Havbris Headover Kids is a soft merino wool neck warmer. It can be pulled well up over the face, and suits all winter activities and cool days the rest of the year.
“warms well without feeling tight or getting clammy.” – Christian M., Havbris customer
- Soft merino wool that many customers tell us doesn’t itch – even right against the skin.
- For children from 1 to 12 years
- On the coldest days: Havbris next to the skin, Hustadvika on top. The neck warmer fits easily inside the snowsuit.
- 100% merino wool. The wool is RWS-certified, with requirements for animal welfare and traceability throughout the value chain.

Lanullva Air
It’s the air that keeps you warm
It isn’t just the wool that makes the difference. It’s the way we knit it.
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. The following year, SINTEF tested the method on Svalbard.
- 1994Invented at Lyngstad, Norway
Brit knits the first sweater for Eilif.
- 1995Tested by SINTEF
Field-tested on Svalbard at −23 °C.
- 1996Svalbard, −50 °C
Worn by Scott Johnson, Arctic Polar, on Svalbard in February 1996.
How the knitting method works
Wool alone isn’t the whole explanation. What insulates is the still air held in the knit – and Brit’s method builds a lot of it in.

- 1Air knitted into every stitch
SINTEF described the knit as “a thick and open structure” with “a lot of air between the fibres”.
- 2The air holds the warmth
Your body heat stays in the air pockets, even when you take a break. SINTEF found that the insulation follows the amount of air in the knit.
- 3The wool does the rest
Wool can absorb a lot of moisture without feeling wet, so you stay warm when you stop after being active.
Inside the knit
Two layers for the coldest days
Havbris next to the skin and Hustadvika on top. Two layers with air in the stitch, made to be worn together when it gets really cold.
