The Norwegian wool specialist Aclima is expanding its successful FleeceWool range for the winter of 2020/21. The material has nothing in common with the current ideas of fleece. Aclima’s fleece collection is made of 100% merino wool and thus combines a very soft and pleasant feel with all the advantages of wool. In addition to base- and midlayers in new styles and colours, Aclima will also be presenting the new WoolNet Hybrid range at the ISPO in January. The successful use of WoolNet in the right places ensures maximum temperature regulation. Thus the traditional house from the north will once again demonstrate the diverse processing and application possibilities of the natural raw material merino wool.
Aclima FleeceWool – 100% Merino
One year after the introduction of the FleeceWool range, it is clear that the hoodies and joggers made of 100% merino wool do have one disadvantage: you don’t want to take them off. Therefore Aclima continues the success story of this extremely soft and warm material in HW 20/21 and presents new styles and colours. For men and women as well as in the Junior Collection there is, besides the hoodies with front pocket, a bagless version with crew neck. The new FleeceWool jacket is no less comfortable and cuddly, but a little more detailed. On the inside, brushed merino wool makes for a pleasant feel and absorbs moisture. The warm jacket has a practical small pocket at chest height and on the sleeve. Like the entire FleeceWool range, the absolute lightweight with high collar is made of 100% merino wool. The 19.5 micron merino fleece with eco-tex certification is processed in Aclima’s own factory in Estonia.
Aclima WoolNet Hybrid – it’s a match
In the new WoolNet Hybrid series, a soft mesh and rib knit combination of the finest merino wool ensures that sweat is wicked away, the skin feels dry and heat accumulation is prevented. The long-sleeved crew and mock neck shirts with long sleeves guarantee a high level of ventilation during activity and good insulation during breaks. The shoulder area as well as the lower back are made of rib knit and promise a comfortable carrying of a backpack.
About Aclima

Over three generations the wool specialist grew into an important and competent textile manufacturer and soon became a specialist in merino wool sports underwear for men, women and children. Aclima has the right functional underwear for every sport, always keeping you warm and dry at the same time: when running, hiking, cycling, climbing, cross-country skiing or hockey.
