The Story about Brynje, the World's first mesh shirt and Mt. Everest. The family-owned company Brynje from Larvik in Norway has been world-renowned for quality, functionality, and durability since 1887. This year Jacob Jacobsen came ashore in Larvik and established "J. Jacobsen Trikotasje & Konfeksjon". The world’s very first mesh base layer resembled the historic Viking armour known as “brynje” and was invented by Henrik Brun from Uvdal in 1921. During the 1920s, the Brynje shirt – also known as the “health shirt” – was further developed in collaboration with the Norwegian Armed Forces. Later, it became an essential part of equipment on demanding expeditions. When Hillary and Tenzing became the first people to summit Mount Everest in 1953, they wore Brynje’s health shirt as the innermost layer against the skin. Mesh clothing is Henrik Brun’s invention, but today there are many Brynje-like copies on the market. With Brynje, you can be 100% certain you’re getting genuine, original mesh – developed by Brynje. Today, Brynje’s clothing is used by the world's leading polar guides, cold expeditions and people in tough professions. When Brynje's garments perform in the coldest places on Earth, they will certainly work for you too.
