Devold Nansen 100% Norwegian Wool High Neck Turtleneck Sweater - Arctic Expedition Heritage
The Devold Nansen High Neck is expedition-grade wool knitwear with maximum neck protection and authentic polar exploration heritage. Named after Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who wore Devold during the first crossing of Greenland in 1888, this turtleneck design provides superior warmth and wind protection for extreme conditions. Available in six contemporary styles, it performs "in the toughest conditions or makes you stand out in the streets."
1888 Greenland Expedition Heritage When Fridtjof Nansen faced 560 kilometers of Greenland's ice capÑconsidered impossible at the timeÑhe trusted Devold wool, the same material Norwegian fishermen relied on for survival in brutal conditions. The expedition's success established Devold as the gold standard for expedition-grade outdoor clothing.
Why High Neck Design for Extreme Cold The high neck (turtleneck) provides critical protection for the neckÑone of the body's most vulnerable areas for heat loss. Extended collar shields against wind, snow, and cold air. Can be pulled up over the lower face for additional protection or folded down for ventilation, offering adaptable temperature control essential for winter mountaineering, Arctic travel, and extreme cold.
100% Pure Wool (32-36 Micron) Robust wool fibres provide exceptional warmth-to-weight insulation, superior durability, proven warmth retention when wet, and natural temperature regulation. Benefits include moisture-wicking, odour resistance, breathability, flame resistance, and decades of durability. Features ribbed cuffs and hem, pre-washed for softness.
Six Nansen Styles Available High neck/turtleneck, crew neck, zip neck, button neck, split seam, and women's specific cuts.

Devold Size Guide
The size guide indicates what body measurements will fit the garments as they are planned to be worn. Individually one may choose a smaller size for a tighter fit or a bigger size for a loose fit. Devold underwear and accessories are generally made in elastic materials, mid-layers in more stable qualities. The garment measures will differ according to the elasticity in each quality and intended fitting - the size guide refers to body measurement for correct fit.
A few precautions
- When bust/chest measures indicate different size than height, follow the bust measurement
- When hip and waist indicate different sizes, follow the hip measurement
- When height indicate two sizes more than width measure, we recommend to chose the size in between.
