A king among fleeces

This Field Fleece from Amundsen has about as much in common with your average fleecy mid-layer as a custom-build Aston Martin does with a Toyota Yaris. The Italian-made fleece is 39% virgin wool, the knitted cuffs and round collar are pure merino, and the reinforced patches on the yoke and forearms are wax cotton canvas from the 150-year-old Halley Stevensons mill in Dundee. Hell, even the press-stud buttons are specially made in Switzerland. And if all that sounds a bit too much like a glossy M&S ad ('this isn't just a fleece, this is an Amundsen fleece...'), the Field Fleece genuinely is a great bit of kit. It's warm and hardwearing, looks ruggedly handsome, and the waxed cotton panels will build up a distinguished patina over time

• • 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.

• 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.

Bought in Svalbard to have under my jacket, never been cold after!
