- Hi folks!
Today, I decided to test my mesh thermal clothes (top and leggings) on a local hike to a new firepit shelter (called a kota in Finnish). I wanted to see how the clothes would fare at +3C. I wore a puffy jacket to increase my body heat while moving and promote sweating. The idea was to simulate heavier activity and then remove the puffy jacket, using only the base layer and a light polyester shirt on top. I tested how it feels to have only these layers, how fast the heat would dissipate and I would feel cold, and how well the mesh layers would perform in wicking sweat away from my skin. As we know, dry skin is warm skin.
The mesh top is made mainly from merino wool by the Norwegian company Aclima, while the leggings are synthetic (polypropylene) and are produced by Svala of Finland.
Overall, the clothes worked well for the light to moderate hiking activity in cool conditions. I hope to make follow-up videos of their performance during heavy activity (cross-country skiing) and as cooling garments in hot weather. Stay tuned!

Come along with me on my adventures! You are most welcome!
All the best, Kevin. :-)

Update! I have been skiing in Lapland this week using the same fishnet system under a shell suit. I am not super fit and I sweated a LOT but it worked well. The sweat on my back (under a rucksack) wicked through the mesh to a merino layer and wetted that out but mostly my skin was dry. It would have performed better if there were vents in the shell suit. By comparison, my legs stayed dry throughout the 15km ski trip.
Well, we can conclusively say that they're definitely best as *under*wear 🤣 Very detailed outline of how these work. I used to wear a mesh vest under my cycling jersey that worked really well in hot and cold temperatures but for some reason it's never occurred to use it for hiking! I'll have to give it a go and see what impact it has 👍
Definitely only underwear! In some other videos I've seen people reviewing mesh stuff, they also said that cyclists have been using them for ages already
Hey Kevin man. Love the fishnets.. they should really change the name. Sounds way too sexy for my liking 😅😅 you live in one beautiful place man. Interesting results. It's mad. I always find you can hike in really cold weather with light layers. Did a challenge recently where I had just 2 light layers on, a snood, hat and gloves. As long as you keep moving. Interesting results man.
Hope there were trousers included in those layers! 😳🤣
Thx for the review. I have 2 of the Aclima tops n would offer after washing to hang dry. One of mine shrunk in the dryer by one size.
Otherwise I agree these are very useful.
Ok, I just wash mine a 40C, stretch it and hang to air dry. It shrank a bit also. The mesh leggings I have from polypropylene can be washed at 60C.
that's commitment! but with all joking aside, thanks for the informative video as am looking into getting some. Stu
You're welcome! ☺️
Thank you for your review. I was looking for a test like that.
No problem. Have you given any thought to what brand you will get? Brynje, Aclima, etc.?
@@snowcelt From your video I think only Aclima would be an option for me as it is made with merino wool. I am looking for a natural fabric. However, I doubt if anyone out there makes 100% natural fabrics. The manufacturers tend to blend in at least 5% of something synthetic for durability or elasticity... Is Aclima 100% merino wool? I can't find this information on their website.
Oh, I found it now... WoolNet is 80% wool and 20% polyamide...
@@go2filip Hi. yes they all include some elastane or polyamide to add durability and flexibility. I guess you'd have to shop around to see which has the highest merino wool content.
Fantastic presentation man 👌👌
Thanks. ☺️
Very interesting. I'll have to look into these. Thanks for this.
No problem!
As a biker, maybe you're already aware of mesh vests that cyclists use? I checked on TH-cam, there are lots of videos about mesh or fishnet base layers that cyclists use in winter. It was new to me! ☺️
@@snowcelt I had no idea. Thanks.
God that is some look .
Thanks Kevin .. hope you receive my pay Pal donation
It is! Function over form!
@@snowcelt brother you are talking to the converted , whatever works .
Grab the bulk by the horns and get success . That's what counts
