Merino Extreme merino wool base layers

Merino Extreme – the best of two fibres

Merino Extreme is a double-layer knit developed by Svala for cold and changeable conditions: polypropylene against your skin and merino wool on the outside. It combines the efficient moisture wicking of polypropylene with the natural warmth of merino wool.

Moisture away from your skin. The polypropylene in the inner layer absorbs only about 0.03% of its weight in moisture, and the structure helps move moisture towards the outer layer. This keeps the side against your skin feeling drier, even after you've been sweating.
Warmth from merino wool. The yarn in the outer layer is 90% merino wool and 10% polyamide. Merino wool provides warmth and helps manage moisture, while polyamide makes the fabric more hard-wearing and longer-lasting.
Two layers, one knit. The layers are knitted together into a light 200 g/m² fabric.
When the pace changes. The fabric works especially well when your body temperature and activity keep changing: first you move and sweat, then you stop, and you still stay warm.

Dry against your skin. Merino warmth on the outside.

“On wilderness trips, hunting, fishing and around the campfire, Merino Extreme is my go-to. Merino wool works well in changing conditions, and dirt and smells don’t cling to it easily. Around the campfire I also appreciate that wool stands up to sparks better than many other materials.”

Sakke Raappana, wilderness hiker and expedition leader
