  • Amundsen's famous hiking breeches, in Austrian loden wool

    Amundsen's knickerbockers have a devoted (if niche) following – some of our team at WildBounds have been wearing them on the hill for years and absolutely swear by them. This is the heavyweight premium version – cut in double-woven loden wool from one of the oldest loden mills in the Alps. Loden is a fabric with serious heritage: developed for shepherds and farmers who needed something that would bead off rain, block wind and stay soft through brutal alpine winters. It's also naturally silent, which makes these a favourite with hunters. They're breeches, so they finish just below the knee and are best worn with long socks and/or gaiters.

      • Water repellent and windproof
      • Soft and silent – ideal for hunting
      • Traditional knickerbocker style
      • Integration system at knee cuffs for Amundsen gaiters
      • Hand pockets in front
      • Zipped back pocket
      • Watch pocket in waxed cotton
      • Made in Estonia
      • Weight: 608g
      • 100% double-woven loden merino wool from Leichtfried, Austria (est. 1884)
      • PFAS-free water-repellent treatment
      • 100% cotton lining
    • Size (cm) Height Chest Waist Seat
      S 170-178 91-96 73.5-78.5 92-97
      M 174-182 97-102 79.5-84.5 98-103
      L 178-186 103-108 85.5-90.5 104-109
      XL 182-193 109-114 91.5-96.5 110-115
      • 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.
