fall & winter 2016 Nature is not a competition. No one is better at it than anyone else.

It can’t be taught. Just learned.

In 1960, Åke Nordin founded Fjällräven in his basement in the Swedish town of Örnsköldsvik.

Since then we have stayed true to our mission of developing timeless, functional and durable outdoor equipment, acting responsibly towards people, animals and the environment and inspiring more people to discover outdoor life.

Keb

Last year, Fjällräven introduced something truly remarkable: the Keb Eco-Shell. Not that we haven’t launched pioneering innovations before – but this... was different. It’s a product that oozes everything we stand for as a brand. Because we could have gone with another ­waterproof solution years ago, but chose not to. We knew there must be a better way. Without fluorocarbon impregnation, and made entirely of recyclable polyester. Now, that is Fjällräven.

At no point in our long history have we been more determined to make sustainability our number one priority. Today, nothing is more relevant for the outdoor enthusiast than the opportunity to trace gear upstream to check whether materials and production are ethical and environmentally sound. Anything else has become an instant deal breaker for the conscious adventurer. So as a brand, it’s absolutely necessary to perform in transparency as well as function, in honesty as well as durability and in sincerity as well as design. This season, we are happy to announce that our award winning Keb Eco-Shell series is complemented by Övik, Lappland and Värmland Eco-Shell.

Our Down Promise, which enables traceability in production, has been further deepened. We are now using PFC-free impregnation across the brand. And the Re-Kånken is here: a true heir to our long time hero from 1978 – using a water-conserving SpinDye® coloring technology and recycled polyester as raw material. And the best part of all this hard work: we love it. It’s in total sync with our DNA and who we are, and always have been. It’s all about creating gear that allows as many people as possible to make nature a bigger part of their lives. That was our reasoning in 1960. And that is our reasoning today.

Without nature, we’re nothing.

Outdoors is for real

Climbing became a way of getting around in the mountains. The weather, wind and seasons are all part of traditional climbing – which has more to it than difficult moves and fixed line ­routes. Felix ­Aejmelaeus-Lindström, production ­coordinator at Fjällräven, always wants to get out, and get higher. text & photo : håkan wike

”

I like to find a balance between excitement and control.

elix was only seven when he and his younger brother tried climbing for the first time – on the bunks in their bedroom. His passion for climbing started right there on those bunks complete with harnesses and ropes, thanks to a babysitter whose playful relationship with mountains and climbing was a big influence.

“It was fantastic,” remembers Felix twenty years later. “And quite soon after she took us out into the mountains to try climbing there.

Even if we thought it was a big adventure then, we probably only crawled around on a little rock, but she taught us the importance of equipment, safety and of being careful.”

His early childhood in Switzer-

land with his mother, father and younger brother and sister gave him a natural connection to mountains and trekking, and using ropes and belaying devices became a given part of it all. After his first climb on the bunk bed, he clearly remembers the feeling of getting out into the mountains with his own backpack, rope and harness when he was only seven.

“Challenges and experiences can always be found, regardless of if you are a beginner or a professional. But I like to find a balance between excitement and control. I am naturally a bit careful. The times I have been frightened I have either turned back or hurt myself. I have learnt to listen to my fear – it is a natural warning signal.”

And of course everyone in the group you are with should have the same approach.

“I have on occasion said no when I have felt that the person I am climbing with takes too many risks.

It is important that you can set boundaries and dare to trust your judgement. It is also about being able to read nature and the situation.”

Felix likes the analytical part of traditional climbing, for him it is closer to nature’s terms and what is happening at that moment. Here and now.

“Being a good competitive climber, who is strong and fast after hundreds of hours indoors is not worth much if you are never outside. The hours I have spent in the mountains have given me invaluable experi-

7

ence. Nature can never be perfect theoretically. It is practical.

“When you are outdoors you have to be able to see changes, a climb that was straightforward on a warm summer’s day is entirely different in bad weather. An icefall can be stable one metre and porous the next. Experience lets you operate at a higher capacity and makes more things possible.”

Now Felix and his wife are expecting big changes. Their first child together will change their climbing situation a lot. That she will get the chance to experience nature with her parents, both of whom are climbers, means that they will need to take on new roles. Things will have to be on her terms – she will come first now.

“For me it was always about fun when we were outdoors when we were small, never about performance. That was how we learned, my brother and I. Climbing in trees, on rocks, going up to a hut in the Alps with our parents and having fun in the mountains.”

This is something he would like to pass onto the next generation too.

It is all about starting at a simple and safe level. ”Now the most important thing is to make sure our daughter enjoys being out in nature, that she thinks it is fun to be outside. I am really looking forward to it. And, in time, I hope that she will take an interest in climbing too.”

Nature for me is: Freedom – doing what I want and taking the consequences. Relaxed and casual outings. I have chosen to be out there myself. Relaxation – getting away from everything else. I can think about what I am doing right now, concentrate on my next move or hold. Peaceful – in relation to being outdoors. There are never any musts or performance goals when I am outdoors, it is still just for fun.

Favourite garment: A thin, lightweight down jacket is more or less a must regardless of if you are out in the summer or the winter. Pak Down Jacket is a favourite.

Nature and people are ­connected.

” At home in nature Nature is a part of us and more important than anything else, claims Elísabet Elfa, the designer who feels most at home when she is outdoors. Originally from Iceland, but now living in Stockholm, she wishes she had more wilderness areas closer to home. text & photo : håkan wike

B

eing outside is essential for Elísabet Elfa. She wants to be surrounded by untouched, lush and undisturbed nature. She likes the challenge of mountain climbing, skiing down a slope she has skinned up herself or trekking and camping in the wilderness. But primarily, nature is a place to just be.

“I really want to be closer to nature, and this feeling has been growing in me since I started living in cities, almost ten years ago. In Reykjavik in Iceland, you can see the sea and the mountains from the city and in just 15 minutes you can be at the foothills.”

Even if she likes “doing things” when she is outdoors, such as ac-

10

tivities like trekking from one place to another with a backpack and boots, the most important thing for Elísabet is to be outside. Preferably every day, often with others but just as happily by herself sitting on a rock with a sketchbook. This is where she can feel the inspiration flowing. Sometimes it can be the start of a new garment or product.

Sometimes it is just a feeling that takes shape on paper.

“Nature and people are connected,” says Elísabet. “Maybe this is why I feel so free in the outdoors. I am most like ‘me’ when I am out there.”

For Elísabet, the connection between nature and people is a given, and she feels that more of us need to think a bit harder about how people

affect both our close environment and the world's global climate.

“We have to understand that everything is connected, that the ecosystem and nature are part of us as people. The more people who get out there and discover what we need to take care of, the bigger the chance we have of making the right changes.”

