These outdoor trousers from Amundsen are built to keep up with the most relentless outdoor adventurers. They're constructed in organic cotton Ventile – one of the most sought-after performance materials in the mountaineering world. First developed in the mid-20th century, Ventile is a densely woven long staple fibre that swells when damp to provide waterproofing without the need for coatings or treatments. And that comes with a lot of benefits. For starters, it's silent, windproof and incredibly breathable, but also it just doesn't wear out like other outdoor fabrics. There's no need to be forever tech washing and reproofing, and in fact the Amundsen gear testers seem to take a perverse pride in letting theirs get as filthy as possible. These Vidda pants will take years of hard use, dirt and abrasion without losing their edge.

- 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.
