A high-quality wool sweater. Made in Finland! The downside: it's a single batch of a discontinued model. Grab yours while these last!
A wool sweater is a very flexible garment. Especially a light medium-weight one like this is great for traveling and trekking as it doesn't weigh much or take up all the space in your pack, but it provides effective insulation when you need it.
Made of 100% lamb wool. The manufacturer recommends hand-washing only. We'd like to add that airing the garment often will reduce this need for quite some time.
Size Info
The cut is on the snug side, but this sweater is rib-knit, so it will accommodate your body contours without any undue feelings of tightness. The round collar is not a gaping fashion thing but pretty snug. This sweater has straight raglan sleeves and a straight waist. Below is a chart with the chest width from pit to pit and the center back length from the bottom of the collar to the hem. Don't read too much into the numbers but these should put you in the right ballpark. The off-white ones feel a bit more generous in terms of fit.
This sweater weighs 350 grams (12.3 oz.) in the size Large. This model is a bit shorter and lighter than the Arctic Circle zippered sweater.
Size | Chest Width | Back Length | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Small | 40 cm | 15.7" | 60 cm | 23.6" |
Medium | 44 cm | 17.3" | 62 cm | 24.4" |
Large | 48 cm | 18.9" | 64 cm | 25.2" |
X-Large | 52 cm | 20.5" | 66 cm | 26.0" |
Made by Top-Knit
The Arctic Circle brand is made by the trusted Finnish manufacturer Top-Knit. A welcome exception to the old adage "they don’t make them like they used to, at least not in the West." A veteran in the business since 1974, they are also responsible for manufacturing the Särmä Merino Wool Sweater.

The only shortcoming I see is that it’s a little short in size.
I live on the prairies in Canada where it’s not unusual to have -40C winter days and strong, cold winds. This sweater is perfect for that!
