Wool is nature’s perfected high-performance fabric.

It absorbs moisture, leaving your skin feeling dry and comfortable, no matter how much you push your body. One key element is that wool keeps you warm on cold winter days. However, it also has the ability to keep you cool in the summer.


Wool needs no artificial fibers to add flexibility. It also has natural antibacterial properties which will keep your skin protected while causing no harm to the planet.

At Dæhlie, we know that wool works

For over 20 years, DÆHLIE has been developing groundbreaking apparel for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Developed by one of Norway's most decorated winter athletes in collaboration with a team of experts. DÆHLIE Sportswear continues to pursue perfection and maximize performance.

Wool, believe it or not, is one of the world’s most technically advanced performance fibers. It combines a unique ability to fend off both wear & tear and tough weather conditions. Wool also has the ability to provide maximum comfort even through the most challenging workouts.

Working with high-performance athletes for more than 20 years. We have learned that wool is, without a doubt, the ideal fabric for sportswear, 365 days a year.

DÆHLIE Sportswear constantly seeks innovation in its fabrics. We are constantly looking for the right combinations of textile mixes to develop products to meet athletes' needs. Textiles such as wool, natural fibers, or synthetics are key elements to make the best products possible.

We know that products consisting of wool tend to feel nice and light to your skin. It also keeps your body temperature balanced, and makes you focus on your best training performance.

Natural fibers

Wool is one of nature's most advanced materials, fit for high performance and hard work. Maximum technical qualities paired with high sustainability. Wool is both biodegradable and renewable. It requires less frequent washing than other fabrics.

Dæhlies wool products are so thin and lightweight and do not itch, it leaves the feeling that you are not wearing anything. If you are still skeptical, we challenge you to should try our iconic base layers, t-shirts, or wool tights. They are 100% itch-free guaranteed.

Thermoregulation

DÆHLIE has developed the ultimate wool-wear for every season. When it comes to regulating body temperature whilst training, wool is superior to any other material. Wool fibers adapt to their surroundings, keeping you warm or cool depending on the conditions.

Wool has the ability to serve as nature’s sun protector. Wool has been protecting sheep against the elements for thousands of years, through rainstorms, freezing winds, and the scorching sun. Merino wool efficiently absorbs UV radiation, making it an ideal material for outdoor activities!

Maximize your training with Training Wool from Dæhlie. During tough uphill intervals, our lightweight Performance Wool T-Shirt will cool you down to help you push even harder. Made of 50% Merino wool, the Performance Wool T-Shirt is the all-time favorite among our test athletes and brand ambassadors.

We know that it can be difficult to dress right during the winter. The difference between your best training session and getting a frostbite can be short. Our best tip is to wear a merino base layer close to your skin to keep your body temperature steady.

Our cross-country skiing jackets are all made with the latest wind and weather-resistant high-tech materials where wool panels in the lining provide extra protection on colder days. With DÆHLIE, the weather is never an excuse to not accomplish your goal.

Moisture wicking

Wool fibers can absorb an impressive amount of moisture, be it water or sweat, and then allow it to evaporate. This unique moisture transportation system makes wool garments less susceptible to clinging onto your skin and more comfortable. Wool is breathable and it keeps you warm and comfortable even when the garment is wet.

Remarkably, wool also resists the build-up of odor molecules. It eliminates the need to add skin- and nature-damaging antibacterial substances to achieve that “fresh for longer” feeling. The reason for this is that it contains protein molecules in its fibers. These fibers are able to avoid trapping odor and break down odor-forming bacteria.

This makes wool an ideal material for underwear. As DÆHLIE’s lead designer contends: “the anti-bacterial and insulating features of wool make it the perfect material for underwear”.

Wool is perfect for controlling body moisture during exertion.
