Fjallraven says:
Light and comfortable balaclava made from soft 100% traceable merino wool. Fits snuggly under a helmet or hood or even a cap or beanie. Produced without PFAS.
Light and comfortable balaclava in a soft 100% traceable merino wool made to fit snuggly under a helmet or hood or even a cap or beanie. Bergtagen Merino Balaclava provides protection for the face and neck on cold, windy days and is very versatile – its hinge construction allows it to be worn high up over the nose, low around the chin, or folded back as a neck gaiter. The soft merino wool wicks away moisture, insulates even when damp and naturally resists odours.
Our Verdict
Weighing 51g, the Fjallraven Bergtagen Merino Neck Gaiter is made from 100% merino wool, offering reliable insulation, natural odour resistance and the ability to stay warm even when damp. Without a doubt, the comfiest neck gaiter I have used; it feels exceptionally smooth against the skin with no itch and is soft enough for all-day wear in various conditions. Its length gives good coverage whether worn on the neck alone or pulled up over the face, and the slim profile layers neatly under a hood or helmet without adding bulk. Breathability is strong for a wool knit, keeping moisture under control during higher effort while still holding warmth in cold or damp weather. The construction is lightweight, so some care is needed to preserve seam integrity, but treated well, this remains a versatile and highly comfortable choice for cold-weather protection.
