What do you do when you need your phone accessible but genuinely protected from weather? You get the Hrid Lanyard Pocket. This nifty little phone pouch is built from Retina Light Seawastex, a recycled nylon fabric with a waterproof rating of 10,000mm Hydrostatic Head, plus a water-protected lid opening that keeps rain out whilst remaining easy to access. There's a mesh pocket on the outside for things that don't need protection, dual compartments inside for cards and phone, and it fits most smartphones without requiring you to remove cases. The adjustable cord means you can position it however works – around your neck, across your body, or attached to pack webbing via the toggles. It’s perfect for hikes, festivals, or any situation where a ziplock bag ain’t gonna cut it.

The mountain town of Åre is kind of like a Swedish Chamonix. It’s home to the country’s biggest ski area, and the rugged terrain is criss-crossed by long-distance hiking paths, snowmobile trails and downhill biking tracks.
It’s from this gnarly outdoor playground that cult Scandi gear brand, Klättermusen, emerged back in 1975. The company started out as a bunch of local climbers turning out DIY technical gear from a small workshop, and within ten years they’d already built up a rep for innovative and impeccably designed kit.
These days outdoor manufacturers love to shout about their environmental credentials, but sustainability is nothing new for Klättermusen. It’s been part of their ethos since those early days of flares and prog rock, and they’ve always believed that good gear should be made to last. Their packs and clothing are designed to hold up reliably year after year in full-on Alpine and sub-Arctic conditions – and this is even more impressive when you consider that many of their fabrics incorporate recycled materials like discarded fishing nets and worn-out carpets.
Pretty much no-one else is making outdoor gear of this quality, but somehow 'the Climbing Mouse' continues to scuttle slightly under the radar. Mention Klättermusen’s packs to any serious Swedish mountaineer and they either have one or want one, but outside Scandinavia it's still very much an ‘if you know, you know’ sort of a brand.
