The Expedition
Hoodie provides extra
warmth for your
head and neck.
New ways to warm up
a windproof and water repellent vest
and a wool shirt with a close-fitting
hood – that’s two new highlights
from the Norwegian wool clothing
maker devold.
The devold air vesT is composed of three layers. Both
the outer and inner layers are knitted from 100 percent
Merino wool.
”For the first time, we have managed to create a
garment that is wind and rain proof with the use of a
membrane in between two layers of Merino wool, while
still maintaining all of the positive advantages of a wool
garment,” says Dag Inge Sandvik, Export Manager at
Devold.
Devold’s Expedition series has also undergone a
change in design with new colors (black and red), as well
as a new Hoddie model.
The eXpediTioN hoodie is a shirt with a close-fitting
hood that fits easily under a helmet or hat to protect the
throat and neck from the elements. Like the Zip Neck
in the same series, the Hoodie features pulse warmers,
which ensure the retention of body heat.

Devold Air is a Merino
vest composed of
three layers of wool.
”It protects you down to -50 °C, but it is very comfortable
to wear in temperatures around zero,” says Sandvik.
The Hoodie and the other garments in the Expedition
series are composed of two layers, where the inner layer
is pure Merino wool. The outer layer is mixed with a little
polyamide to provide improved durability. The clothing
is also specially treated to transport sweat away from
the body more effectively than other wool underwear,
according to Devold.
The Expedition series is unisex and among the people
currently using the garments are Norwegian polar explorers
Cecilie Skog and Børge Ousland.
The devold air coMes in a male and female version
and features a front zip closure and several zip pockets.
The chest pocket is adapted for mobile phones and mp3
players, and features a cable port.
“One of the advantages of wearing the vest during
active pursuits is that it is highly protective and offers
excellent freedom of movement,” says Dag Inge Sandvik.
Devold of Norway AS is an independent company that
has produced wool clothing since 1853. The company
serves two different markets, sports and leisurewear, as
well as protective clothing.
Among its products are wool underwear, socks,
headwear, various types of mid-layer garments and
knitte d sweaters.

Skogstad has been manufacturing
affordable and functional sportswear
for 75 years. We are based in Nordfjord,
Norway, a region characterized
by dramatic mountains, glaciers
and fjords. Our designs have been
consistently influenced by our
surroundings. There have been
significant developments since the
first garments were made in 1937.
Increasingly sophisticated textiles and
innovative technical solutions have
created a whole new range of options,
although some things have remained
the same: The nature, the weather and
the quest for new adventures.
