The Bergtagen Woolmesh Sweater is quite possibly the warmest baselayer available. Combining three different variations of wool to provide higher levels of warmth in areas prone to cold, and lower levels of warmth in areas that require ventilation and mobility, this sweater is designed for the coldest conditions imaginable. Use it while walking, mountaineering, trekking, polar expeditions, the list goes on.
The entire baselayer is made from a mix of wool, nylon and polyester; this combines the properies and benefits of each to offer the highest performance when in the mountains or out on a cold winters walk. The upper and outer of the sleeves all use a thick, super warm wool as this is where the majority of your heat is lost, while the back, lower half and underarms all use a wool/nylon mesh to provide warmth yet allows moisture and heat to escape. Wool is not only one of the warmest fibres available and brilliant at wicking away sweat, but resists odours over long treks; meaning it can be worn for multiple days without the need for washing.
Traditional (or cheap) wool has always sparked a memory of itchy, loose fibres causing irritation and general discomfort, however Fjallraven's Merino Wool is so fine that even the most sensitive skinned of users will remain comfortable in cold conditions. Couple this with a smooth knit on the outer of the baselayer to slide effortlessly over additional layers, and you're onto a winning combination.
Finishing off this brilliant garment are large, thick cuffs which are designed to fit inside gloves to avoid heat loss through your wrists, a comfortable wool/elastane collar to trap warm air and a subtle Fjallraven fox logo on the chest. One last note to mention is that all of the merino wool used is mulesing-free and traceable back to the farm of origin.
