Shorts that'll take whatever you can throw at them

No-one does shorts quite like Amundsen, and these are just about the toughest ones in their, ahem, arsenal. Built in a rugged cotton twill, the fabric has been enzyme-washed for a distinctive faded look and a feel that's a lot softer than you might expect. The worn-in look and slightly roomier cut compared to some of their other models combines to make a pair of shorts with serious retro good looks. And of course, they're incredibly practical too. A handy touch is the double-folded front pockets that give you two compartments for the price of one – and of course they've also got the signature Amundsen features like a knife loop, Norwegian flag detailing, and coin pocket in faded red waxed cotton

- 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.
