The Swedish company Fjällräven (translated as "polar fox") is today a legendary manufacturer of backpacks, clothing and other outdoor gear. The result of the brand's many years of development is also this practical neck gaiter, which belongs to the Abisko series of accessories.
Fjällräven products are known for being minimalist, just like all of Scandinavian design. And just as minimalist is this single-colored neck gaiter with the manufacturer's logo embroidered on the side. Flat seams also contribute to the minimalism, which simultaneously provide higher comfort when wearing the neck gaiter.
The Fjällräven Abisko Lite neck gaiter can be used as a versatile accessory that you can wear in various ways. Traditionally around the neck, as a balaclava, as a hat, headband or even as a wristband. This accessory is suitable for all kinds of activities during the day, as well as for cold winter nights in a tent.
Fjällräven clothing is more sustainable than ever before. The Fjällräven Abisko Lite neck warmer is made from traceable, certified merino wool, which is certainly a pleasant bonus. The manufacturer speaks of "sustainability through longevity," which should be the standard for quality products regardless of the specific product.
The above combination of materials is not only perfect for use in clothing and accessories from a sustainability perspective but also from a functionality perspective. While polyester quickly wicks moisture away from the body and also dries quickly, merino wool has great resistance to unpleasant odors (such as sweat) and can keep you warm even when wet. This makes it an excellent insulating layer for outdoor clothing.
We know from the past that some clothing and equipment, due to their chemical treatments, can even harm health. This is not the case with the Fjällräven Abisko Lite neck gaiter, as it does not contain PFAS, which are perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances widely used in the second half of the 20th century.
