Tweed-look mid-layer for frosty days
The Heroes hoodie is the perfect companion for blue hour spent on the porch of a Norwegian mountain hut after a long day on the snow. The soft lambswool and nylon blend is warm yet lightweight, and the distinctive slub weave gives it a sort of heathered look like Donegal tweed. The hood has a relaxed cut, with a drawstring closure to lock the wind out. Striped cuffs lend the Heroes hoodie a pop of style, while other details include a 'Spirit of Amundsen' patch on the upper sleeve and a sneaky little Norwegian flag at the peak of the hood

Amundsen clothing is named after one of the greatest explorers ever to walk the Earth. No pressure there then. In fact, the company’s co-founder, Jørgen Amundsen, is a relative of the legendary man himself, and the brand’s designs are based on classic styles from the golden age of exploration. Throw in a generous dash of 1960s Nordic ski resort chic and you’ve got a unique range of good-looking kit that’ll get you noticed in all the right ways.
However, there’s nothing old-fashioned about the way Amundsen’s 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’. It’s 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 that’s something we can all get on board with.
