Collection: Brynje

Brynje of Norway is a family-owned clothing company from Larvik city in Norway. Since 1887 they have kept adventurers dry, warm and safe. When Tenzing and Hillary climbed Everest in 1953, they wore Brynje mesh next to the skin.

Brynje found that mesh, with a layer of wool on the outside, was a high performing combination. The mesh reinforces the insulating properties of the wool and mitigates the uncomfortable wet-wool feeling. With this discovery, Brynje realised that the resulting product was a supremely warm and functional one, and it also turned out to be a cosy garment for all types of cold season uses.
