Havbris Wool Long Johns are the light layer. Thin, soft merino wool that you wear next to the skin, under your jeans, hiking trousers or ski trousers. They are light enough to wear at work and for training.
The long johns are knitted using Brit’s knitting method – air knitted into every stitch, which keeps you warm even when you stand still. Brit invented the method in 1994 because Eilif came home wet and cold from the forest and the farm. The method was tested by SINTEF in 1995, including on Svalbard at −23 °C. Wool can absorb a lot of moisture without feeling wet, so you stay warm even when you stop after being active.
“Keeps me warm without getting sweaty.” – Heidi A.T., Havbris customer
- Soft merino wool that many customers tell us doesn’t itch – even right against the skin.
- Next to the skin under your trousers, at work, on hikes and for training
- On the coldest days: Havbris next to the skin, Hustadvika on top
- 100% merino wool. The wool is RWS-certified, with requirements for animal welfare and traceability throughout the value chain.

The story behind Lanullva

Grandmother’s invention
Eilif came home cold and sweaty from working on the farm at Lyngstad, on Norway's harsh north-west coast. In 1994, Brit Vinje Lyngstad invented a knitting method with air knitted into every stitch – and Eilif stopped being cold.
