An adventure shell fit for Antarctica
If you’ve ever worried that your outdoor gear might not stand up to anything and everything you can throw at it, the Amundsen Peak Anorak is for you. It was first developed for an Antarctic expedition in 2011, so it’s fair to say it’s been put through its paces both then and since. A stretchy shell garment in a classic over-the-head smock style, the long pit zips on the sides provide plenty of ventilation and make it easy to get on and off. The hood’s cut for a helmet with optional fur trim, and the roomy chest pocket sits conveniently clear of your waist belt if you’re hauling a backpack or pulk. The stretch three-layer fabric from Schoeller Switzerland is breathable, waterproof and hard-wearing, making the Amundsen Peak Anorak an incredibly versatile outer layer that’ll see you from the depths of the Arctic winter right through into spring

- 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.
