Merino wool is a great choice for base layer clothing, and now we have combined it with fire-retardant materials – while being fire-retardant, this base layer item also protects against cold by warming your body and wicking away sweat.

• The product meets the requirements of the Personal Protective Equipment Regulation (EU) 2016/425
• Suitable for professional use
• Made in Finland

The product’s fire-retardant properties are based on the materials, not on a separately applied chemical treatment. Here's the link to the certificate information.

What FR is

This fire-retardant (FR) product is designed to be used as a base layer under protective garments that shield against heat and flame. The product is made from inherently fire-retardant and antistatic material which, when used correctly, provides temporary protection against heat, flames, and radiant heat.

What FR is not

NOTE: This garment does not grant you immunity to fire or fire-based magic – so don’t shoot yourself with a flamethrower or run into a burn pit. Fire-retardant clothing also does not protect you from the toxic gases produced during combustion.

L1 - Base Layer

The first layer of the Varusteleka clothing system, tasked with moisture management. A good next-to-skin base layer keeps you feeling comfortable in any conditions to do this it needs to be lightweight and effectively moisture wicking. We use a lightweight merino wool blend for our base layers, natural and very functional material for this purpose.
