Ø Mallory and Irvine used silk as a key technical fabric on their 1924 Everest expedition. Ø Silk is exothermic which means it actually releases heat as it absorbs moisture, keeping you warm as it gets wet. Ø Certain silk fibres are as strong as steel wire of the same diameter. Ø The sericin protein in silk contains many amino acids believed to be good for your skin. Ø
Silk is one of the softest fibres in the world, capable of
absorbing a third of its weight in water without feeling damp. |