Elísabet also has a strong and personal attachment to nature, less tangible and more difficult to explain, but very real to her. The feeling often comes when she is far away from urban life and civilisation: “Sometimes I have to change the rock I am sitting on because it feels like I am disturbing something,” says Elísabet with a smile. “I know

11

that sounds pretty strange, but I can feel a presence when I'm out in the wilderness – a kind of power or energy that I can't explain.”

She often brings up the power of nature when she speaks: a stormy ocean or a thundering waterfall.

Forceful, demanding weather.

“I think that Icelandic people have a natural resistance to ‘bad’ weather, we are outside all the time. When my friends here in Sweden think that it is really windy I often don’t know what they are talking about.”

She loves nature’s large, all-consuming energy but she also likes to take a closer look at the small details. Often it’s plants, patterns and formations on the ground that catch her eye.

“This is perhaps the reason that I have a terrible sense of direction, I am always looking down,” she laughs and explains how she likes photography. She likes finding things that are tiny – experiences that many walk straight past. Her pictures are often used in collages at home – macro pictures of small details made by Mother Nature.

“A lot of my friends look at my photos and wonder how I see everything, they were there in the same place with me. But they don’t look down like I do – they don’t take the time to look at things up close.

There is so much more to nature than what you see at first glance.”

Likes: Trekking, skiing, photography and climbing

Nature for me is: Freedom – it is all up to me to get out there, go where I want and do what I want. It feels like I can decide everything.

Challenges – climbing something that hasn’t been climbed before. Finding out how far I can push myself but only sometimes, when I’m in the mood for that. Belonging – I am part of nature and I am most like myself when I am outdoors, I don’t need to think so much about what others are thinking.

Favourite garment: Woollen sweaters. The one my mother knitted is still the best. A really thick woollen sweater is a fantastic garment. Well ventilated, airy but still really warm and versatile in all kinds of weather.

With a passion for sustainability Fjällräven’s goal is to be the world’s most ­sustainable brand in the outdoor i­ ndustry. For Head of ­Sustainability ­Christiane Dolva ­Törnberg, this means always putting the ­environment first – and being a bit annoying from time to time as well. text: karin wallén

Lives: Vaxholm, Stockholm

Grew up in: Lillehammer, Norway

Family: Husband and two children

Favourite adventure close to home: Going to the closest forest and barbecuing hotdogs.

Dream adventure: Going for a long mountain trek – being out for a ­couple of weeks so I can really let go of everything else. Then things must surely start happening in a person.

O

utdoor life is in her genes. Raised in N ­ orwegian Lillehammer, Christiane Dolva Törnberg was taught how to spend time outdoors early. She says herself that she is a good fit for the clichéd picture of a Norwegian who loves outdoor life. But it has never been about performance. Spending time outdoors should be simple.

“We packed our lunch and out we went, sat under a tree and had a good time. That is what we did when I was little, and I still do it now with my children,” says Christiane.

She lives in Vaxholm, outside Stockholm, and is close to Bogesundslandet’s forest and hiking trails. Summers are spent boating in the Stockholm archipelago, and every Easter she travels to Norway with her family to spend some time in their mountain cabin. This is a special tradition that she will never willingly give up.

Even if nature has always been close to her heart, it wasn’t until she had completed a degree in political science in Norway that environmental issues caught her interest. It was when discussions and debates started focusing on sustainability 15

And a lot has already happened. Fjäll- ingredients have to be right for the final that she got really interested. This led to her applying to a master’s programme räven’s work with ethically produced down result to be a success.

with all my environmental talk, but that’s me doing my job,” she says with a laugh.

Her task is as simple as it is difficult – to always have sustainability and the environment as her priorities, and to have the whole company moving in the same direction.

“We want to be the world’s most sustainable brand in the outdoor industry.

It is a really high goal, but it’s not just an aim in itself to be the best. It’s not about breaking records, or squeezing out other companies. We think that investing seriously in sustainability is the only smart way to run a company.”

16

tainability work is that for a couple of years now, all products have been impregnated entirely without the use of fluorocarbons – chemicals that have been used for decades to repel water, dirt and oil from clothing.

Research has shown that fluorocarbons have negative consequences for nature, animals and people, and they are incredibly slow to break down in the environment.

“It was a given for us to phase fluorocarbons out. But it has taken time to find solutions and maintain our demands on functionality,” says Christiane.

She compares it to a recipe where all the

and its production uses a lot of energy. So there we use as much recycled polyester as possible. From 2017, all our new G-1000 products will be made from G-1000 Eco. It’s exactly the same as the original fabric, but it’s made with organic cotton and recycled polyester.”

Environmental gains in production processes are important, but sustainability is fundamentally about longevity – that products will last for a long time.

“Products should have long lives, and you should be able to fix them with reserve parts if they break. Today, a lot of companies think

linearly – they produce then sell – and then what? We need to think more in cycles,” says Christiane.

What she calls ‘care and repair’ is a new project, in part it informs consumers how to best take care of their products to give them a long life, and in part it reaches out to consumers to inform them that reserve parts are available and repairs are possible.

Fjällräven also works together with government-funded Swerea, that researches industrial renewal and sustainable growth.

This is where the foundations are laid for future innovations that can make it possible for us to recycle more materials and keep their functionality intact. Polyester can already be recycled, but it has been harder to find a solution for cotton fibres.

“We deliver materials to their tests, and we also test the materials they have succeeded

in recycling in our laboratories to see if they meet our demands on functionality. We are also part of a group that evaluates recycling processes,” says Christiane.

Research and the constant stream of new knowledge makes her more and more convinced that these are issues that are vital to the future. But she also sees another aspect of sustainability work that is very important, and it is to do with – inspiration.

Christiane talks about how Fjällräven has been working for a long time on inspiring people and awakening their interest in spending time outdoors. By doing this, the company hopes that more people will understand the value of preserving all the beautiful things we have around us. Christiane says that it is all about wanting to do this and being thoughtful rather than having a feeling of duty and a clean conscience.

“As a consumer, however, you shouldn’t need to take full responsibility for reading up on things to ensure you make good environmental choices. Fjällräven is a safe choice. Of course demand is part of it, but it shouldn’t be the only thing that decides how we think in our business plan when it comes to sustainability. We want to be forerunners and prepared for the future,” says Christiane.

“It is a path that has no markers, we have to decide which direction to take. When we are faced with challenges and questions about which is the best way forward, we have to think the whole time – what would be the most sustainable outdoor brand in the world do?”

Technical functionality in demanding terrain

he moment you take your first step into the unknown should be one to remember. When you go a little further, reach a little higher. When you outbrave the surprises the weather sends you. Because that feeling is so good.

The Keb series is a collection of our most technical garments. Clothing that fits well when you are in difficult terrain, where the trail goes both up and down and demands both long strides and tentative precision.

Clothing that protects against tough weather and close contact with harsh terrain.

