A simple but efficient pair of long johns that balance warmth, breathability and comfort for winter layering.
Fjallraven says:
Light, soft and warm long johns made from 100% traceable merino wool. Produced without PFAS.
Stay in tune with nature in these base layer long johns in soft and comfortable 100% traceable merino wool. Wool balances body temperature, retains warmth even when damp and is naturally antibacterial and odour resistant so you remain fresh even when working hard. Lightweight and minimalistic, Bergtagen Merino 190 Long Johns for men are perfect for hiking, climbing, skitouring or splitboarding and will provide warmth without overheating during varied activity levels.
Our Verdict
Weighing 171g (Medium), the Bergtagen Merino 190 Long Johns use a fine merino knit that feels exceptionally smooth against the skin, with a close fit that layers easily under trousers or shell bottoms. The waistband and gusseted crotch provide comfort without bulk, and the cuffs sit neatly inside boots. Breathability is strong enough to prevent overheating during moderate exertion, while the fabric still retains warmth even when damp.
Without doubt, among the most comfortable wool bottoms I have worn, and there is an argument for them being my new favourite winter base layer. For me, they would be perfect as dry tent clothes at camp: warm, odour-resistant and easy to wear for long stretches. While not the fastest-drying compared to synthetics, the overall comfort and performance make them a dependable winter option.
