Thermal shirt Alaska, tested in the Lofoten Islands, Norway (Arctic Circle)

The thermal shirt Alaska lives up to the icy place where its name comes from, and successfully passed its performance expectations under freezing weather conditions, also in static mode. Alaska is the most versatile first layer thermal shirt of the company. Besides its high levels of core body temperature retention, it is a perfect garment for sport activities where perspiration is high in winter (such as trail running or skiing). The reason is that it expels moisture and sweat from your body and keeps you cool and dry at all times.
The test has been carried out by the Valencian photographer Alberto Tormo, from the 14th to the 21st of November in the Lofoten Islands (Norway). This is his fourth trip in order to take photos of the Northern Lights, a meteorological phenomenon uncommon to see. To take these pictures, Tormo spends full days under the open sky, with temperatures between -3ºC/3ºC during the day and -6ºC/-14ºC at night. In such extreme conditions, core body temperature retention is vital to maintain you warm all along the hours of waiting time.



Odourless properties

As it happens with all the rest of the Lurbel thermal garments, Alaska is characterized by its antibacterial action, which eliminates bad odours caused by sweat. This feature is confirmed by Alberto Tormo in his test, as he assures that he changed his shirt in the middle of the trip because he had a spare shirt, but not because of any inconvenience with bad odours or because of sweating. This model also stands out because of its high adaptability and this fact strengthens its core body temperature retention features, as it is a first layer garment.
