The Devold Kløvstien Merino Shirt Woman is made from 100% natural fabrics. The material mix consists of 70% Merino wool and 30% Tencel and it is this mix that convinced the jury. This material composition gives the shirt a soft & silky feeling while the jacquard knit gives the shirt a rough and durable quality. Although the fabric comes with a heavy grammage it is very breathable and at the same time strong and durable. The jury also liked the special features like a longer cut in the back, the loose fit and the integrated goggle cleaning scarf. As the shirt comes in a short- and long sleeved version they are able to reach a big target group of Mountainbike Women, with a specific shirt that is a perfect fit for their purpose.
The new Devold® Kløvstien Mountain Biking series for women consists of loose fitted, soft, durable, and comfortable garments.The shirts are knitted in a Wool-Tencel blend with high durability and good elasticity – especially designed for high-intensity biking in the mountain. Choose between a characteristic camouflage pattern or a rough looking mélange pattern. The shirts are loose fitted and the Tencel yarn in the jacquard knit, gives the shirts a silky soft and smooth feeling against warm summer skin, yet due to the jacquard-knit, this is a rough product with high durability.

"Tell us more about your COMPANY / PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY... "
Our goal is to make wool clothes without a negative impact on nature. Using natural material, extending the product´s lifetime through design, repair, reuse, sharing and rethinking waste.
Today we are 84 % natural and only use a few synthetic materials, exclusively to increase the durability of the garment. We continuously work to replace synthetic fibres with natural and degradable fibres.
All Devold wool is traceable and over 60 percent can be traced all the way down to the farm where the wool came from. Our garments are even marked with the farm where the wool came from.
Although we transport merino wool across large distances, we mainly use transport by sea or land. To reduce our carbon footprint, we’ll try to move all our production to our factory in Lithuania.

"We know there are FUN FACTS and / or a BACKSTORY! Please share!"
Last summer the shirts were sent to a female MTB-user/tester in Colorado, for testing the shirts in the hot temperature.
She was AMAZED! She was blown away by the silky feeling of the fabric in this garment.
Later on I got an e-mail where she told me, she would go MTB in Norway -bringing only ONE shirt…. : )
