Fjallraven says:
Light, soft and warm long-sleeved base-layer top made from 100% traceable merino wool. Produced without PFAS.
Stay in tune with nature in this base layer long sleeved top 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 will remain fresh even when working hard. Lightweight and minimalistic, Bergtagen Merino 190 Long Sleeve for men is perfect for hiking, climbing, skitouring or splitboarding and will provide warmth without overheating during varied activity levels.
Our Verdict
Weighing 220g (Medium), the Bergtagen Merino 190 Long Sleeve features a fine 190g/m² merino knit that feels exceptionally soft against the skin. The slim cut layers neatly under mid and outer shells, with a slightly elongated back hem that helps keep coverage secure. Breathability is strong for a wool piece, effectively managing moisture during higher exertion while retaining warmth in cold or damp weather.
Without doubt, the most comfortable winter base layer I have worn, and there is an argument for it becoming my new favourite. If it had a small zip for venting, it would be perfect for me. It is not the lightest option, but comfort and adaptability make it stand out. With merino’s natural odour resistance and reliable insulation even when damp, this feels like a dependable foundation for winter layering.
