Vidda Jacket

The last jacket you’ll ever buy?

If there’s one thing we love more than anything else about Norwegian brand, Amundsen, it’s that they want you to give their stuff a hammering. This isn’t gossamer-thin gear for ultra-runners – it’s tough, long-lasting outdoor armour for people who are on the mountain day-in, day-out. This tasty new Vidda jacket is made from Ventile, a densely woven organic cotton that was first developed in the mid-20th century. There are a lot of myths around Ventile’s history, but what isn’t in doubt is the incredible performance of this premium fabric. It’s silent, windproof, highly water-resistant, and more breathable than just about any other shell fabric. It doesn’t have any coatings or chemical treatments, so it won’t wear out with hard use though it will look better with plenty of dirt on it. Amundsen’s gear is ruthlessly tested by outdoor athletes and extreme adventurers, and they say they’ve never come across a material like it. This could well be the last jacket you ever buy.

• 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.

Great looking, feels warm.
