Merino Mid Layers

What is the mid layer? It’s an intermediate layer where the clothes add extra insulation and thus insulate the body heat. When in cold temperatures with low activity, a thicker layer is needed to keep the body warm. The aim is to create an air layer that insulates by trapping in the body heat. The more air in the clothes, the better the insulation. Woolpower’s sturdy reinforcement garments are made of Ullfrotté Original 400-600.

Woolpower, based in Östersund, Sweden, has been designing and manufacturing merino wool clothing since 1972. Located in the north of Sweden, they have mastered the art of keeping warm in the cold.

Why we use Merino Wool

Merino wool is a top choice for mid layers due to its natural thermal and breathable qualities. Unlike synthetic options, merino wool keeps you warm even if damp and offers consistent insulation, ideal for both outdoor adventures and low-activity situations. The Ullfrotté Original 400-600 fabric in Woolpower’s mid layers provides extra warmth and resilience, while remaining soft and flexible for comfortable movement. This construction helps retain heat without feeling bulky, making it the perfect solution for layering in extreme conditions.

For a complete cold-weather system, combine these mid layers with Woolpower’s base layers and socks to maximise warmth and moisture-wicking capabilities. You can further customise your setup with Woolpower’s jackets and headwear, designed to complement each layer and create a well-insulated outfit. Each Woolpower piece is carefully crafted for durability and insulation, supporting all aspects of an active outdoor lifestyle from high-energy treks to quiet moments in the cold.
