The Swedish company Fjällräven (translated as "polar fox") is today a legendary manufacturer of backpacks, clothing and other outdoor equipment. The result of years of brand development is also the Abisko Wool Logo LS M shirt, made from a merino wool blend, with a classic crew neck and long sleeves, which belongs to the clothing line of the same name.
This unique shirt is minimalist at first glance, and that's how it should be – after all, the entire Scandinavian design is minimalist. The purely utilitarian design of this piece of clothing is "disrupted" only by the retro logo on the right side of the chest, which Fjällräven has been using since 1960.
Fjällräven clothing is more sustainable than ever before. The Fjällräven Abisko Wool LS M shirt is made, among other things, from traceable, certified merino wool, which is certainly a pleasant bonus. The manufacturer talks about "sustainability through longevity." This should be standard for quality products, regardless of the specific item.
Merino wool is undoubtedly the best natural material for functional clothing. It warms when it's cold and cools when it's hot. The loose fit of the shirt then facilitates air circulation around the body, so wearing this piece of clothing will always be pleasant. The Abisko Wool LS M shirt can be worn as the first layer of functional clothing both in warm and cold climates. In summer, it can naturally be worn as the only layer.
From the past, we know that some clothing and equipment can even harm health with their chemical treatments. This is not a concern with the Fjällräven Abisko Wool LS M shirt because it does not contain PFAS, which are perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances widely used in the 2nd half of the 20th century.
