For our woolen baselayer program we are implementing the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS). This is a voluntary global standard that addresses the welfare of sheep and of the land they graze on. Our Inner Series is already fully certified against the RWS Standard – guaranteeing that we only use responsibly produced wool for these products.

The goals of the RWS are to support and promote the best practices of farmers; ensuring that wool comes from farms with a progressive approach to managing their land, and from sheep that have been treated responsibly.

All certified partners and all steps in the supply-chain, including Bergans, are being controlled and re-certified by a third-party organization each year. This is our guarantee that animal welfare is maintained and taken care of throughout the whole supply chain.

The RWS is an independent, voluntary standard. On farms, the certification ensures that sheep are treated with respect to their five freedoms and also ensures best practices in the management and protection of the land. Certification ensures that wool from certified partners is properly identified and tracked.

Key Points in the RWS standard:

• Protecting Animal Welfare: The Five Freedoms of sheep are protected at all times.
• Preserving Land Health: protecting soil health, biodiversity and native species.
• Supply Chain Traceability: The identity of the wool is maintained from farm to final product.
• Credible Certification: A professional, third party audits each stage in the supply chain.
• Confident Communication: Only products with 100% certified wool may carry the RWS logo.

Vår overlegne merinoull har vi hentet hos omhyggelig utvalgte produsenter. Fordi vi bruker de fineste og mykeste ullfibrene er produktene våre utrolig myke og komfortable. Merinoull er en fornybar ressurs som varer lenge og er laget av naturlig organisk materiale.

• Regulerer temperatur – har svært gode isolerende egenskaper når det er kaldt, og virker deilig svalende når det er varmt.
• Absorberer fuktighet – absorberer opptil 30 % av sin egen vekt. Det tar lengre tid før plagget føles fuktig mot huden. Samtidig har det svært gode isolerende egenskaper og føles varmt og tørt.
• Lett og komfortabelt.
• Beskytter mot smuss og svettelukt – plagg i 100 % merinoull kan brukes lengre uten å måtte vaskes.
• Tåler maskinvask i henhold til vaskeanvisningen.

Hva betyr «mikron»?

Mikron er en skala som beskriver hvor fine og myke ullfibrene er. Mikronverdier på under 19 regnes som finull. Jo lavere mikronverdien er, jo mykere er følelsen mot huden. - Vi bruker bare ull uten mulesing og innfører flere produkter som er sertifisert i henhold til Responsible Wool Standard (RWS)

Our aim is to steadily increase the use of recycled materials in all our products and we continuously work to utilize more and more new fabrics containing recycled raw materials. We currently use different types of recycled polyamide fabrics in products such as down garments as well as shell garments.

Polyamide, sometimes also referred to as Nylon, normally uses fossil resources for its production. By re-using existing material streams we can save fossil resources and reduce the energy demand and therefore climate emissions, as well as water used for production.

We know from studies we have conducted on our products together with an independent environmental consultancy that the use of recycled materials can significantly lower the environmental and climate impact of products compared to using new materials.

One example is a recycled polyamide fabric we use for shell garments, where CO2 emissions can be reduced by 76 %, while the amount of waste water is reduced by 84 % -compared to the production of new virgin polyamide. This can simply be done by re-using fabric waste from production. The result is a super high functional fabric, which delivers in terms of sustainability as well.

The most common raw material for the production of recycled polyamide is waste material from textile production (so-called pre-consumer material). The need for pure and clean raw material streams is the reason why used textiles most often are not recycled at the end of their life – yet. Too many different material inputs and a composition of different fiber and material types makes recycling difficult. This is one of the biggest challenges for textile industry in the future: To ensure that garments can be recycled to new textile fibers and that the loop for a real circular flow of textiles is closed.
