Roomy toilet bag in leather-trimmed cotton canvas
Every traveller needs one, but so often our toilet bag is the most, ahem, bog-standard bit of kit in our travel duffel. For a major upgrade, check out this wash bag from unrepentantly fancy Scandi brand, Amundsen. Constructed in tough 16oz cotton canvas with leather trim that'll only get better with age, it should do you for the rest of your adventuring career. At eight litres, it's unusually generous in size, making it perfect for the longer-haul. If you're after something a bit more compact, their rather confusingly named 'carry bag' is actually a more compact three-litre version of the wash bag.
- Large 8-litre toiletry bag for longer trips
- Made in durable 16oz cotton canvas with leather accents
- Amundsen leather patch on front
- Norwegian flag detailing and side buttons
- Small zipped interior pocket
- 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.
