The Expedition ARCTIC hoodie is knitted in a two-layer jacquard fabric that creates millions of small air-pockets in between the layers, making the quality exceptionally warm ang gives extraordinary ability to insulate.
In addition, the Aqueduct treatment has a unique way of transporting moist away from the body to the outerlayer, where it evaporates. Giving the explorer a better chance to maintain normal body temperature.
The kangaroo-pocket is placed well below the chest area, yet it is still above the waistband from the backpacks.
This makes it both useful and practical when you are on expedition. The closing system gives easy access to the items inside yet prevents them from falling out.
The articulated hood with ventilation-holes in front, fits perfect to protect the face, nose, and chin in the best possible way.
"What MATERIALS is your product made off? "
Innerlayer 100% Merinowool Outerlayer 90% Aquaduct-treated Merino wool 10% Plyamide for improved strength and even better wicking effect
"Tell us more about your COMPANY / PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY... "
COMPANY: Our goal is to make wool clothes without a negative impact on nature. Using natural material, extending the product´s lifetime through design, repair, reuse, sharing and rethinking waste.
Today we are 84 % natural and only use a few synthetic materials, exclusively to increase the durability of the garment. We continuously work to replace synthetic fibres with natural and degradable fibres.
All Devold wool is traceable and over 60 percent can be traced all the way down to the farm where the wool came from. Our garments are even marked with the farm where the wool came from.
Although we transport merino wool across large distances, we mainly use transport by sea or land. To reduce our carbon footprint, we’ll try to move all our production to our factory in Lithuania.
PRODUCT: In DEVOLD we have decided than NONE of our product should ever consist of less than 50% wool.
Today we are 84 % natural and only use a few synthetic materials, exclusively to increase the durability of the garment. We continuously work to replace synthetic fibres with natural and degradable fibres.

Hehe yep! As mentioned earlier in the application form, this shirt is developed in cooperation with the explorer Børge Ousland. He has been using an old version of the Expedition hoody on several expeditions and is very fond of the products -that is also why we made the new ARCTIC shirt. To the point: When I was developing the hood for this shirt, I insisted on making a new solution – not using the old solution the explorer liked so much. I wanted to do even better and developed the new hoodie. But since Børge liked the old solution so much, my superior insisted we keep the old solution. Stubborn as I am, I informed him that we would then use the new and improved solution on the women-style (as it is really sooo much better than the old version), and the men could keep the old solution. Now, long story short: Our explorer got a sample with the new solution to test…. And what happened…? He liked it better than the old version!
