02 — Manifesto

We analyze it like an editorial team would. We don't sell it.

Among the technical winter accessories in the Atlantis catalogue, the Nantai is the neckwarmer in 100% recycled Merino wool: tubular construction, flat seams to eliminate any friction point on the neck, and the natural properties of Merino — active thermoregulation, breathability, moisture absorption and intrinsic antibacterial action with no added chemical treatments. Like the Baru beanie, the Nantai shares the recycled Merino wool material and the same technical approach: a performance accessory worn in direct skin contact with no discomfort.

The open dimensions — 50.5 × 23.5 cm — make the Nantai versatile: it is worn as a tubular neckwarmer, a forehead band or a partial balaclava covering the nose and mouth. For decoration, front and back embroidery up to 12×4.5 cm is the primary technique. The Atlantis feed also indicates compatibility with all-over printing (43×43 cm) for those wanting a customisation covering the whole surface of the neckwarmer — an unusual possibility for this type of product.

It is the natural choice for outdoor brands, winter sports teams, trail running, ski touring and winter cycling after a technical neckwarmer with a quality material and a very low environmental footprint. It is not the right product for those after a synthetic or cotton neckwarmer: the Nantai is in pure recycled Merino wool, with the qualities and specificities of that material.

01
Embroidery· Molto buono
72%
The recycled Merino wool in tubular construction supports front and back embroidery up to 12×4.5 cm. The tubular structure requires inserting a rigid internal support (cardboard or shaped plastic) during embroidery to avoid accidentally stitching the two layers of the tube together. Water-soluble stabiliser recommended. Fine-gauge ballpoint needles (75/11) to preserve the Merino fibres. Moderate stitch density so as not to alter the fabric's elasticity. Not compatible with 3D puff embroidery — the fine tubular fabric does not support the padding.
Max area 12x4.5
02
Patch — Woven / PVC / Faux leather· Buono
62%
Woven or eco-leather patches applicable via perimeter stitching on the front. Heat-sealing is not recommended on Merino wool — stitching only. Maximum recommended size: 4 cm so as not to alter the tubular fit. A patch on Merino wool creates a very effective texture-on-texture aesthetic contrast.
03
DTF — Direct to Film· Sufficiente
45%
Read the technical analysis
DTF transfer is technically applicable on the open front (12×4.5 cm) at moderate temperature (max 140°C for the woollen fibres). The tubular structure requires inserting a rigid support before pressing. The Merino's elasticity can cause micro-cracks on the transfer over time. Not recommended as a primary technique for a neckwarmer — embroidery ensures far greater durability on an accessory subject to continuous traction.
Max area 12x4.5
04
Screen printing· Non compatibile
0%
Read the technical analysis
The tubular Merino wool structure is not suited to screen printing: the soft knit surface does not allow uniform ink deposition and the tubular shape makes standard flat printing impossible. The Atlantis feed indicates an all-over print area of 43×43 cm — this refers to manufacturing sublimation on the open piece before assembly, not traditional screen printing.
05
Sublimation· Non compatibile
0%
Read the technical analysis
Wool, even recycled, is not compatible with standard sublimation: sublimation dyes require polyester to fix. The 43×43 cm all-over area indicated in the Atlantis feed refers to manufacturing printing techniques on the open piece before assembly — not applicable as a post-production customisation technique.
06
DTG — Direct to Garment· Non compatibile
0%
Read the technical analysis
The tubular structure and the Merino wool surface prevent uniform contact with the print head. Not applicable.

Outdoor & corporate sports

The recycled Merino neckwarmer is the technical accessory par excellence for winter outdoor sport — trail running, ski touring, winter cycling, hiking. The Merino's active thermoregulation manages temperature and moisture better than any synthetic, and the tubular construction ensures complete protection on neck and nape with no seam discomfort during movement.

Sports event & marathon

The Merino neckwarmer is one of the most appreciated gifts in the race packs of winter marathons and trails: light (49 g), packable into a pocket, breathable during the race and warm during warm-up and recovery. The 73% CO2 reduction is among the highest in the Atlantis catalogue — a figure communicable to environmentally conscious athletes.

For winter and seasonal sports teams the Merino neckwarmer is a quality accessory to pair with the beanie kit. Front embroidery allows customisation with the team logo on an accessory athletes wear during warm-up and recovery.
The recycled Merino neckwarmer sits clearly above the economy tier of winter promotional accessories. The 73% CO2 reduction is one of the strongest environmental arguments in the Atlantis catalogue — a powerful communication element for brands with a sustainability agenda.
In winter welcome kits the Merino neckwarmer has a high perceived value — Merino wool is associated with premium products. Embroidering the company logo on a natural recycled material with a 73% reduced carbon footprint conveys a brand identity attentive to quality and sustainability.
Suitable as a gift for ski resorts, mountain huts and tour operators with winter outdoor activities. The neckwarmer, packable into a pocket (49 g), is practical in luggage — far more so than a voluminous beanie.
As a winter gift for those who do outdoor sport it is a much-appreciated choice — Merino wool is perceived as a premium material and the neckwarmer format is highly functional. Custom embroidery enhances it further.
For winter outdoor team building the Merino neckwarmer is a gift with immediate practical utility. The perceived quality of recycled Merino aligns with mid-to-high-tier corporate events.
Suitable for associations with winter outdoor activities — hiking, skiing, civil protection. The neckwarmer format is practical for activities where a cap cannot be worn (helmets, ear protection).
The recycled Merino neckwarmer has appeal in outdoor and lifestyle brands with a technical or heritage positioning. It is not the main format of urban streetwear.
Suitable for autumn and winter outdoor festivals where the neckwarmer has a practical thermal-protection function. The palette of just two colours limits options for merchandise with a strong visual identity.
For personal use it is the right choice for those who do winter outdoor sport. Those who do not do physical activity in cold environments will find more daily application in a traditional beanie.
For outdoor or sports creators the Merino neckwarmer is an accessory with a premium positioning. The limited palette is the main limit for merchandise with a strong chromatic identity.
The technical Merino neckwarmer has a presence in winter motorsport as a pit-lane accessory. The thin profile fits under helmets and racing suits.
The tubular Merino neckwarmer is suitable as thermal protection for workers in cold outdoor environments — worn under the suit or jacket without bulk. Not certified PPE.
Suitable for universities with winter outdoor sports programmes. Merino is a premium material for the university target with material sensibility.
For music merchandise the neckwarmer works for genres with an outdoor or dark aesthetic — metal, folk, post-rock. The dark palette is consistent with these genres.
The neckwarmer is not the primary choice for staff uniforms in formal contexts. It works for outdoor staff in cold environments where a cap is not practical.
The technical neckwarmer is not the identity format of gaming aesthetics. It can work for esports brands with an outdoor or performance positioning.
It is not the right format for traditional hospitality. It can work as a technical gift for venues in mountain contexts with a sports clientele.
