Surrounded by the tenderness of the yak

They don't feel too tight, and they fit gently around your wrists.

These gloves have a basic design that is suitable for all genders and ages, and are also recommended as a gift for loved ones on birthdays and Christmas. Yak hair is smooth and not itchy, so it can be used safely by people with sensitive skin.

Made with warm yak hair

SHOKAY's women's yak gloves are perfect for the cold winter and the chilly mornings and evenings. They are made from 100% yak fabric. Yaks are a type of cattle that have been treasured as a source of livelihood for the Tibetan people in the Himalayas since ancient times. Yak hair is not generally well known, but its soft hair is called "down" and is a very luxurious fiber, comparable to cashmere. This is because only 100g can be obtained from one yak.

Yaks grow in cold regions at altitudes of over 3,000m, and their body hair is a combination of soft and hard hair to withstand harsh environments, and has excellent heat retention and moisture retention properties. The fibers are thin and smooth, so even those with sensitive skin can wear them with confidence.

Yak characteristics

1. Heat retention: Heat retention is 10-15% higher than merino wool.

2. Breathability, antibacterial properties: Yak hair has the property of absorbing moisture from the body and releasing it to the outside environment, so there is no sweat smell or sticky feeling that you feel when wearing synthetic fibers. It is less likely to get smelly, so you can rest assured even in situations where it is difficult to wash.

3. Softness: The thickness of "yak down" obtained from the long, curly hair of the yak is about 14-20 microns, and it feels great against the skin.

4. Durability: It is a fiber that is more durable than wool.

5. Resistance to static electricity: It is said that the hair is less susceptible to static electricity than wool or cashmere.

Thoughts on makers and users

SHOKAY is a fashion brand born for humanitarian aid and poverty relief. Yaks are domesticated animals that live in remote areas of the Himalayas. Yaks have long been a source of livelihood for the Tibetan people. By purchasing their wool directly, we support Tibetan people in providing stable employment and a sustainable livelihood. In addition, to protect the environment and the yaks, which are endemic to the Himalayan region, we only shear their wool once a year.

SHOKAY's clothing, with its rich texture and deep flavor, is filled with the thoughts of the maker and the irreplaceable beauty of nature.
