Are these woolen leggings an alternative to synthetic thermal underwear?
As far as we are concerned, absolutely. Many thermal leggings are made of polyester, polyamide, or other synthetic materials. These ENGEL leggings, by contrast, consist exclusively of organic wool and silk.
And wool is fantastic when you are looking for warmth. The fiber helps your body regulate its own temperature, is breathable, and can absorb quite a bit of moisture without feeling clammy. You get a wonderfully warm layer, without having to wrap yourself in synthetic fabric.
Why is there silk in these ENGEL women's leggings?
The 30% silk makes a big difference. It gives the fine woolen fabric extra suppleness and ensures that the leggings feel wonderfully soft against the skin. This makes the combination of 70% organic wool and 30% silk particularly suitable for underwear worn directly against your body for hours on end.
Do you find 100% wool sometimes just a bit too present on your skin? Then wool with silk can be a very fine choice.
How do the ENGEL Natur wool silk leggings fit?
These women's leggings have a slim, close fit and nice long legs. That is exactly what you want when wearing them under another pair of trousers: no thick bunches of fabric, but a fine warm layer that sits nicely against your body.
Doubting between two sizes? Choose the larger size. Wool and silk don't need to be stretched unnecessarily tight. A slightly roomier size is often more comfortable to wear and is also kinder to the fine natural fibers.
Can you wear these woolen leggings under regular trousers?
Yes, and they are truly ideal for that. The fabric is thin enough to wear under jeans, hiking pants, or other trousers, while the wool still provides a surprising amount of extra warmth. Especially on truly cold days, such woolen long johns for women are worth their weight in gold as far as we are concerned.
But of course, they can also be worn under a dress or skirt. And at home, we happily combine them with a woolen long-sleeve as a wonderfully soft loungewear set or natural pajamas.
Are leggings made of wool and silk suitable if you perspire a lot?
Wool can be very pleasant precisely then. Where some synthetic fabrics can quickly feel clammy and retain odors, wool naturally has very different properties. It can absorb moisture and is much less prone to retaining unpleasant odors.
That is why wool is not just interesting for those who get cold easily. Even if your body temperature fluctuates regularly or you perspire quickly, a thin layer of wool and silk can be surprisingly comfortable.
How durable are natural wool leggings?
We want to be honest about this: wool and silk are not polyester. And that is precisely why we love these materials, but it also means they don't have the same abrasion resistance as synthetic sports leggings.
Especially between the thighs and in other places where a lot of friction occurs, the fabric can eventually become thinner. Do you wear the leggings almost every day? Then it's smart to alternate between two pairs of leggings. This gives the natural wool fibers a chance to rest and helps them last longer.
Do you have to wash wool silk leggings after every wear?
No, preferably not. One of the lovely properties of wool is that it hardly retains any odors. After wearing, hang the leggings outside, near an open window, or in a humid bathroom and give the wool a chance to freshen up.
Often they can simply be worn again afterwards. Less washing also means less stress on the fibers and therefore a longer lifespan.
How do you wash the ENGEL Natur leggings made of wool and silk?
Is washing necessary after all? Then use a cold wool wash cycle and a detergent specifically suitable for wool. For this, we use Lanalicious wool detergent with lanolin. The lanolin cares for the wool and helps keep the fibers soft and supple.
After washing, gently pull the leggings back into shape and let them dry flat. Do not wring and do not put them in the dryer – your beautiful woolen leggings will really not be happy about that.
Why choose the bordeaux red wool silk leggings from ENGEL?
Because you don't need synthetic thermal leggings at all for warm legs. These ENGEL Natur women's leggings made of organic wool and silk give you a thin, soft, and natural layer that you can wear under all kinds of clothing. And BORDEAUX is also such a beautiful deep color that these leggings can just as well become part of your pajamas or loungewear.