With the Keb series you can calmly aim for the top. Whether it is Sweden’s highest ­mountain Kebnekaise, or another high point of your outdoor life.

here are a number of ways you can stay dry and warm in bad weather. In many shell garments, fluorocarbons are used to repel water.

At Fjällräven, we have chosen to take another path.

We simply refuse to use environmentally damaging treatments, in the same way as we always try to minimise environmental impact by using better materials and production methods.

We want to make garments that also take responsibility for outdoor life in the future, without compromising nature.

Shell jackets and trousers in the Keb Eco-Shell series are designed for challenging outdoor life, all year round. They are lightweight, comfortable garments that are durable enough to withstand tough mountain weather and challenging terrain.

They have all the features you need, but nothing extra to weigh them down unnecessarily.

All cuts are optimised for the best possible fit – they are snug fitting but still have room for insulating layers underneath. Perfect for longer trips in changeable and wet conditions.

Keb Eco-Shell and this season’s newcomer Övik Eco-Shell are our answers to the question of what waterproof and breathable shell garments that are also more environmentally sustainable look like. Read more about Övik Eco-Shell on page 86.

Eco-Shell is made entirely from polyester – straight through for all three layers that together build up the material’s functionality – to simplify future recycling. The outer face fabric is made from recycled polyester and is impregnated without the use of environmentally damaging fluorocarbons.

In addition, Eco-Shell is climate compensated.

With this great environmental feel to it, it is maybe quite simple to appreciate all of Eco-Shell garments’ functional details – snug-fitting hood, well-worked-through fit and soft, rustle-free material that follows movements naturally. Everything is there for a reason: to ease your way forward and give you reliable protection from all kinds of weather.

How Eco-Shell works A. The outer fabric made from recycled polyester is treated with a fluorocarbon-free impregnation that repels rain, water, sleet and snow from the face fabric.

Strong legs Durable Condura fabric on the knees and inside of legs for extra protection against wear from the terrain, crampons and ski edges.

Ventilation zippers Full-length water-resistant zippers at the sides release excess heat and simplify taking off and putting on.

B. The hydrophilic membrane that is the middle layer effectively stops any moisture from getting in from the outside, at the same time as it can transport moisture from the body out to the outer layer of the fabric where it evaporates.

The membrane is also 100% windproof from the outside C. On 3-layer Eco-Shell, a thin polyester tricot lining on the inside of the membrane protects it and makes it soft and comfortable against the skin.

This inner layer also helps initiate the transport of body moisture through the membrane.

D. The windproof outer fabric, together with the membrane, stops cold winds from getting through the garment and cooling you down.

Snow gaiters Snow gaiters and boothooks keep leg endings in place when in deep snow.

Impregnation is important for the overall ­f unctionality of your Eco-Shell garment. With a drier outer fabric, the hydrophilic membrane works optimally and the moisture that is transported away can evaporate effectively.

When water no longer beads on the outer fabric it is time to renew the garment’s impregnation.

We recommend you use a fluorocarbon-free spray impregnation, such as PFC-free Waterproofing Impregnation.

You can find it in the same store where you bought your Fjällräven Eco-Shell product.

Critical choice – no fluorocarbons Fjällräven has chosen to only use fluorocarbon-free impregnation in all products.

And there is a good reason for this.

These powerful chemicals have been used for a long time to give rain gear and other textiles a water- and dirt-repelling surface. But they have other properties that are damaging for people, animals and the environment.

Fluorocarbons don’t break down in nature; instead they are spread by and stored in living organisms. They can affect reproduction and hormone production in mammals and are suspected to be carcinogenic. They can travel long distances in air and water, and have been found in remote wilderness areas.

The choice is simple: no fluorocarbons.

Footnote: Fluorocarbons is a term sometimes used to describe PFCs; perfluororinated compounds.

The Singi region in Lapland is where several massive valleys meet and offer adventurers the perfect chance to leave the trail and trek freely through a magnificent landscape. Singi has now given its name to our collection for traditional trekking.

Singi

I

Durable and functional for long trips in the mountains

n the Singi series, you will find hardwearing, functional trekking clothing for long mountain trips in trailless terrain. Trips when you are out in the wilderness for a week, or maybe two, and have limited possibilities of finding shelter in cabins or stocking up on provisions. Where you have to put trust in your own abilities and the equipment you are carrying with you.

Singi clothing is timeless and robust, with spacious pockets and practical details. Made from materials that protect against all kinds of mountain weather, all year round. For trousers and jackets we use our durable and well-ventilated functional fabric G-1000. This means you can work hard in them and in the winter they provide excellent protection while still allowing some airflow.

Drawcord adjustments at the waist and hem and Velcro adjustments at the sleeve cuffs.

Large top-loaded ­lower pockets with flaps.

There is also a zippered inside pocket.

We believe in a ­better down feeling Nothing warms as well as down in really cold temperatures. And at Fjällräven we think that nothing warms as well as ethically produced down. We are convinced that it feels better when the down in a jacket or sleeping bag is produced in an ethical manner.

This means that we put a lot of time and resources into ensuring responsible animal handling; that geese are raised in an environment where they can roam about freely as a flock and have access to water to swim in. Force-feeding and live plucking are strictly forbidden. Even transport is carefully arranged so that the birds experience as little stress as possible. Another aspect is that the geese are not just raised to produce down; our down is actually a bi-product of meat production.

The wellbeing of the birds is the most important component of Fjällräven’s Down Promise – another component is that only our own high-quality down is used in our products.

Thanks to a carefully controlled process where our down is handled in especially designed sealed sacks and tested in repeated tests, all of our down is 100% traceable, all the way back to the farms that raised the geese.

Generous cut with plenty of room for insulating garments underneath, and a bellows pleat at the back for extra freedom of movement.

Strong two-way zipper with wide protective flap that stops cold winds and provides extra safety should the zipper break, against all odds.

Abisko has Sweden’s lowest precipitation, which makes it perfect for seeing the Aurora Borealis. At the same time, meteorological conditions mean that the surrounding mountains get a lot of snow. Win-win for aurora tourists and skiers alike.

Life style: Mountain hosts. Dick and Mina Johansson at Abisko Mountain Lodge show the way out into the mountains.

Welcome to the edge of the world

Abisko has an important place in Fjällräven’s heart – one of our collections has even been given its name. It’s our hub for product testing, films and our big trekking event Fjällräven Classic. Many adventures start and finish at Abisko Mountain Lodge where Dick and Mina Johansson have created a meeting place for mountain enthusiasts of every kind. text : henrika lavonius wike photo : håkan wike

A

bisko isn’t like any other place. It has a population of 200, a train station, a grocery store and a petrol station with a café. A little further away you can find Mt. Nuolja with its single ski lift and a mountain station.

