Bergans Wool Balaclava

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)
