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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
