When the temperatures drop, only the best gear will do. For mountaineer and endurance athlete Rasmus Kragh, winter is not a time to slow down — it’s a time to push harder, higher, and longer. As the first Dane to summit Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen, Rasmus knows exactly what it takes to perform in extreme conditions.
This season, he shares his winter favorites — tested by Rasmus Kragh and trusted for extreme performance. From base layers to Merino accessories and high-performance socks, these are the essentials that keep him warm, dry, and ready for any challenge.
Layer Up for Extreme Performance
When it comes to winter adventures, your base layer is your foundation for comfort and performance. Rasmus relies on the Extreme Base Layers from DANISH ENDURANCE for their exceptional warmth and moisture control.
Crafted with lightweight, breathable materials, these base layers regulate body temperature even during intense climbs or freezing runs. Whether you’re skiing, hiking, or training outdoors, they provide the perfect balance of insulation and freedom of movement — exactly what an adventurer like Rasmus demands.
Stay Warm from Head to Toe with Merino Wool
Rasmus’s next must-haves? Merino Wool accessories and Merino Wool trunks — designed for softness, breathability, and natural temperature regulation.
Merino wool’s thermo-regulating properties make it ideal for fluctuating conditions. It keeps you warm when it’s cold and breathable when you heat up, while also resisting odor — perfect for multi-day expeditions or long winter training sessions.
“Merino keeps me comfortable and focused, no matter how cold it gets,” says Rasmus.