When we get off the train at Abisko East, we look straight out over Lake Torneträsk – twelve kilometres of openness before the mountains on the other side rise up to meet the sky. And if we look to the south we can see the majestic profile of the famous Lapponian Gate. If you drop your gaze, you will see a line of rooves sticking up between mountain birches 200 metres away. A little hotel that attracts visitors from all over the world.

How is this possible?

Nature is the answer. Nature comprising of mountains and wide expanses, the Aurora Borealis and snow, midnight sun, skiing, trekking, climbing, fishing and hunting. A playground for outdoor life, whatever the season.

Another answer is Dick and Mina Johansson. She is a profes-

For Fjällräven, Abisko and the lodge are a perfect point of departure for product tests, films and training.

sional hotelier, with a big heart and an eye for great service. He is a UIAGM-certified mountain guide with the Kiruna Mountains as his home turf. Both are experienced alpine enthusiasts and hotel managers. And together they have created a place that is totally unique.

A gateway to the mountains. A comfortable haven. A place where extreme skiers can enjoy an après ski drink with backcountry skiers in knickerbockers and long woolly socks. Where aurora tourists who have never been in the snow before get dressed in winter overalls and try ice climbing, ice fishing and snowshoeing.

Where anglers book rooms for half the summer to fly fish in the surrounding waters under the midnight sun.

“We had a vision when we started,” explains Dick during his cleaning rounds, because, like all managers of small hotels, he is a jack-of-all-trades.

“We wanted to create the atmosphere found in the best heliski lodges in Canada and in the mountain huts in the Alps, and build

33

an activity centre for everyone – where first timers can sit and chat with extreme skiers in the lounge. And we wanted to serve really good food made from local ingredients.”

The food, yes, the food alone is reason enough to visit Abisko. Guests come all the way from Kiruna, one hour away, just to eat in the little restaurant.

It was of course a series of life choices that led the Johanssons to Abisko. Plus a hotel that was for sale, at the right price and the right time.

“I was born and raised on the coast and wanted to do a season in the mountains,” says Mina. “But I was so taken by the mountains that I never left. That was 20 years ago.” Her last job as a hotel manager was for two smaller hotels in northern Norway.

Similarities can be seen in Dick’s story, he grew up in Filipstad, “in the middle of the forest”, as he puts it. The close proximity to nature made things simple: You opened the door and let out the dogs. Adult life led to a career as a police officer and when he was stationed in Kiruna he felt like he had come home – he felt a true connection with the Kiruna Mountains.

34

“Abisko is a village with real mountains. Hemavan only has low hills,” he says with a laugh.

Mina calls it a “green lifestyle”: “It takes three minutes to get to work,” she says. “And I like being a ‘known fish in a small pond’; we all know each other here and help each other out when needed.”

They talk about the local village association that organises ski trails, ice fishing competitions and trips out into the mountains where everyone from toddlers to pensioners barbeques together, to celebrate the sun's return in the beginning of February each year (Abisko is located north of the Arctic Circle). There is a community spirit that is perhaps extra strong because almost everyone has made a conscious decision to live up here.

And then there is the nature. Because it is so close: you put your boots on outside the door and there you are in the middle of the wilderness. 150 metres from the hotel entrance, trails that can hardly be seen lead the way through the low scrub. Alpine grouse fly up as you walk, and reindeer and moose are common sights.

You make your own ski tracks, boil some coffee over a campfire, go as far as you like. A few hours or a few days.

Dick and Mina are out every day.

Anything from short lunch outings, skiing, running or hunting with the family dogs, to whole day summit trips or heliskiing with guests. Every season has its activities. For Dick it is something he simply has to do.

“Maybe it’s a disorder – my brother says I know the whole alphabet except the letters I and Q ," he says with a big dose of self irony but with possible serious undertones. He continues: “Getting outside, sitting on a rock, looking out over the mountains and wondering if skiing that slope over there is possible, if that mountain is climbable, or if there are fish in the lake.

It gives me a sense of calm.”

He talks about how he takes his dogs out, walks along thinking about things and suddenly a bird flies past – then all sense of time disappears and he becomes totally focussed.

Working at the lodge demands time, but Mina says they have the world’s best staff, they don’t need to be everywhere anymore. They often have a little bit

of time over in the middle of the day: “I am usually here in the mornings, taking care of the guests, waving off the ones who are leaving. If it is helicopter weather, Dick is out with the guests all day, otherwise we go on lunchtime outings together. Then I try to get back for the guests when they come in from their adventures. And then there are days in the office sometimes too, when I’m not outside at all.”

Dick’s days are either being a handy­ man around the lodge and getting out at lunchtime, or whole-day guiding jobs out in the mountains, often as a coordinator of a team of guides taking different groups out. By the way he describes guiding, we understand that it involves exact planning, careful checking of weather forecasts, talking with mountain stations and making other preparations – all to be able to give guests the best possible skiing that the conditions allow at the time.

“My job is to find good skiing that is also safe. Today there is a lot of talk about avalanches in the media, but it is all about selecting the right terrain at the right time, and learning about snow.”

And there are, of course, days when

skiing is just not possible. When the light is totally flat and there aren’t any trees to tell you what is up and what is down.

“Skiing has to be flexible here. When the weather is bad and skiing is impossible, we organise other activities – fishing in the fiords, snowmobiling or tours to the mines. It is important that our guests are happy.”

Many of the lodge’s guests take care of themselves; they know what they want to do and are out for days on end. In the spring there are many heli-skiers staying who have their own guides with them.

But many use Dick as well, or one of the guides that the lodge works with.

In the winter, guests might go ski touring around majestic Mårma or Kebnekaise. Trekking the same area is fantastic in the summer, or rock climbing down towards the fiords in Norway.

“Everything is close” becomes a relative concept when regular civilisation is at least 100 km away.

And after the day’s experiences; a comfortable sofa, a sauna and a hot tub await. Good food, a laugh and story telling about the day's events.

Everything you need. In the middle of the wilderness.

Abisko’s best picks “The Abisko mountains offer excellent ski touring. You can ski to their base on the flat in seven kilometres – far away enough for you to find complete peace, but close enough for day trips.

Many great summit trips up to Tjåmuhas, Kieron and Ballinbogičohkka.

Also fantastic on foot in the summer.

“A good choice if you are trekking with dogs or running is Báddosdievva, an old Sami sacrificial place half-way to the Lapponian Gate. This is also good on freestyle cross-country skis in the winter. Fantastic scenery with treeless moraine ridges crossing a ravine filled with tall birches – a whole new world in contrast with the surrounding barren mountains. Amazing views over the area.

“Randonné-touring to Kårsavagge cabin is another favourite. Take the lift up to Mt. Nuolja, put on your skins and skin up to the top of Slåttatjåkka.

From there you have a great slope to ski down before traversing to the STF Kårsavagge cabin. There is also plenty of good skiing on the south-west side of the Kårsavagge valley.”

