After we looked at the Tentipi last week and how this can offer the perfect way to make camping attractive to the whole family we have decided this week to explore what we think might be the perfect one person tent. Iconic Swedish tent manufacturer Hilleberg have been producing the Soulo since 2008 and in this time it has emerged as the gold standard of strong and durable one man tents. We’ve taken a closer look at what makes this such an incredible shelter for any expedition in the latest Nordic.
While everything seems uncertain in the world there's one thing that remains standard, our colleague Harvey will go into every detail when reviewing some new kit from Nordic Outdoor. There's nothing different here as he looks at the performance of the Aclima Warmwool Hooded Sweater that we've pulled from the archives before the current pandemic. .
Our resident adventurer Harvey takes one of our most popular products out for another rigorous gear test. The Vidda Pro trousers from Fjallraven are a bushcraft staple thanks to their tough material and clever design features. Read on to see how they fare in less than favourable conditions.
Here at Nordic Outdoor we love to see the gear we sell get given a good test in the environment it was designed for. The Amundsen Heroes Turtleneck is one of our favourite items from the last season and our local Action Man Harvey Strachan last weekend put it to the test showcasing it's just as good at the top of a Munro as it is in a cosy Edinburgh pub. Find out how Harvey and the Nordic Outdoor team got on with this iconic piece of knitwear in the latest Nordic Outdoor blog. .
With Christmas just around the corner the streets and TV screens are soon going to be filled with images of Santa and reindeers and here at Nordic Outdoor we have just received our bi-annual top up of Gealtan Reindeer Hides! These incredible looking and fantastically cosy hides are multi-functional and can be used both in and outdoors and provide an important link to the Scandinavian roots of Nordic Outdoor. While reindeer hides are an incredibly popular choice for home decoration there are also.
Do you have a burning question about the construction of a baselayer, the bevel of an axe or the tear strength of your tent? In our newest feature staff member Julia tackles some of our most asked questions and gives her opinion on the best kit for your next expedition! .
Axe related activities have exploded in popularity in recent years, and there are now a number of different events taking place across the world centered around the axe. As axe experts, we thought it would be a good idea to round up a selection of the best, most interesting and frankly strangest axe activities we could find taking place in the world right now. .
Everyone who has read any of our blogs before will know we love wool. Even with our borderline obsession with this natural high-tech fibre, we couldn’t possibly be suggesting that you should wear wool in the Summer. Well that’s where your wrong! Read on in this blog to learn just why wool is the perfect choice for base layers in the Summer months.
