Halvarssons Comfort Outlast Wool sweater base layer in grey

Merino makes for the best base- and mid-layers. It traps heat, it wicks moisture, it holds moisture without the wearer feeling wet and it tends not to smell. Halvarssons’ Comfort garments are made from a combination of Merino (61%) and Outlast (31%). This is a medium weight garment, so could be worn as either a base- or a mid-layer. Now effective as Merino is, in this case the Merino wool is suffused with Outlast. Outlast is a very clever technology that stores heat in paraffin molecules. This perhaps isn’t the place to go into it, but effectively the garment is a temperature regulator. So it will cool you down in hot weather, and if used correctly it can serve to make you warmer when it’s cold. The bottom line is that if you are looking for a single layer that could be worn all year round, Halvarssons’ Comfort range might be the one to go for.
