The Norwegian brand Devold commonly supplies its products to polar expeditions, which test them in the most demanding conditions. This way, 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 the most. Just like this wool sweater, the Nansen High Neck.
The Norwegian wool sweater Devold Nansen High Neck was named after Fridtjof Nansen, who in 1888 successfully crossed Greenland in a Devold sweater as the first person to do so. However, Norwegian Devold sweaters are not only for expeditions. They will keep you warm in the city too, where you will shine in a stylish sweater.
And to add even more style, only pure new wool from Norwegian sheep was used to make this sweater. Devold wool sweaters were originally tested not only by members of expeditions but also by fishermen and other people working in harsh environments. Nowadays, Devold sweaters are used as a second or even third layer of functional clothing.
Wool has almost perfect properties for insulating clothing layers. This material does not start to smell even after repeated sweating because wool has antibacterial effects. This material also does not melt or burn and can keep you warm even when wet.
Devold Nansen sweaters are now made in six updated, modern variants. The High Neck variant has a high collar and is essentially a turtleneck, which will protect your neck from the whims of the weather. Other practical details worth mentioning include ribbed cuffs on the sleeves and the bottom edge of the sweater.
