Chunky knit with vintage sporting style
This fresh variation on Amundsen's bestselling original Heroes turtleneck adds a dash of vintage sporting style to an old favourite. The main difference is the striking contrast band across the chest, embroidered with the Amundsen logo. As with its predecessor, the wool it's made from started out life on the back of a Norwegian sheep living a comparatively adventurous life (for a sheep) among the mountains of Hallingdal. So really, the Heroes turtleneck has had the Scandinavian fjells right down in its fibres since before it was a glint in its weaver’s eye. It's naturally warm, breathable and odour-resistant, designed for adventurous and sporty outdoor lives in the depths of the arctic winter

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.
