Timeless luggage for old-school expeditions
This soft and squishy duffel bag is the sort of thing you can imagine chucking in the back of a bush plane sometime in the 1960s as you set off to do something seriously intrepid for the National Geographic. Made in tough cotton canvas with a leather base and handles, it's a handsome piece of kit from the get-go, but it'll look a whole lot better once it's had a chance to soak up some red dust and oil stains. Apart from the zipped main compartment, it's also got stash pockets at each end, a smaller zipped pocket on the side, and a 'ski strap' (in the colours of the Norwegian flag, of course) so you can attach dirty boots or other items to the outside of the bag. There's an adjustable and removable shoulder strap for a more comfortable carry, and the Okavanga comes in two variants – a cabin-friendly 35 litres and an expedition-sized 65 litres

- 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 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.
