Expedition jacket designed by actual adventurers
Ever been to the high Arctic in winter? We have. No joke, once we blinked too long and our eyelashes froze together. The product designers at Norwegian brand Amundsen know a thing or two about the sub-zero life. This is their home turf, after all, but they've also mounted Antarctic treks to test their gear. The Peak parka is their expedition-grade down jacket, and it's built to keep you warm in the coldest camps of your life. The 750 fill-power recycled down is enclosed in a tough polyamide shell, with water resistance to stop moisture affecting the insulation. It's cut deliberately roomy to fit over your shell jacket, and features an oversized helmet-compatible hood. Adjustable cuffs will ensure a tight seal with your mittens, and you've got double patch pockets to thaw your hands out if they get iced. Engineered for extreme conditions by folk who really know the environment, the Peak parka is an essential for cold-weather expeditions

- Sustainability through Longevity: While the biggest polluters in the outdoor industry compete to make the most noise about recycling and other green initiatives, Amundsen focus on what matters most: fewer products. Through the use of quality materials, technology and craftsmanship, Amundsen continuously make sure your timeless and versatile garments last for generations.
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.
