What sets Fjork merino apart

The fibre's fineness, below 19.5 microns, is the threshold below which wool does not cause a prickly sensation. This makes it possible to wear our garments directly against the skin.

Our Nordend down jackets feature an inner merino membrane, whereas a classic down jacket traps moisture against the skin and cools you down when you stop.