Carefully selected, uncompromising quality

omething happens to you when you spend a lot of time in the great outdoors. You start to appreciate well-thought-through details, and equipment that works as it should without making a big deal out of things. Gear that lasts and can be filled with memories. Gear that won’t let you down when you need it most.

The Numbers collection is created for all of us scrupulous types. It is Fjällräven’s most technical collection and the most uncompromising when it comes to sustainability and functionality. We have not held back in any way with regards to material selection or taking care of the small details.

The result is garments that can accompany you for a lifetime of adventures. Numbers is the total opposite from the disposable products mentality, because Numbers garments are designed so they can be easily mended rather than thrown away. There are always details that wear faster than the garment

as a whole, but with Numbers we have made sure that these parts are easy to replace. In production, this means a few extra seams, but we think this is worth it as you can replace, for example, a zipper without the entire garment needing to be taken apart.

Reinforcements where wear is highest also contribute to added durability and – in our opinion – style.

Everything is there for a reason; everything has been thoroughly tried and tested for long periods out in the field.

Since the collection was released four years ago, we have successively extended it, so it now includes down garments and clothing for warm climates. We have built up partnerships with fantastic suppliers around Europe. We have seen that producing gear of the highest quality with the lowest possible environmental impact can be done.

And these experiences are influencing everything else we do too.

All materials and details in Numbers are chosen to have as little impact on the environment as possible. For this reason, we use G-1000 Eco made from recycled polyester and organic cotton in most of the fabric garments. Almost all leather details are made from spill material – you can see that the leather varies somewhat in appearance and colour. Numbers products also have reinforcements where the wear is the greatest.

ife after Polar

Every year Fjällräven Polar opens the door to adventure when participants from all over the world drive their own dog sleds through the wilderness above the Arctic Circle.

For some of them, life is never the same again. text : karin wallén photo : håkan wike

hen Larry Daugherty stood behind his dogsled that late winter’s day in 2013, and drove it straight out into the Scandinavian wilderness with Fjällräven Polar, he was fulfilling a life-­ long dream. As a small boy, every year his grandmother showed him newspaper clippings from Iditarod – the prestigious and extremely challenging dogsledding competition that runs between Anchorage and Nome in Alaska. His interest in dogsledding was a passion that he only thought about from a distance, but for Larry Daugherty his dream to try it for himself was to become a reality. However, his road there was neither straight nor easy.

“I warned my wife already on our first date that at some point I wanted to live in

38

Alaska and compete in Iditrod. She probably didn’t believe a word of it,” he says with a laugh when I reach him on his home telephone in Alaska.

Because that is where he lives with his family today, and this last winter he got to fulfil his childhood dream: to drive a dogsled 1600 km across the wilderness, completely by himself and without assistance. If we had asked Larry a few years back if his dream of competing in Iditarod was still alive, it wasn’t a sure bet that he would have answered yes. Back then he lived in Florida with his wife and three children and worked as a doctor specialising in cancer treatment. It was a good life. But he didn’t feel complete.

The missing puzzle bit fell into place thanks to a tiny ad he saw in an in-flight magazine when he was on his way home

from a business trip to Europe. It was about Fjällräven Polar.

“The only thing I could talk about when I came home was that ad. The same evening I rigged up a camera and recorded my application. It was pretty basic, just me and my dream, nothing more.”

The pull of the wilderness Larry Daugherty was the selection panel’s choice from the USA that year. Adventure waited in the wings. He remembers the feeling he had when he harnessed the dogs for the first time and how they just took off with him behind them.

“I just had to let my instincts take over and go with it. I knew where the brake was and that was about it,” he says with a laugh.

Fjällräven Polar taught him a lot. He

thinks back to the valuable lessons they had with survival expert Johan Skullman, and the companionship in the group.

“The most fantastic thing for me was being above the Arctic Circle and driving the sled. And being able to experience that together with easy, enjoyable people from all over the world.”

When he got home from Fjällräven Polar, he was buzzing on the adventure. But soon after, a strong longing took over.

“I was happy in many ways, but there was something missing in Florida. I wanted to have true wilderness around me, and I wanted my children to experience it too.”

And then it finally happened – one day he was offered a job in Alaska. It was no easy decision to move there with the whole family from the warmth of the south to the cold of the north, but today they are all happy with their new lives in Eagle River, outside Anchorage. Thanks to contacts, Larry was given the chance to borrow some dogs from a qualified dog breeder. Last winter was an intensive period of training and qualifying competitions, which lead him all the way to his goal: Iditarod.

“Now I have done it, I have to put it behind me. I have done what I have dreamed about all my life. But I do look forward to borrowing dogs and going on a trip, just occasionally. I can’t leave it alone completely,” says Larry.

Part of the team For Norwegian Eirik Nordbye, winter was always a problem. He hated getting cold.

And this was part of the reason why he applied to Fjällräven Polar. If he could just learn more about how to plan for winter adventures, dress for the conditions and

prepare himself so outdoor activities would be as pleasant and easy as possible, then he might have more fun and go on more adventures. And the most important of all: He would be able to teach his children to enjoy being outdoors in the winter. When he was given a place on Fjällräven Polar 2012, he lacked all confidence and knowledge.

“Plus I had very little experience of dogs.

So I understood that I would need to break down quite a few barriers,” he says as he thinks back to that time.

With 150kg on the sled, the dogs were working hard. But they kept looking back at Eirik, as if they wondered who it was back there. After a day and a half, he understood that they thought he could help them out a little more. The dogs taught him when he had to push as well, and their lessons gave immediate results.

“We went from being a team consisting of six dogs to a team of seven individuals.

We started to understand each other, and they stopped looking back at me. It was an amazing feeling to be there out in the wilderness and feel like I was part of a team and not just a dead weight. I cracked the code,” says Eirik.

Another fantastic experience was the night they slept under the stars, without a tent, in minus fifteen degrees. If anyone had asked him to do this earlier, he would have told them they were mad, but his dug out bed in the snow became a safe and secure resting place – despite there being some problems falling asleep.

“I lay there under the clear starry night watching an amazing show of the northern lights. I was safe and warm, but it took a long time to fall asleep. It was just magic, feeling so small under the huge night sky.”

Things that earlier felt like problems suddenly felt like small details in the big picture, and this is a feeling that Eirik Nordbye has taken home with him from Fjällräven Polar.

Passing it on In recent years, Eirik has done things he never thought he would do. He has been skiing several times – both by himself and with friends. His new knowledge and enthusiasm has spread itself in his surroundings. And his children have followed their pappa’s lead.

“I have built up their relationship with nature bit by bit, with know-how and fun. In summer we go out with our tent travelling around Norway and Sweden. We go on hikes and have even done the High Coast Hike.

We have been snowshoeing and often sleep outside in the winter,” says Eirik, who then describes one of the children’s birthday celebrations that started with friends and family and a cake.

