This sweater wears its colours quite literally on its sleeve. A subtle Norwegian flag on one cuff and an Amundsen expedition patch on the shoulder remind you that the Peak half-zip has serious mountain pedigree. The Peak is a sporty-looking, fitted mid-layer. Lightweight and breathable with ribbed cuffs and waist, it’s got a high neck that you can zip up for warmth or leave open for ventilation. Made in stretchy merino wool, it’s warm, wicking and quick-drying. It’s naturally odour-resistant and it won’t itch so you can even wear it next to your skin as a heavier base layer. Sling it in your backpack and head for the hills

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.
