Thinsulate is considered superior to wool insulation for a few reasons. Thinsulate is hydrophobic which means it doesn’t absorb moisture and it repels it. It’s also non-toxic and easy to install.

Does 3M Thinsulate or Havelock Wool perform better as camper van insulation? We compare them across thermal performance, cost, installation, & moisture control.

Havelock Wool is an excellent thermal insulator, and with it, you can expect to be cozy during winter and comfortable in the summer. Thinsulate is also a solid thermal insulator but it's sleeker, thinner, and more minimalist.

The wool appears to have less visible condensation than the Thinsulate – probably due to some of the water being absorbed into the wool itself. Havelock calls this moisture management, but others would say that having insulation absorb water into its fibers is just not a good thing.
