The Bergtagen Shortjohns will most likely be the warmest shorts you'll ever stick on next to skin. Combining two variations of wool, they provide exceptional amounts of warmth, comfort and sweat wicking properties to ensure your mid-area stays toasty in the coldest conditions imaginable.
Insulation is provided by two different weights of merino wool; a thick terry wool on the front and sides which provides the highest amount of warmth, while a more breathable wool rib gets used down the sides and at the lowers of the shorts to allow heat to escape. Not only is wool brilliant at keeping you super warm, but wicks away sweat when you're working hard and also will resist odours during multi-day trips.
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 shorts to allow additional layers to slide effortlessly over the top and you're onto a winning combination.
For super cold conditions, whether that's winter mountaineering, polar expeditions, walking in a winter blizzard or simply for someone who feels the cold, the Bergtagen Shortjohns are ideal. One last note to mention is that all of the merino wool used is mulesing-free and traceable back to the farm of origin.
