A lazy-days beach hoodie with a difference

Why don't people make corduroy hoodies more often? Cord is soft, warm, and doesn't lose its 'bounce' as quickly as your common-or-garden cotton jersey fabric does. Fortunately, Oslo-based Amundsen Sports are on it – and as you might expect if you've encountered their gear before, there are no half measures here. The stretch corduroy they've used is properly velvety, made in 100% organic cotton. Style-wise, the button-and-loop neck and roomy front kangaroo pocket give it a salty surfer vibe that melds deliciously with the old-school luxury of the fabric. It’s something a bit different, and we reckon it’s an absolute winner

• • Manufactured Locally - Made in Serbia
  • 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 Sports 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.
