How to dress in Northern Norway
We dress in layers. By dressing in multiple layers you keep yourself both warm and dry, and when you get back inside it’s easy to adapt by taking off a few layers. Check out what we recommend for the different seasons.
Winter
Under LayerLong thermal baselayer blouse
This is the part that is mostly responsible for keeping you warm, make sure to get one made of 100% wool or 100% wool with a polyester liner. Avoid cotton because it will make you freeze when it gets wet.
Under LayerLong thermal baselayer pants
Just as important as the blouse, the pants are responsible for keeping you warm. Make sure to get a pair that is made of 100% wool or polyester. Avoid cotton because it will make you freeze when it gets wet.
Under LayerWool socks
