At Tergel Yakshmere, we pride ourselves on working with one of the most exceptional fibers in the world: yak wool. Our yak wool coats are not only luxurious and stylish but also offer unparalleled warmth, outperforming merino wool and even cashmere. What makes this fiber so special? Let’s uncover the secrets behind its extraordinary performance.
Yak Wool: A Fiber Born in Extreme Conditions
Native to the high steppes of Mongolia, yaks endure some of the harshest climates on Earth, with temperatures plunging as low as -40°C. To survive, they develop a unique dual-layer coat:
A rough outer layer to protect against wind and snow.
An ultra-soft inner down that acts as a natural thermal barrier, trapping body heat efficiently.
This soft, insulating undercoat is what we use for our yak wool coats, delivering unmatched warmth and comfort.
Yak vs. Merino vs. Cashmere: A Comparative Look
1. Warmth
Yak Wool: The hollow fibers of yak wool retain heat more effectively while remaining lightweight. This unique structure makes it 30% warmer than merino wool and about 20% warmer than cashmere.
Merino Wool: While soft and breathable, merino wool is designed for milder climates, providing moderate insulation.
Cashmere: Luxurious and soft, cashmere offers warmth but is less suited for extreme cold compared to yak wool.
2. Weather Resistance
Yak Wool: Naturally moisture-resistant and waterproof, yak wool stays warm even when slightly damp, making it ideal for snowy or humid climates or rainy days.
Merino Wool: Merino absorbs more moisture, which can compromise its insulating capabilities.
Cashmere: More delicate, it requires extra care and protection against weather to maintain its quality.
3. Durability
Yak Wool: Known for its toughness, yak wool ensures long-lasting garments that can withstand heavy use.
Merino Wool and Cashmere: Though durable, these fibers are more prone to pilling or wear over time.
