Feels like cotton, performs like a synthetic

All too often on the trail you end up stewing inside a heavy shell jacket when what you really needed was a good windproof. Something exactly like the Ansur jacket from Klättermusen, in fact. The Ansur is made from organic Katla cotton, which has been pressure and heat treated to give it properties more commonly associated with synthetics. It's windproof, water-repellent, breathable and durable. As with everything from Klättermusen, the features on this trekking jacket are also extraordinarily well thought-out, having been refined through extensive testing in the demanding conditions of the Scandinavian mountains. The sleeves are cut long, the pockets are placed clear of your backpack hip-belt, and the hood is fully adjustable. The Ansur’s also incredibly comfortable, thanks to abrasion-free interior seams and an angled neck zip lined with brushed tricot. Destined to be a trail staple

• 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.

The hood adjusts perfectly and fits really well to my head
