Net underwear is not only sexy but incredibly functional too! Aclima WoolNet, made of Merino Wool, represents the best you can get when it comes to base layers.
- Athletic fit
- Reinforced shoulders, sides, and elbows
- WoolNet: 80/20 Merino Wool / Polyamide, 120 g/m2, 19.5 micron
- Rib: 96/4 Merino Wool / Elastane
Aclima undergarments are issued by the Danish and Norwegian armed forces. Aclima is also part of the Nordic Combat Uniform joint project between Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.
The concept of net base layers is not new at all, but few manufacturers develop and manufacture these with such a high level of devotion as Aclima. The loops of the net form air pockets to keep outer garments (possibly wet and cold) off the skin and reduce loss of body heat thru conduction. Choosing Merino Wool as the material enhances the functionality even further.
Size info
WoolNet adapts to various body shapes and is most effective when the size is not too large. The increments are 6 cm / 2.4", which is a bit unusual, but here are the recommended user's chest measurements for each size. If your chest measures a little bit (2.5 cm / 1" or so) over these, the smaller one is probably better.
Size | Chest (cm) | Chest (in) |
---|---|---|
Small | 95 cm | 37.4" |
Medium | 101 cm | 39.8" |
Large | 107 cm | 42.1" |
X-Large | 113 cm | 44.5" |
2X-Large | 119 cm | 46.9" |
Sizes get a bit taller incrementally towards larger sizes, but tall and slender people don't need to worry. Again, thanks to stretch and the inherent properties of the net material we confidently recommend these to regular and tall people alike.
Material and care
The net is 80 % merino wool, 20 % polyamide, and the ribs are 96 % merino wool, 4 % elastane. Wash inside out at 40 degrees Celcius with wool detergent and wool program. Form when wet and hang to dry.
Made by Aclima
Aclima AS is a Norwegian family business with a history reaching back to 1939. They are specialized in top-quality merino wool base- and mid-layers. Aclima has a factory in Estonia (EU), where the products are made with great care and craftsmanship.

Flat seams really make a difference after several days of constant use.
Heat/comfort to weight ratio is outstanding.
Good to know: woolnet can be a bit abrasive for the first uses.
Especially if you wear only a thin hardshell jacket and carry a heavy backpack.
The crew neck is more versatile, the polo neck is a bit high and a bit too tight.

The body is just long enough.
With a light shirt over it this is comfortable while sitting around or engaging in light activities indoors.
As a "base layer" for higher level activities in cold weather I like fishnet with another base layer over top of it. Once I get "cooking" those two layers by themselves are sufficient below freezing, and, because of the fishnet, brief stops in activities do not result in as quick of a cool down as is normally the case. (I think two things happen, 1) the sweat that is on your skin evaporates more readily during exercise / work, so there isn't as much soaking into fabric, nor as much to evaporate while resting and 2) excess sweat transfers to the outer layer, away from the skin.)
The price is excellent.

I was skeptical but this thing really works. Doesn't make you too warm and definitely cuts down massively on the chill. I tend to use my base layers as the only thing i wear during hikes, even in ice and snow, as i run hotter than Chernobyl, so they don't last too long, but hoping this one with its net fabric won't get (bigger) holes and fall apart too quickly. So far nothing to complain about
