List of materials used in our products
Merino wool
Few natural materials have such unique properties as Merino wool, which is worn by Merino sheep grazing in harsh conditions. Our ancestors already knew it and we know it too. Merino wool, or its fibers are much finer than traditional wool. Its advantages include the ability to insulate and at the same time breathability. Woolen clothes are elastic and have a high ability to absorb moisture. It's the only material that keeps you warm, even when it's wet. In addition to the ability to warm the human body, merino wool can also cool a person. It wicks moisture away from the body in the form of steam, which is different from synthetic materials that wick away moisture only after liquefaction. A T-shirt made entirely of synthetics cools a person and behaves more like plastic. In contrast, woolen fabric is still very breathable and when it is wet it keeps you warm. Breathability is also the reason that thermal underwear made of merino wool does not smell even after repeated use and sweating. It is pleasant to the body because it does not scratch and even eliminates the effects of UV radiation. Thermal underwear made of merino wool gives a person the feeling that he is not wearing anything and at the same time feels that he is always warm and dry.
Wool
Classic sheep's wool has been with us since time immemorial and is still used today. In our offer you will find traditional Norwegian sweaters that are made of this wool. It is about Classics and these sweaters will be with you for many years. If you are a lover of thicker sweaters, in which you will definitely not be cold, then our offer of sweaters is ideal. Wool and its fibers have been used for years as the best insulating material. Thanks to the constant temperature and humidity, it is also suitable for asthmatics, dry heat and lanolin help protect against mites.
Primaloft
Primaloft® is among the most efficient thermal insulation materials for outdoor use on the current market. The material technology was originally developed for the US military as a synthetic substitute for goose feathers. It will warm you just as well as feathers, but the main difference is the high water repellency of microfibers, thanks to which the material retains excellent thermal insulation properties. Real lightness, compressibility and the ability to take the original shape even after longer compression are other advantages of Primaloft. Another advantage is its easy maintenance, you don't have to worry about washing clothes from Primaloft® and they dry very quickly. Recycled plastic bottles are used in the production of Primaloft fibers.
Membrane Brix
The BRIX membrane is an ideal combination of an outer waterproof layer and an inner breathable layer. The result is a waterproof, breathable, windproof membrane that is certainly suitable for many different activities. BRIX can be found on membrane jackets and trousers from Skogstad.
Dermizax®
Dermizax® membranes are made of super-thin polyurethane film (PU) and the basis of their functioning is absorption - diffusion - desorption (release of absorbed water molecules). Dermizax™NX provides maximum protection in case of particularly demanding activity and natural conditions. The permeability of the membrane is twice that of traditional membranes (30,000-50,000 g/m2/24h for 2-layer Dermizax™). Nevertheless, Dermizax™NX membranes have the same high water column as other Dermizax™ membranes are known for (minimum 20,000 mm).
Bionic Finish Eco®
Bionic Finish® ECO is an environmentally friendly clothing impregnation technology. It does not contain any harmful fluorocarbons (PFCs). It is therefore a surface treatment that makes your clothes water-repellent and more resistant to external influences, such as water, dirt, abrasion.
Feathers
Feathers are very light, can be compressed into a very small volume, breathe and are comfortable. Our down jackets are made of the highest quality feathers. We have decided to use a filling with a volume of 650 cuin (EU standard) and a ratio of 90/10 for most of our products. This allows us to offer high quality at a reasonable price. Down jackets from Skogstad and Bergans use Re:Down down for the production of their down products. This means that it is recycled down that comes from pillow fillings or clothing.
Fleece
Fleece or microfleece has been a well-known material for a long time. It is especially popular for use on insulating layers. Fleece is a synthetic fabric that is easy to maintain, dries quickly and is light in weight. Fleece products from Skogstad also have the Norwegian Swan Ecolabel. This label means that the materials are obtained in a sustainable way. The entire life cycle of the product is strictly monitored - how much energy is used for production, whether harmless dyes are used, whether those who produce these clothes are treated well and whether they can be recycled.
Softshell
A combination of the capabilities of fleece and shell clothing is Softshell. This clothing is soft and warm on the inside and smooth and flexible on the outside. Between these two layers is a membrane that makes the Softshell fabric 100% windproof. Softshell jackets are very popular especially for hiking or casual wear.
Cotton
Before modern shell jackets were invented, cotton was the main material for jackets used in the mountains. Cotton is a comfortable, durable and windproof material. In addition, the combination of cotton and polyester fibers improves durability in relation to weight. Clothing made from this material breathes and does not create a feeling of moisture at a high level of activity. Cotton/polyester garments are still popular because they are comfortable, suitable for hiking in good weather or on dry winter days.
Lenzing Modal®
Lenzing Modal is a semi-synthetic cellulosic fiber that is produced by spinning cellulose, usually from beech trees. It also produces using the Edelweiss symbiotic production process. Which means that the raw material (pulp) is processed in the same place as the modal fiber itself, which allows Lenzing to minimize the use of energy and other such resources. Therefore, we can say about this material that it is a truly ecological and sustainable raw material. The reason for this is the fact that artificial irrigation or planting is not necessary to grow beech wood. Modal is pleasantly soft and gentle on the skin. This is why the fabric is so often used in products such as underwear.
Tencel®
Tencel® is a lyocell fiber from Lenzing. It is of plant origin, as it is extracted from the raw material of eucalyptus wood. The production of the fiber itself is very "ecofriendly" (friendly and environmentally friendly). The day tencel® fiber was invented, a new era in the history of fibers began. Tencel® fabrics are much more absorbent than cotton fabrics, softer than silk and cooler than canvas. Tencel is often used in combination with Merino wool.
