Based in the dramatic and demanding Norwegian mountains, Amundsen aren’t interested in making feather-light gear that’s trashed inside of a fortnight. Their game is building investment pieces that’ll endure years and years at the sharp end of adventure – and they’ve designed these 9-incher cargo shorts to have ‘the strength of leather’. Constructed in 100% waxed cotton canvas from legendary Dundee mill Halley Stevensons, they’re reinforced in the seat with a double-layer of material. Two hip pockets and double cargo pockets on the front leg give you plenty of room for tools and kit, whether you’re using them for backpacking, DIY or tinkering with your bike. The waxed canvas will develop a great patina over time, and the more you wear them, the better they’ll look – kind of like that old Barbour on a hook in the shed.
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.
