knees that reach up to the waist, protecting the areas that can cold easily. This has changed so much for me that I don’t always have to wear a second pair of bottoms underneath. What’s great as well is the adjustable waistband. My tip is to get them in the size that fit snug and comfortable when trying on. I find that the pants barely get wider over time. 3. A GAME CHANGER: MERINO SHORTS! My weakest spots when I am exposed to challenging conditions are the sides of my thighs and my buttocks. Wind can impact that area a lot, but the body also prioritizes keeping vital organs warm, which leads to less blood flow in certain areas. In any case, I am glad I found a solution that makes all the difference to me: Merino shorts! This is the trick I recommend a lot and has been a game changer especially for women. The unisex shorts from Ruskovilla are again made from 100% organic, merino wool with a knit weight of 210 g/m² and are produced in Finland and feel just amazing on the skin. No itchiness guaranteed. I wear the shorts either by itself in the beginning of winter or underneath my base layer for additional warmth. I noticed that the shorts get a little looser after some time, so I recommend going for a smaller size. But if you prefer to wear the shorts on top of your base layer, go for a bigger size. 4. GOES ON TOP OF EVERYTHING: WOMEN’S WOOL FLEECE JACKET The fleece jacket is not classified as base layer, but because it is so versatile and comfortable that it has become an all-year round favourite for me. I winter I wear the merino wool jacket over my base layer and on warmer days just over a shirt for example. The design is simple and timeless which is great so I can combine the jacket with a pair of jeans or my usual outdoor look. And with a knit weight of 300 g/m², it keeps you toasty. What I appreciate a lot is the two-way zipper and zippered pockets. Very practical. Wool doesn’t require frequent washing, which makes the product even more attractive in my opinion. I wouldn’t wear the jacket when I am highly active as it is not intended for hard wearing activities. 5. WEAR IT INDOORS OR OUTDOORS: WOMEN’S WOOL FLEECE PANT The fleece pants is a product I was curious about, but not sure if I would need or use them much. They seem

too warm for me to wear around the house and not the kind of garment I would wear when I go outside in winter. Well, now I am glad I have them as I use them frequently. They are as warm and soft as the fleece jacket, again made from 100% organic merino wool. Yet again here you can really feel the body temperature regulating properties of merino wool. It warms you when cold and cools you when warm. I find these pants incredibly comfortable to wear indoors when I am at home. Not too warm at all. And they just fit so nicely. The waistband is adjustable in case you need to tighten it up. I wear the fleece pants when I go for an easy walk or in the garden in dry conditions, too, but for anything more demanding I would use more hardwearing materials as my outer layer and not these pants. LAST BUT NOT LEAST Whether you’re cross-country skiing, ice fishing, hiking, at work or simply enjoying a day at home, Ruskovilla’s great selection of wool layers are versatile and offer an option for many different situations to stay dry, warm and comfortable. Investing in quality wool base layers that you can rely on, that have been produced locally with high-quality and responsible sourced, organic material makes all the difference to me. So, whether you’re off to your next winter holiday or cozying up by the fire after a day outdoors, I am sure you are now ready to embrace the cold!
