Devold Nansen 100% Wool Sweater - Explorer-Grade Norwegian Heritage Knitwear
The Devold Nansen carries the legacy of polar exploration history. Named after Fridtjof Nansen, who completed the first successful crossing of Greenland's ice cap in 1888, this sweater represents proven Arctic performance. When Nansen faced 560 kilometres of uncharted ice in brutal conditions, he trusted Devold woolÑthe same material Norwegian fishermen and Arctic workers relied on for survival. Today's Nansen honours this heritage in six contemporary styles, performing "in the toughest conditions or making you stand out in the streets."
100% Pure Norwegian Wool (32-36 Micron) The Nansen uses strong, broad wool fibres (32-36 micron)Ñthe same grade trusted by Arctic explorers. This thicker fibre provides exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio, superior durability, maximum insulation through air-trapping loft, and proven performance in extreme cold and damp conditions. Natural wool benefits include temperature regulation, moisture management maintaining warmth even when wet, odour resistance, breathability, and decades of durability.
Six Contemporary Styles Crew neck (classic round neckline), high neck/turtleneck (maximum protection), zip neck (adjustable ventilation with chin guard), button neck (traditional fastening), split seam (enhanced fit), and women's specific cuts.
Design Features Thick, chunky knit for maximum warmth, ribbed cuffs and hem sealing in heat, pre-washed for soft feel and minimal shrinkage, unisex sizing allowing comfortable layering, and made in Europe with Norwegian wool.
When and Where to Wear It Perfect for extreme outdoor activities (mountain hiking, winter camping, ski touring, ice fishing), everyday cold weather (freezing temperatures, layering under parkas, apr�s-ski, cold-weather commuting), and heritage styling. Temperature range: 0¡C to 10¡C (32¡F to 50¡F) standalone, -10¡C to 5¡C (14¡F to 41¡F) over base layers, extreme sub-zero under shells.
Why Choose the Nansen? Unlike lightweight modern sweaters, the Nansen offers polar expedition-proven performance, authentic explorer heritage worn by Fridtjof Nansen in 1888, thick construction for severe cold, and natural materials tested in Arctic conditions. This is serious cold-weather gear with genuine historical credentials.
Care and Sizing Air out between wears; hand wash or wool cycle (30¡C/86¡F) only when needed; dry flat. Unisex sizing accommodates layeringÑconsult Devold Originals size chart.

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.
