For a UK audience, the name of Amundsen’s ‘Five-Mile’ Half Zip mid-layer is a bit misleading. In Scandinavia, a ‘mile’ is ten kilometres, so this is a garment that is built for some truly massive days. Designed for strenuous, fast-moving tours in cold mountain conditions, the 5 Mila is made in a lightweight merino blend that’s quick-drying and moisture-wicking but insulating at the same time. It’s itch-free so you can wear it next to your skin as a heavier base layer, and the design has a vintage sportswear vibe with go-faster stripes down the arms. You’ll need them if you’re going to eat up 50km before the day’s out…

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.
