Field Shorts are designed for the Norwegian way of life- where the outdoors meets everyday moments. Constructed with robust Swedish Cordura fabric and reinforced with waxed cotton panels from Scotland, these shorts combine durability with timeless outdoor style.

True to their name, these shorts are made for the field—or anywhere your “Spirit of Adventure” takes you. Amundsen is taking these on a Field Shorts Tour. Come see what it is all about at the Memorial Day BBQ.

With a brand legacy defined by the expeditions of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, Amundsen Sports creates innovative products rooted in the Scandinavian tradition. While designed with the outdoors top of mind, their products remain just as suitable in town as they are in the mountains.

Inspired by the skillset of his great-grand-uncle Roald, Jørgen Amundsen, Amundsen founder and designer, questioned the way people today dress for their outdoor activities. It seemed as if the market had forgotten essential knowledge built up over centuries. Jørgen wanted to do something about this and approached his childhood friend Erik Friis with his ideas. Jørgen and Erik had been competing in the same ski club in Oslo and had done some traveling together in Patagonia. Erik welcomed the challenge, and together they founded Amundsen Sports out of Oslo, Norway, in 2009.

Amundsen’s take on the outdoors is not like the others. They are as adventurous as any, and their sportswear can allow you to conquer the highest mountains in the harshest conditions. But they believe that being an “outdoor brand” is not all about being extreme and pushing the limits. It’s also about having fun and enjoying nature as one big playground.

Friluftsliv (Free-air-life), a century-old Norwegian philosophy, embodies the values of what nature gives in return. It offers us a sense of detachment from the daily grind, empowering and reinvigorating us as we seek stability and longevity.

Growing up with Friluftsliv as the primary influence in his life, Roald Amundsen’s lifelong appreciation and respect for nature were fostered. He learned how to live with nature, not in opposition to it. This enduring relationship with nature allowed Amundsen to develop a humility and reverence towards the wild, proving critical in his historic feats of expedition.

Friluftsliv, regardless of activity, is simply being in harmony with nature.
