Large

There’s one thing you can say about the Swedish: they know how to stay warm. This sweater is both stylish and warm. Pair it with a turtleneck and jacket to get through anything Winter can throw at you. Worth the price, will last forever.

Warm and comfortable but poor elasticity

I got cuffs so baggy that they’re like wizard’s sleeves after just 1 day of wearing and briefly rolling up to the elbow. Otherwise very warm, comfortable and surprisingly wind resistant. The cuff elasticity issue is the worst I’ve ever experienced.

Great, but not an activewear

I have bought mine 2 years ago and I love it. Maybe a little bit too much, so I have used it on spring/autumn hikes as well. Guess I shouldn't have as the fabric started to tear in several places under the armpits, probably due to the extensive friction. Real shame, I really wanted to get some more use out of them. I will probably try to sew the holes up myself and I'm hoping based on my review the next version of wool sweaters will have some strengthened fabric or some kind of improvement. That being said, I will happily buy again.

Great Sweater

Sweater is great at keeping me warm and is pretty soft for a wool sweater which I really appreciate.

Beautiful, but breakable

When I bought this sweater I was really happy. The Ovik Knit looked like amazing! And it really is! But, after 1 month I saw a hole under an elbow. I fixed it. After 8 months I noticed 3 holes on my chest! I don’t understand: I spent a lot of money to have a sweater that I was sure to endure. But it’s not so…. This is really depressing! The sweater is amazing but really breakable!!!!! I think that you can find better sweater on the market, also cheaper!

Overall happy

This is a comfortable sweater and fits well. 6’1 size large. My only complaint is that the reinforced elbow patches are positioned above my elbows. I believe the area most prone to wear would be on and below the elbow, rather than above. Not a big deal though.

Coolest sweater I’ve owned!

I just love it, so comfortable so warm!. I love the design and everything it’s perfect!

My most favourite jumper ever

Great piece of clothing. Been wearing it practically everyday for long dog walks during cold days, very comfortable, keeps you warm without overheating. I have even foolishly been out for a long walk before reading the weather forecast and got caught in long rain and sleet shower. After shaking like my dogs, water drops “shakes” off the jumper and I surprisingly stayed dry !! Expensive purchase but worth every penny

Warm and cozy

This is the best knitwear I've ever owned, yet. Comfortable, warms up and vent extra heat and sweat out just as fast. As a middle layer under a hardshell jacket, handles moving around in very cold weather very well. A must have
