Norwegian mountain cap in Ventile and real wool fleece
You don't often see the classic Norwegian mountain cap in the wild these days – and when you do, they're never as nice as this one. The tried-and-tested design is incredibly practical for winter and high-alpine exploits, but it's the materials that set Amundsen's Vidda hat apart. They've made it out of Ventile – a densely woven long staple organic cotton fibre that swells up when it gets wet, making it naturally wind and waterproof without any need for coatings, laminations or membranes. As if that wasn't enough, they've lined it with their famous wool mix fleece – a 55/45 mix of virgin wool and polyester that offers the texture of sherpa fleece coupled with the warmth of real sheep. Mountain headwear simply doesn't come better quality than this.

- 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.

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.
