The kind of thing that makes you think, This is exactly what I needed.
Not your average merino mid-layer
Rather like their namesake, the legendary explorer Roald Amundsen, this Norwegian brand likes to do things that bit better than the competition. Take this half-zip mid-layer, for example. Made in 100% top-quality merino wool, it covers a lot of bases thanks to its clever mix of different weights and textures. They've opted for a warm and wind-resistant boiled wool fabric for the front and back but because their garms are built for active Nordic lifestyles, they've also inserted rib-knit side panels to ramp up the ventilation and flexibility. Zip it right up and you've got a cosy ribbed turtleneck, zip it down and you've got a relaxed open-neck sweater that's great for layering under heavier gear in winter. It's versatile and stylish, and we want one.

Amundsen clothing is named after one of the greatest explorers ever to walk the Earth. No pressure there then. In fact, the companys co-founder, Jrgen Amundsen, is a relative of the legendary man himself, and the brands designs are based on classic styles from the golden age of exploration. Throw in a generous dash of 1960s Nordic ski resort chic and youve got a unique range of good-looking kit thatll get you noticed in all the right ways.
However, theres nothing old-fashioned about the way Amundsens gear performs. Ruggedly built from merino wool and waterproof triple-layer cotton, these are serious expedition-grade garments built for a Scandi outdoor culture a concept that the Norwegians call friluftsliv, or open-air life. Its the idea that time spent enjoying the freedom of the outdoors should be a core part of your life, since it enhances just about everything else. Now thats something we can all get on board with.
A simple addition that makes a noticeable difference.
