Brynje Arctic Double Layer System

The Arctic Double Collection is internationally recognized as one of the highest-performing cold weather base layer systems available.

The concept is simple:

• Brynje Super Thermo Polycolon® mesh sits against the skin
• Premium Merino wool forms the outer layer

This two-layer system creates insulating air pockets while allowing perspiration vapor to move efficiently away from the body.

The result:

• Exceptional warmth
• Outstanding breathability
• Reduced moisture buildup
• Better thermal regulation
• Improved comfort during prolonged exposure to cold conditions

Why Brynje Mesh Works

Brynje’s ST Polycolon® mesh provides:

• 4–6x greater insulating power compared to solid knit fabrics
• Superior moisture transport
• Faster drying performance
• Reduced clamminess during activity

The Merino wool outer layer traps warm air inside the mesh structure while wicking moisture outward for improved comfort and warmth management.
