To us, this handsome little day pack from Amundsen has shades of those old army kit bags you used to take on cadet camp. It's a simple, timeless design with heaps of vintage adventure cool, constructed in a rugged mix of cotton canvas and leather that'll look even better once you get a bit of dirt and sun-bleaching on it. The roll-top and side zip make it quick and easy to load, with a couple of extra zip pockets for smaller items. The Vagabond is equally at home on a Toyota Land Cruiser in the Kalahari or aboard the number 29 bus, and the thoughtful addition of a laptop sleeve means you can bring a dash of safari style to your commute.
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.
