A genuine Devold wool sweater, from the modern Legacy product series.

Fridtjof Nansen, the spirited Arctic and Antarctic explorer of the 19th century, wore Devold wool garments – and so can you!

The Nansen Legacy wool sweater is a thick and warm choice. The large logo text across the chest leaves no doubt about the brand. The cuts in the Legacy collection are a touch more modern than the classic models, while the wool itself is the same traditional Norwegian sheep’s wool.

A traditional wool sweater performs well in cool and cold conditions. Worn on its own, it’s best when wind protection isn’t needed; layered under a shell or winter jacket, it adds a hefty dose of warmth. Wool insulates even when damp, has natural anti-odour characteristics, and instead of washing, you are usually fine by just airing it.

  • Relaxed fit
  • Wool fiber thickness: 32–36 microns (for context, many merino wool fibers are about half this thickness)
  • Made in Lithuania

Reading tip: Nansen’s book The First Crossing of Greenland (1888) gives a detailed account of his expedition, including reflections on provisions for a long journey and many astonishing moments from a region where no one had ventured before him.

Like all Devold products, this product is 100% mulesing-free.
