What sets Fjork merino apart

Fibre diameter below 19.5 microns is the threshold under which wool does not cause a prickly sensation. That is what allows our garments to be worn next to the skin.

Our Nordend down jackets include an inner merino membrane, where a conventional down jacket traps moisture against the skin and chills you the moment you stop.

Ambassadors

Thirteen athletes and explorers test our clothing in real conditions: freeride, wingsuit, ultra-distance running, polar exploration. See our ambassadors.
