99% Of Today'S Dog Harnesses Are Made From Synthetic Materials, Including Crude Oil. And Although These Fabrics Have Many Advantages, Like The Air Mesh From Curli, There Are Unfortunately Disadvantages As Well. The Biggest Disadvantage - Besides The Fact That They Are Made From Crude Oil - Is The Smell Development. If The Fabrics Are Used Regularly, They Will Start To Smell, Depending On The Wearer'S Evaporation And Moisture. Thats Where Organic Materials Have A Clear Advantage. For Example, Wool Has Natural Protection Against The Development Of Odours. But Where Does The Smell Come From? Moisture And Salts On The Hardware Are Optimal For Bacteria, Which Begin To Decompose The Moisture And Salts. This Creates Unpleasant Smells. Because Of Its Special Fiber Shape And Composition Wool - And Especially Merino Wool - Is Better Protected Against The Accumulation Of Moisture And Salts Than Synthetic Materials.That Is Why It Was The Perfect Material For The New Merli Harness From Curli. They Show A Significant Reduction In Odour. Another Advantage Of The Organic Material Is That It Does Not Become Electrostatically Charged. This Has The Great Advantage That The Dog Hair Does Not Stand Up And Get Caught In The Air Mesh And Knot Through The Movement. A Pleasant Advantage For All Dogs With Fine, Soft And Beautiful Fur. The Reason For This Is The Lower Conductivity Of Wool Compared To Synthetic Fabrics. These Are Easier To Charge Electrostatically When There Is Friction. And Last But Not Least, Wool Is A Renewable, Organic Raw Material. And With The Right Shearing Technique, The Sheep Also Feels Comfortable. Animal Welfare Is Always One Of The Most Important Factors For Curli And We Make Sure That The Merino Wool Comes From A Producer Whose Wool Is Certified And Inspected.For The New Merino Harness, We Were Able To Reduce The Proportion Of Synthetic Fabrics By Up To 50% By Using 87% Merino Wool For The Inner Lining.
