Arctic Zip Polo Shirt
Very warm two-layer shirt in mesh and wool, suitable for a wide range of activities and demanding professions. Our best-selling shirt is a classic on cold expeditions - and a cozy garment indoors in cold weather. The Arctic garments consist of two layers: mesh on the inside and merino wool on the outside. The mesh wicks moisture away from the body thanks to minimal contact points with the skin and polycolon yarn that absorbs very little moisture. The wool helps absorb and transport moisture further away from the body while also creating an insulating layer over the mesh structure, trapping warm air close to the body. Arctic is probably the warmest base layer in the world - no other base layer combines the same properties in a single product. Arctic has won multiple “best in test” awards and received the Teko Innovation Award.
Fit & Size
- Fit: Regular, unisex.
- Sizing: True to size. The shirt should fit fairly close to the body - this allows the mesh to insulate optimally. If the shirt is too loose, it will insulate less effectively as the mesh will not maintain sufficient contact with the skin.
- Size guide: Focus on chest and waist measurements. The garments are generally long enough.
