Some scars are like tattoos – they tell you where you’ve been, what you’ve done, mountains you’ve climbed and races you’ve run. These shorts are like that. Designed to be worn year after year, season after season, in the woods, in the hills, on the water and everywhere else. They’re constructed from extra-strong Cordura from FOV Sweden, reinforced with large waxed cotton patches from Halley Stevenson, Scotland, pioneers of waxed cotton and weatherproofed fabrics. Yet they’re still lightweight and, with a bit of stretch, easy to move in. As you might expect, the pockets are deep and useful, with a clip loop on the right hand side to keep useful things close to hand. Timeless and durable, these shorts will last for years and actually improve with age. Every scrape in the fabric, the echo of an action taken; every wrinkle the signature of a journey done.
Amundsen shorts run on the small side. If you're on the cusp between two sizes, we suggest you take the larger size.

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.
