Love this garment. Have been using it both for running and casually in all kinds of weather and temperatures. It has an ability to work great no matter if it's +15°C or -15°C. Great value and love the style

I love merinoull wool. A natural material that keeps me warm when the temperature starts to drop. No need to wash it after each session either since merino don’t start to smell (like polyester do). I air it and then it/I’m good to go the next day. Västanede Merino LS in wine red will also assure that you’ll be the best looking runner on the trail.

VÄSTANEDE TRAILS

This merino base layer long sleeve is named after the region, Jämtland’s forests in the northern parts of Sweden, where a senseless running career took off. In the book Frontlöparen, the author Björn Lundberg writes about the runner Gunder Hägg who during the years 1938-1945 set 15 individual world records in the middle distance. Among Jämtland’s forests and mountains, in the small community of Västanede, the foundation was laid for this fantastic running career. On a farm near Västanede, Gunder Hägg was a farmhand at a young age and here he also received guidance from the farmer Fridolf Westman, who became his coach.

Between the work shifts on the farm, Gunder ran intervals and distance shifts among bogs and slopes in the beautiful but also physically demanding Jämtland landscape in the northern parts of Sweden. Regardless of the season, Gunder was out in the woods and trails and just like the farm’s former farmhand, Henry Jonsson, Gunder became a world class runner. At that time, the training was adapted to the environment and the season, which meant that there was also a lot of skiing for Gunder Hägg. Trail running was not in their vocabulary at the time, but it was already understood then that running in this kind of environment built both character and physique to run on the fast track during the summer months, where they even broke world records.

100% MERINO WOOL

In the development of our new wool collection, we have been inspired by life as a runner in Västanede in Jämtland. The running in our Nordic climate, the seasons and not least the mighty nature in the north with the forest and mountains, are the basis for our first wool garments. The fabrics are very soft and comfortable and the garments are created to keep you warm and dry without feeling clumsy.

These are clothes for trail running but they work in many different environments and for many different sports. This is a merino base layer long sleeve made of a fabric that we have knitted here in Sweden.
