Devold Expedition Merino 235 Zip Neck Man

Devold Expedition Merino 235 Zip Neck Man – men's two-layer merino base layer

The Devold Expedition Merino 235 Zip Neck Man is a warm men's merino base layer with a high zip neck, developed for extremely cold and demanding weather conditions. Its two-layer construction provides exceptional thermal insulation and efficient moisture management, with performance proven on multiple polar expeditions.

The inner layer is made from soft 18.7-micron merino wool for comfortable next-to-skin wear. The outer layer combines Aquaduct-treated merino wool with durable polyamide. This construction transports moisture towards the outer surface, where it can evaporate more efficiently, helping keep the body warm and dry.

How does the two-layer Aquaduct construction work?

The fine merino inner layer absorbs moisture from the skin, while the Aquaduct-treated outer layer transports it towards the fabric's surface. Moisture can then evaporate more efficiently, helping reduce the feeling of dampness and maintain a comfortable microclimate next to the body.

The two layers also create an additional insulating zone that effectively retains body heat. This makes the base layer suitable for extremely cold days, extended exposure and activities that alternate between movement and stationary periods.

Natural merino comfort

Merino wool helps regulate body temperature, manages moisture and limits the build-up of odour. The fine inner fibres feel comfortable next to the skin, making the shirt suitable for extended wear and multi-day winter activities.

Functional details for cold conditions

The high zip neck provides additional protection in the cold and can be opened during more intense movement to release excess heat. An extended back panel improves coverage in a bent position, while raglan sleeves and the flexible construction allow unrestricted movement.
