The Arctic Preservation Event 2026 on Svalbard
These garments are recommended for the gathering on Svalbard in February 2026. All participants will receive email with information about ordering at the agreed price. Please lace your order as soon as possible and well before February 7. This will ensure that the clothes arrive at your hotel on Svalbard before the event.
Layer 1: Arctic Double - probably the World's warmest underwear
Arctic garments are worn closest to the skin and consist of thick merino wool on the outside and mesh on the inside. The garments transport moisture away from the body during high activity and insulate when you are at rest. Wool boxer and sports top are used under the Arctic garments. Arctic mittens are not thick enough by themselves, you need thick outer mittens as well, for example Hestra mittens. You also need warm shoes, for example Baffin boots. More about Arctic Double
Layer 2: Polar jacket OR Antarctic jacket
We recommend Polar Double Jacket - it is very warm and light, well suited for many different outdoor activities. Polar Glacier jacket is also warm, but not as warm as Polar Double (it does not have mesh inside). Antarctic jacket is very warm, heavy and have full windstopper.
Layer 3: Anorak, down jacket and pants
The Anorak protects against wind and snow. Down jacket is worn outside the Anorak or instead of the Anorak. If you must choose, go for the super warm Down Jacket. The Hiking pants work well for short walks outside in very little wind. On longer walks or when skiing, you need windproof pants, like the Ventile bib pants or Expedition pants. Windproof pants for women are found in Outlet.
About Brynje
The family business Brynje from Larvik in Norway has been known for quality since 1887. The world’s first mesh shirt was made in 1921 and further developed in collaboration with the Norwegian Armed Forces. Hillary and Tenzing climbed Everest in 1953 with Brynje mesh next to their skin. Today, Brynje’s clothing is used by polar guides and people in tough professions. When Brynjes garments handle the toughest places on earth, they will serve you well too.
