Hustadvika is the warm layer. The wool trousers are thicker than Havbris and made for low activity and severe cold: hunting, ice fishing, boating, dog sledding or chopping wood.
They are knitted using Brit’s knitting method – air knitted into every stitch, which keeps you warm even when you take a break. Brit Vinje Lyngstad invented the method in 1994 for Eilif, who was cold in the forest. 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.
“Best suited to low activity or very severe cold, they are really warm!” – Kim B.
- Soft merino wool that many customers tell us doesn’t itch – even right against the skin.
- Wear them right against the body or as a mid layer under your shell trousers.
- 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 trousers are long in the leg. If you are around 160–166 cm, they may be too long.
- Svein in the picture is 194 cm and wears XL. Stine is 169 cm and wears S.

WHO IS BEHIND IT
Knitted using Brit's knitting method
In 1994, Brit Vinje Lyngstad knitted a sweater with extra air in the stitches for her husband, Eilif, who came home wet and cold from work on the farm. The garment you are looking at is knitted according to the same principle.
Today, her daughter Gunn Anne and her children carry Lanullva forward from Atlanterhavsveien.
