Fjallraven Bergtagen Thinwool LS

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Bergtagen Thinwool LS is a great all day next to skin layer for a vareity of activities.

Fjällräven says:

For spring and summer days spent above the tree line, this long-sleeved top makes a perfect first layer. Made from a fine merino jersey knit, it is lightweight, pliant and comfortable to wear against the skin. The natural fibres help regulate body temperature, which is useful when alternating between different activity levels, or on alpine trips involving early starts.

Our Verdict

Fjallraven’s Bergtagen Thinwool LS is a high-quality merino wool base layer that excels in variable conditions. It will keep you warm on those early starts and chilly summits while keeping you cool on the hike up.

The active fit provides a good balance between the skin-tight products on the market without sacrificing the wicking ability by being too loose fitting. This sits in the perfect middle ground which is why I use this piece for a range of activities.

The merino wool feels great next to skin while the stitching method Fjallraven have used reduces any irritation in high movement areas.
