static electricity: It is said that the hair is more resistant to static electricity than wool and cashmere.

SHOKAY's yak material is characterized by a very smooth feel because it uses only the soft downy hair of the yak's chin and belly. Yak is a material that combines high heat retention and breathability, making it comfortable to wear all year round. In a test comparing wool and cashmere, the heat retention is about 30% higher than wool and equivalent to cashmere. It is 130% more breathable than cashmere and has been shown to be less prone to pilling. The point is that even those with sensitive skin who don't like the itchy feeling of wool can wear it with confidence.

Thoughts for creators and users

SHOKAY is a fashion brand born for humanitarian aid and poverty alleviation. A domesticated yak that lives in remote areas of the Himalayas. Yak has long been valued as a source of livelihood for the Tibetan people. By purchasing the wool directly, we support the stable employment and livelihood of the Tibetan people. To protect the environment and protect the Himalayan native animal, the yak is sheared only once a year.

SHOKAY's clothing with rich texture and deep flavor is the result of the passion of the creators and the irreplaceable beauty of nature.
