Wool jackets

Wool alone is not complete rain protection. Add a suitable outer layer for prolonged wet weather and check any specific weather protection stated for the model.

Felted fabric has a compacted surface; a knitted structure can be more open depending on the stitches. Feel and airflow differ, and an added lining can change both.

Only when the care label permits it, including for wool blends. Devold advises following the individual label and its drying instructions.

Woolmark generally recommends drying wool jumpers flat unless the care label permits another suitable method. Avoid hanging heavy wet knitwear on a coat hanger.

For example, Salewa lists Salewa Fanes Sarner Light Jacket M at 665 g. Compare weight figures only when their reference sizes match.

Check shoulder width and sleeve length before the room at your waist and hem. Reach forwards as if holding walking poles, then sit down. Sizing up does not reliably fix a short back length; compare cuts when needed.