“Then we packed our backpacks and went out into the forest. We walked through the dark with headlamps on for an hour to a place I knew. We made a fire and cooked our dinner, and then we slept there for the night.

“I had six kids around the campfire, playing, not an electronic device in sight, and they loved it. So I now know that I have succeeded in seeing that they develop a good relationship with nature.”

The puppy promise Dutchman Roelof Doevendans had already applied to Fjällräven Polar a couple of times, but had never been given a spot. He tweaked his application again, quizzed previous participants for tips on how to get

Heavy packs are n ­ othing we take lightly

Ideas that have carried weight since 1960

W

alking fast does not guarantee that you will get far. This is why we move at our own pace here at Fjällräven when we are developing new equipment that will accompany you into the wilderness.

We stubbornly research the principles of carrying, we work on new developments and we are constantly making further improvements. We create carrying systems that distribute weight well, that ventilate better, that are easy to adapt to different users. We re-examine packing compartments to make it even easier to pack and organise your gear.

And we don’t only make large trekking backpacks with prize-winning ergonomics.

The road to big adventures goes via many fun daytrips, and just as carefully as we find the perfect balance between weight and functionality in our big packs, we put our heart and soul into convenient daypacks for easier hiking, travelling and everyday commuting.

And we always make our products with as little environmental impact as possible.

For one of this year's newcomers, we took the challenge to create the world's most sustainable backpack. Did we succeed? Read more about Re-Kånken on page 54.

Re-Kånken is made from 95% recycled polyester.

An iconic product is given new life in recycled format text : karin wallén

t has been loved for generations, used for decades and has won the hearts of people all over the world without changing its timeless design. And now a new version of Kånken is being released with only one thing that is different: the fabrics used in Re-Kånken are 95% made from recycled materials, and are recyclable themselves.

Kånken in its original form is already a product that has relatively little negative impact on the environment. Thanks to its simple, straightforward design, it produces a lot less spill in its production than more complicated backpacks. It is hardwearing, and it has a look that has proved to be popular in the long term.

So when the idea came up to try to make the most sustainable backpack ever, we had to find a new approach.

“We went back to the beginning with

56

everything except the classic design. The challenge was in achieving the lowest possible environmental impact while still meeting demands for a durable and functional product,” says Svante Björkroth, product developer at Fjällräven and the man behind the project.

While the original Kånken was made from three different materials – one for the backpack itself, one for the inner pocket and one for the straps – Re-Kånken is made entirely from one kind of material that has been woven into fabrics of varying thicknesses.

The material we are talking about is recycled polyester. A total of eleven PET bottles are used to make one Re-Kånken and the project developers have been careful to check that the bottles really have been used and left at a recycling centre before being used again. Because this is the whole idea behind recycling.

Starting over with material selection is a job that takes time.

“The first step was sourcing recycled fabric that could live up to the durability demands we have. It is not enough to just do durability tests in a laboratory.

The backpack has to be constructed and tested in real life as well. The straps need to be pulled and yanked around, it has to be rubbed against the back and used in everyday life.

When you take polyester from PET bottles it can be quite like plastic, and not as matt and rigid as the original Kånken fabric. But by brushing the recycled fabric so the outer threads were roughed up a bit, the fabric got a more pleasing feel that Svante and his colleagues wanted. It is really quite like the original, except for a few details that are different.

“Re-Kånken needed to have its own

11 PET bottles are needed to make one Re-Kånken.

identity. The round badge is still there, but Re-Kånken’s badge is embroidered instead of sewn on,” says Svante Björkroth.

In addition to the recycled element there is a large environmental gain in how the fabric is dyed. Conventionally, fabrics are dyed at the end of their production process, after the yarn is spun and the fabric is woven. The bolts of fabric are then immersed in vats of chemicals, rinsed in water and dried in large ovens.

The process requires huge quantities of chemicals, water and energy.

When Svante and his colleagues were looking for more sustainable production methods, they fell for a technique called SpinDye®. In this process, the dye is added when the recycled polyester fibres are spun into yarn. This means that large quantities of chemicals, water and energy are saved.

There are also other, non-environmental benefits with this process. When you conventionally dye fabric, it is the surface of the fabric that absorbs the most colour, but with SpinDye®, the dye goes all the way into the core of the yarn. In this way, the colour wears better and doesn’t fade in the sun so readily.

SpinDye®, however, is still more expensive than conventional dyeing. The reason for this is that there is still little demand for it. Suppliers need large orders for each colour before it is worth their

Svante Björkroth, product developer at Fjällräven

while, but with Re-Kånken, Fjällräven has dared to take the step.

For a product to be easily recyclable, it can’t contain too many types of material.

Today, it is only the buttons, zippers and plastic buckles on Re-Kånken that are

Available in 11 colours.

not made from recyclable polyester. And these details are all easily removed. The backpack would be recyclable already today if only the infrastructure for textile recycling was in place.

“The backpack is suitable for recycling, but it is still a durable product that will last for a long, long time,” Svante Björkroth points out.

For him and his colleagues, the time they have spent on Re-Kånken has been more than worthwhile.

“There isn’t a manual for how to make a product as sustainable as possible. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. We had to create a process and find our own way to reach our goal. If other companies wanted to do the same, we could create a demand for spin-dyed yarn made from recycled plastic. The costs would decrease and more products could be made using this technology.”

Spin-dyeing uses... ... 75% less water ... 67% less chemicals ...39% less energy than conventional dyeing methods.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO SLEEP

M

astering the art of sleeping well in the outdoors starts with getting a good sleeping bag. One that suits your activities and the climate you are in. One that keeps you warm and comfortable when the temperature drops, at the same time as it saves weight and space in your backpack.

Of course, there isn't one single sleeping bag that suits everyone, so there is a bit to think about before you choose the right model for you. Such as finding out what temperature rating is good for the conditions you will use it in. And deciding if you need a down sleeping

bag, which provides the most warmth for its weight and volume, or a synthetic one that is more durable and handles moisture better.

Fjällräven’s models cover a wide range of climates and areas of use: from lightweight synthetic bags good for cabin-to-cabin trips or couch surfing, to extremely well-insulated down sleeping bags for mid-winter adventures in the extreme cold.

Sleep well out there.

Saving the Arctic Fox

The life of the arctic fox has always followed the lemmings’ cycles of booms and busts. After a bad period, a good one comes along. But there is a threat that overshadows everything. text: karin wallén

F

or an arctic fox, minus 30 degrees is not a problem. In fact, an arctic fox can handle temperatures down to minus 70 degrees by rolling itself into a ball, putting its chin on its paws and sweeping its tail around to cover its nose.

Like an impenetrable fur-ball in the snow, it can keep itself warm through the most brutal of cold snaps. No, it is not the cold that is the arctic fox’s problem. It is climate change and warmer temperatures that will be its demise.

