The Norse Merino Double-Layer Zip Polo has been named test winner by Jeger.no, receiving a 10/10 rating in a test of double-layer wool base layers for active use.

The test focuses on one of the most demanding challenges in cold conditions: staying warm while active, sweating, and transitioning between movement and rest. In these conditions, Norse Merino stood out for its ability to combine insulation, ventilation, and long-lasting comfort.

Why Norse Merino won the test

The Norse Merino Double-Layer Zip Polo stands out thanks to a construction developed for prolonged use in demanding conditions.

  • Durable outer layer in interlock merino wool that retains warmth
  • Breathable merino mesh on the inside to improve ventilation and moisture transport
  • Stable comfort even when the garment becomes damp
  • Well suited for high-intensity activity in cool to cold conditions

The combination of insulation, ventilation, and comfort resulted in a top score in the test.

When to choose a double-layer wool system

A double-layer wool base layer is designed for situations where intensity and conditions vary.

  • During prolonged activity
  • When you sweat but still need insulation
  • When conditions shift between movement and rest
  • When next-to-skin comfort is essential throughout the day

The inner merino mesh enhances ventilation, while the outer layer provides insulation. Together, they help maintain a more stable microclimate close to the body.
