Boiled Half Zip

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.

• • Sustainability through Longevity: While the biggest polluters in the outdoor industry compete to make the most noise about recycling and other green initiatives, Amundsen focus on what matters most: fewer products. Through the use of quality materials, technology and craftsmanship, Amundsen continuously make sure your timeless and versatile garments last for generations.

• 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.
