The Gyme is Klättermusen's answer to full-day technical missions where bulk is the enemy and every adjustment matters. Built around a ventilated carrying system with S-shaped shoulder straps, it's designed for people who've learned that a pack bouncing around on steep ground is more than annoying – it's genuinely dangerous. The body-hugging hip belt keeps weight where it belongs, whilst the helmet carry on top doubles as a skin compartment when you're transitioning from ski to boot. There's a top lid pocket for essentials, a side zipper into the main compartment for grabbing layers without unpacking everything, and a front bungee system for wet shells or crampons. You also get quick-release ice axe toggles, side ski straps that work as compression straps, and a separate safety compartment on the front for avalanche kit. Made from waterproof recycled nylon and weighing just 917g, it's light enough to not resent carrying, yet tough enough to survive in rock, snow and ice.

The mountain town of Åre is kind of like a Swedish Chamonix. It’s home to the country’s biggest ski area, and the rugged terrain is criss-crossed by long-distance hiking paths, snowmobile trails and downhill biking tracks.
It’s from this gnarly outdoor playground that cult Scandi gear brand, Klättermusen, emerged back in 1975. The company started out as a bunch of local climbers turning out DIY technical gear from a small workshop, and within ten years they’d already built up a rep for innovative and impeccably designed kit.
These days outdoor manufacturers love to shout about their environmental credentials, but sustainability is nothing new for Klättermusen. It’s been part of their ethos since those early days of flares and prog rock, and they’ve always believed that good gear should be made to last. Their packs and clothing are designed to hold up reliably year after year in full-on Alpine and sub-Arctic conditions – and this is even more impressive when you consider that many of their fabrics incorporate recycled materials like discarded fishing nets and worn-out carpets.
Pretty much no-one else is making outdoor gear of this quality, but somehow 'the Climbing Mouse' continues to scuttle slightly under the radar. Mention Klättermusen’s packs to any serious Swedish mountaineer and they either have one or want one, but outside Scandinavia it's still very much an ‘if you know, you know’ sort of a brand.