There is, however, one man who does not plan to give up the fight easily. Anders ­Angerbjörn, researcher and professor at Stockholm ­University, has been studying the Swedish arctic fox population for thirty years, and he has seen how supplementary feeding and other measures have helped the population recover from the brink of extinction.

“Around the change of the millennium it was looking really bad. There were a total of 50 arctic foxes in Sweden, Norway and Finland. If we hadn’t stepped in and helped, the population wouldn’t have recovered,” he says and points towards a graph with a curve

showing how the population has gone up and down over the years.

Today, there are about 200 arctic foxes in Sweden, but the numbers can vary greatly from year to year. The large dips and peaks in the population depend primarily on access to food, and when it comes to the Swedish arctic fox, there is a particular little rodent that is at the top of the menu – the lemming.

Lemming years are important And that there are years when the mountains are alive with lemmings, and that there are years when they are hardly seen, is a fact known to most people. The so-called lemming years come in cycles of about four years, and the arctic fox’s numbers follow the same crooked curve.

“After a good lemming year when the arctic foxes have been able to feast and gain strength, it totally crashes; you get a year without lemmings, and the cubs that are born will die.

And we can only count on about half of the adult foxes surviving a bad lemming year,” says Angerbjörn.

After a crash, the number of lemmings

67

But charming.

”

slowly increases again. The adult foxes who survived are more experienced and know how to avoid other dangers. Their cubs get a good summer with lots of food, which leads to a good winter. The young cubs are so strong that they start mating already the following year and have new cubs. And then it crashes again.

A year without lemmings doesn’t just mean a shortage of food for the arctic foxes.

It also means that they become prey for animals higher up in the food chain. King eagles and red foxes, who also prey on lemmings, start to hunt arctic foxes to survive.

“This is why it is so misleading to talk about how many cubs are born in a good year. There can be new litters in every den in a good summer, but we know that their chances of surviving the crash around the corner are slim.”

Successful project Last year, the Swedish Species Information Centre, who takes care of the red list of endangered animals, reclassed the arctic fox from ‘critically endangered’ to ‘endangered’. This shows that progress has been made by the Stockholm University project run in cooperation with county administration boards and their rangers.

Since 1995, Fjällräven has also contributed to this work by donating clothing, tents and backpacks for field studies, and in recent years by financing a full-time doctoral position at the university.

68

For Professor Angerbjörn, the autumns and winters are the off-season for field studies. It is too risky and difficult to be out in the mountains, and there are too few hours of daylight at that time of year. Instead, he spends November to January writing, analysing and teaching. Scientific articles and reports have to reach their audience.

Starting in March, he and the rangers start making inventories of the population again. They follow activity in the dens through cameras, and start to get a picture of what kind of reproduction there might be in the summer.

With the help of cameras, Angerbjörn has also started to look at what climate change in combination with the arctic fox’s colour changes have to do with survival.

“I want to see how they are affected by having a white or green background. Now, they change colour too early, they are white before the snow comes. So we are trying to find out if the ones who change their coats early have a poorer chance of survival than those who change later.”

Red foxes are taking over Climate change is the arctic fox’s greatest threat, and this depends partly on lemmings and other rodents having a lower survival rate when there is an absence of an insulating layer of snow to protect them from the cold in the winter. Mild and varied winter weather with rain that freezes also leaves a layer of ice over the terrain so the rodents

can’t get to their food. This is a catastrophe for lemmings, and the animals who in turn live on them. Another consequence of climate change is that red foxes are spreading further northwards than ever before, and are now taking over the arctic fox's territory.

The situation can be first seen as hopeless for the arctic fox, but Angerbjörn is fascinated about how adaptable the species is.

He has a lot of contact with researchers in other parts of the world and has visited a large number of regions where the arctic fox lives; Russia, Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Spitsbergen and the Kola Peninsular.

“The arctic foxes that live along the coast eat birds, bird eggs and fish. There is a unique range within the species, they adapt to the environment they find themselves in.”

But this does not mean that an arctic fox that has lived in the mountains can automatically survive on the coast. It takes time to develop survival skills for specific environments.

Arctic foxes that are raised on fur farms lack knowledge on how to survive, and do not survive if released. In Norway, there are breeding programmes where captured wild arctic foxes are used for breeding and then released into the wild again. They are often released close to the Swedish border, where they have the greatest chance of survival, because Norway does not have any support measures in place for them like Sweden does. There are plans for joint projects with

Norway underway, however, including a governmental agreement that will see that both countries help out with support programmes.

Studying behaviour At the moment, research is being done into the possibility of taking foxes from the Norwegian breeding programmes and releasing them in the Swedish province of Norrbotten.

“If this happens, they will probably be equipped with radio transmitters, which will give us the chance to evaluate the programme. We can’t do that in Norway as they don’t use radio transmitters there,” says Angerbjörn.

By using transmitters and cameras, he can also study their behaviour, and then analyse how their personalities affect survival.

The curious and bolder foxes might become victim to eagles more often, but are maybe better at finding food. The shy and timid ones might escape the eagles but suffer from a lack of food.

Angerbjörn describes arctic foxes as curious, sweet and intelligent. He has personally got to know a large number of individuals, and after many long days and nights in their environment, they also know who he is.

“They are called ‘njalla’ in the northern Sami language, and ‘svala’ in southern Sami. These names mean ‘careless’ and ‘reckless’. Foolhardy maybe. But charming,” he says, and thinks back to light summer nights with his binoculars trained on their dens.

Or the early springs spent in the snowy mountains when the foxes lie about squinting into the sun. If you don’t know what kind of year they are having it can look like they are lying there relaxing and having a good time.

“A bad year is really difficult. The red foxes have left the area, but the arctic foxes are still there. They have nothing to eat, nothing at all. They try to mate but they don’t have enough energy to carry any cubs. A good year is entirely different. 2017 or 2018 is the next good year. We might get up to 120 litters in Sweden and Norway.

Then the mountains will be filled with life.”

Beloved outdoor classics since 1968

hen Greenland Jacket was first released in the 1960s, it was a revolution: lightweight, weather resistant, fast drying and packed with plenty of practical features. We see these characteristics as givens in outdoor clothing today, but this wasn’t the case 50 years ago.

It all began in 1966 with a Greenland expedition that Fjällräven equipped with tents and backpacks. The expedition was a success; the Scandinavian alpinists did a number of first ascents in the demanding landscape. Once home again, the participants were filled with praise for the Fjällräven equipment but were less pleased with the outdoor clothing of the time.

The climbers' reflections inspired Fjällräven’s Åke Nordin, who quickly started experimenting with designs and made a

76

climbing jacket on his mother’s Singer sewing machine. He found the fabric he used in his workshop – a piece of left-over tent material that he coated with a mixture of beeswax and paraffin to make it more waterproof.

