The Norwegian brand Devold regularly supplies their products to polar expeditions, which test them in the most demanding conditions. Because of this, you know that when you choose a Devold product, you are buying a reliable piece of equipment that won't let you down when you need it most. Like this wool sweater Nansen.
The Norwegian wool sweater Devold Nansen was named after Fridtjof Nansen, who in 1888 successfully crossed Greenland as the first person, wearing a Devold sweater. Norwegian Devold sweaters don't just work well on expeditions. They will keep you warm in the city too, where you will stand out in a stylish sweater.
And to add more style, exclusively pure new wool from Norwegian sheep was used to make this sweater. Devold wool sweaters were originally tested not only by expedition members but also by fishermen and other people working in harsh environments. Nowadays, Devold sweaters are used as a second or even third layer in functional clothing assembly.
Wool has almost perfect properties for insulating clothing layers. This material won't start to smell even after several sweats – wool has antibacterial effects. At the same time, this material does not melt or burn and can warm you up even when it is wet.
Devold Nansen sweaters are now made in six updated, modern variants. In this case, it is a classic variant with a round neckline. Also noteworthy are other practical details, such as ribbed cuffs on the sleeves and the bottom edge of the sweater.
