The Amundsen Breguet looks like the lovechild of a sporty performance shell and a vintage aviator's jacket. And like everything from this cult Norwegian brand, substance is every bit as important as style. Their extensive field-testing has seen this warm yet lightweight jacket travel round Cape Horn and as far as the windswept snowscapes of Antarctica. The outer is tough yet lightweight ripstop polyamide, while the lining is 120g Norwegian wool. Our favourite elements are the contrast ribbed collar, cuffs and waist – which are constructed in super-soft merino wool for itch-free insulation. Look closer and you'll also see some neat stitch detailing in the body panels and sleeves, plus the brand's signature Norwegian flag flashes on the zip, cuffs and inside collar.

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.
