Anti-Tex 2.0 Half Zip is a thin wool top with a zip at the neck, made to be worn right against the skin, on its own or as the inner layer under your jacket. Products in the Anti-Tex collection give you extra protection against insects such as ticks, mosquitoes and other parasites when you spend time outdoors in forests and the wild. Little or no tick attachment has been recorded on the bodies of those who have worn Lanullva Anti-Tex. Very low levels of permethrin are added to the yarn during dyeing, so that ticks do not want to settle in the garment.
Knitted using Brit’s knitting method – air knitted into every stitch, which keeps you warm. 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.
“Very good at regulating temperature. Few to no deer keds on the sweater when I came back after 6 hours of hunting.” – Kristian E.
- Soft merino wool that many customers tell us doesn’t itch – even right against the skin.
- In dense undergrowth: wear a shell layer on top so the knit doesn’t snag
- 100% merino wool (20.5 microns). The wool is RWS-certified, with requirements for animal welfare and traceability throughout the value chain.
- Certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
- The effect against ticks decreases after 30–40 washes.

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.
