What is the Devold Adventure Merino 190 High Neck?
The Devold Adventure Merino 190 High Neck is a lightweight to midweight merino wool base layer designed for year-round use in the hills, mountains, and beyond. Made from 100% merino wool in a naturally stretchy rib-knit construction, it delivers outstanding comfort, temperature regulation, and moisture management whether you're hiking in summer or layering up for colder conditions.
The high-neck design provides extra protection when temperatures drop or winds pick up, making it a versatile choice for mountain hikes, backpacking trips, travel, and everyday outdoor wear. Soft against the skin and naturally odour resistant, it's the kind of base layer you'll happily wear for consecutive days on longer adventures.
Designed with pack-carrying comfort in mind, the Adventure Merino 190 High Neck is an excellent companion for long days on the trail where comfort and performance are equally important.
Materials and Technology
100% Merino Wool
Made entirely from premium merino wool, the Adventure Merino 190 delivers the natural performance benefits that have made merino a favourite among outdoor enthusiasts. It regulates body temperature, manages moisture efficiently, and continues to provide insulation even when damp.
Rib-Knit Construction
The rib-knit fabric provides natural stretch without relying on synthetic fibres, allowing the garment to move comfortably with your body while helping it retain its shape over time.
190g/m² Fabric Weight
With a fabric weight of 190g/m², this base layer strikes an excellent balance between lightweight breathability and effective insulation. It's warm enough for cooler conditions while remaining comfortable during higher-output activities.
19-Micron Merino Fibres
Fine 19-micron merino fibres create a soft next-to-skin feel, helping eliminate the itchiness often associated with traditional wool garments while delivering exceptional comfort throughout the day.
Features and Functionality
The Adventure Merino 190 High Neck is designed to adapt to changing conditions and varying activity levels. Merino wool naturally responds to fluctuations in body temperature, helping keep you warm when stationary while preventing overheating during demanding ascents.
The high neck provides additional protection around one of the areas most exposed to wind and cold, reducing the need for extra accessories in milder conditions.
For greater comfort while carrying a backpack, articulated shoulder construction helps minimise pressure beneath shoulder straps, while flatlock seams reduce friction and the risk of chafing during long days on the trail.
Natural odour resistance makes the Adventure Merino 190 particularly well suited to multi-day hikes, hut-to-hut adventures, backpacking trips, and travel where washing opportunities may be limited.
