Bergans keeps natural and synthetic fibres in the mix
16/01/2015
According to the brand, many of the new products, such as the Viul, Myrkdalen and Bladet jackets, and the updated Bodø down coat, use proprietary mixes of natural and synthetic fabrics and insulations.
The Viul is a technical hybrid jacket designed for ski touring, mountaineering, trail running or high-intensity activity in cool weather. Constructed of soft Pertex Classic Eco and lined inside with a merino wool mesh, the jacket is warm during low-intensity and ventilates and wicks moisture during high-intensity workouts, Bergans said in the build-up to the events.
For its part, the Myrkdalen features a slightly longer cut, as well as diagonal vent zips running from under the arms to the back for improved venting when carrying a backpack. It uses Toray’s Dermizax waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane and features laser cut and welded seams, a detachable snowskirt, a helmet-compatible hood, an extended back, ski pass pocket and reflectors.
