| Activ People
We want to make sure our garments really do deliver - and what better way to do that than getting some of Australia's up and coming athletes to really put them to the test!
Our Activ People come from a variety of sports - check out their thoughts on how Driza-Bone Activ performs for them! |

| Mark Webber
Formula 1 Driver
"Driza-Bone Activ Merino performed brilliantly during our 450km, seven day Pure Tasmania Challenge. Mountain biking, abseiling, sea kayaking and trail running was all undertaken in a range of extreme temperatures and conditions. I was amazed that only one layer of Activ Merino wool clothing delivered such exceptional performance and comfort no matter what conditions we encountered". |

| Rick Goodrich
Mastman of Wild Oats XI (Winner of the Sydney to Hobart Ocean Race 2006 and 2007).
"The clothing could not have performed better. It helped keep the crew warm and comfortable throughout the 43 hour race."
"I have had the opportunity to talk to the crews who sailed aboard Pirates of the Caribbean, in the Volvo Around the World Yacht Race, who also wore and tested Driza-Bone Activ and they note exactly the same comfort factor in extremely varied conditions." |

| Shaun Bacon
Competitor in the Marathon Des Sables 2007
"I wore the one Driza-Bone Activ shirt every kilometer on every day during the 221km race across the Sahara Desert, without the luxury of water to wash it for the whole duration. When I arrived in a long sleeve T shirt made of Merino wool - everyone thought I was nuts! But even in the searing heat of the Sahara, the shirt breathed amazingly and protected me from the sun. I am racing again in 2008 to improve my performance, and I will not have to look far for what shirt I plan to race in!" |

"As for my experience with Driza-Bone Activ well, where do I start?! The garments are great, keeping me warm and dry on the cool mornings when I am out training. I am so surprised how incredibly breathable they are.
Being a rower, I obviously get hot and sweaty but the shirts still breathe really well and don't get all clingy and smelly - which is a real bonus! I wear them every day, both short and long sleeve - I can't get enough!" |

| Will Rischbieth
Mountain Bike Champion
"I feel it breathes much better than a normal shirt and absorbs the sweat without the shirt feeling wet. It keeps my upper body warm after each run which means by the time I am transported to the top for my next run on the track, my muscles haven't gone cold and I still feel flexible and warmed up ready to go." |