Fjällräven’s first jacket was launched in 1968 and named after the expedition. It soon became popular among climbers who appreciated its hood, pockets and durable, weather-resistant material. The fabric was named G-1000 and has been a key part in many functional and hardwearing garments from Fjällräven since then.

Today, Greenland Jacket is a classic that’s been loved by generations. And now it’s been joined by an entire series of trousers, shirts, backpacks and bags – all in G-1000 that still holds the position as one of the world’s best outdoor fabrics.

A piece of outdoor history. In the 1960s, Sweden passed a law giving all workers four weeks of holiday annually and this was promoted with the campaign “Drive to the great outdoors”, led by interest groups such as the Swedish Outdoor Association and the Swedish Association of Motor Vehicle Owners. It inspired more Swedes to spend time in nature – many of them wearing a soon-to-be classic Greenland Jacket.

G-1000®

50 years of testing and still one of the world’s best outdoor materials

M

any Fjällräven garments are made from our own outdoor fabric G-1000.

And this is no coincidence.

The tightly woven material made from polyester and cotton is extremely durable, at the same time as it offers protection from the weather and wind. But G-1000 also releases a lot of the moisture that builds up when you are active. Put simply, you don’t get as sweaty.

You can even wear G-1000 in light rain; the waxed fabric resists water and if it does get wet, it dries fast.

If you want to enhance its water resistant properties, wax the garment with Greenland Wax, our own impregnation that is kind to both people and the environment.

80

If you’d rather have a more airy garment with maximum ventilation, just wash the wax out.

G-1000 comes in four versions, all with the advantages of the original fabric but each with its own specific properties. They are also all available in an Eco version made from recycled polyester and organic cotton.

G-1000 Original / G-1000 Eco – the durable original G-1000 Silent / G-1000 Silent Eco – quiet and soft G-1000 Lite / G-1000 Lite Eco – light and airy G-1000 HeavyDuty / G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco – extra durable

81

How to wax your G-1000 garment Rub on and melt in – or wash out. It isn’t any harder than that to adapt the wind and water resistant properties of your G-1000 garment with Greenland Wax. Remember that several thin layers of wax that you melt in, one at a time, is better than one thick layer.

It is often a good idea to “spot reinforce” impregnation on sections that are more exposed to wind, rain and wear. Here are a couple examples, and more can be found along with waxing instructions at fjallraven.com/g-1000:

1) W ax the knees and seat of trousers with a double layer of wax so you have good protection when you kneel or sit down when taking a break.

2) Before a backcountry skiing trip, wax your jacket on the front, shoulders and hood but leave the back un-waxed so that heat and moisture that builds up under your backpack can ventilate out.

When trekking or travelling in warm climates you will most likely want to have a cooler and more airy garment. Wash in 40°C, after a couple washes all the wax will have been removed from the fabric.

In Övik, we like to go out after work

W

here the city meets the wilderness – this is where we recharge our batteries. With comfortable, functional everyday clothing, outdoor life is always close by. That’s how it is in Fjällräven’s hometown Örnsköldsvik – or Övik as it’s often called – and this is how we like it wherever we find ourselves.

So we created the Övik collection, with well-made shirts, hardwearing trousers, comfortable hoodies and sweaters that suit lives spent close to nature. Our functional G-1000 fabric is used as the base of many of the jackets and trousers, while t-shirts, mid layers and hats are made from natural materials such as wool and cotton.

Now we are also releasing Övik Eco-Shell with 3-layer shell jackets that are waterproof, breathable and sustainable. Perfect for those of you who want to make the most of everyday life, in all kinds of weather.

Fjällräven’s green sheep

At the foot of the mountains in Jämtland, northern Sweden, forty sheep live out in the snow.

It is a few degrees below zero and their fleeces are thick and warm. This is the wool that will be shorn in the spring, carded and spun into yarn and then knitted into woollen hats and sweaters.

Fjällräven is thinking along new paths, and going back to its origins. text & photo : håkan wike

T

he sheep below Brattlandsgården Farm are a bit sceptical as we approach them. But Natasha Skott, who runs the farm together with her husband Mats, is part of the flock and is soon surrounded by a group of curious woolly friends. She runs her fingers through their thick fleeces and gives a friendly ewe a rub. Her ten-year-old daughter Ayelén is also permitted to pat some curious lambs.

“We have Jämtland sheep here, they are the sheep breed in Sweden with the finest-­ fibred wool and they are of course well adapted to living outside in the winter,” says Natasha. “I love sheep, they are such lovely, friendly animals who fit in so well with us here at the farm.”

These sheep have been bred to give the best possible wool and they are an important part of the farm’s livestock. Together, Brattlandsgården Farm and Fjällräven are researching the possibility of bringing sustainable wool production and the production of woollen garments back to Sweden again. In the past, sheep provided farms with wool that was spun into yarn and knitted into clothing right there on the farm, or in the closest village. Is it possible to apply the principles of a local chain of production, but on a larger scale, today? Can we make good products from Swedish wool? Is it financially

viable for all the parties involved? Is it better for the environment? There are still a lot of questions, but some of the original ones have already been answered.

Wool – not meat The idea of working together came from a conversation about why so much Swedish wool is thrown away each year. Sheep farmers in Sweden tend to focus primarily on meat production. Fjällräven’s CEO ­Martin Axelhed and Natasha Skott want to take a different perspective and see if they could have wool as the primary product. A product that doesn’t end in slaughter but can continue to be produced, completely naturally, because each sheep can produce wool for several years.

“In recent years we have managed to control and guarantee the whole chain of ethically produced down,” says Martin 90

Axelhed. “We want to find a similar solution for wool. We know that wool can be produced sustainably, so we want to find out if we can take it to the next step.”

The cooperation project in Jämtland wants to take this ball and run with it – they want to let the sheep also contribute to a better environment globally. Fjällräven always takes responsibility for improving conditions for animals, nature and people by looking even further down the material chain, and grazing animals can actively contribute towards a better environment.

“The sheep here graze the land around the farm, and also other grazing areas close by," explains Natasha Skott. “Grazing is very positive for the environment, it gives the grass a stronger root system and also better carbon dioxide consumption. Grazing land needs to rest in periods to recover, but then it can be grazed again.”

Local supply chain Because the sheep graze freely, grain doesn’t have to be grown to feed them, which almost totally removes the need for machines and fossil fuels.

“We work according to the principles of holistic management, where all decisions are made according to the operating areas on the farm working together,” explains Natasha.

“Our planning in the bigger perspective is to contribute towards a better environment and a better climate. We have plenty of land and water, but our grazing areas and open meadows are resources that are quickly overgrown if we don’t use them. To continue on down the chain, after the sheep are shorn we will hopefully find people locally who can help us process the wool. Washing, spinning and treating the wool should be done within a reasonable distance to those who later knit the products. Our hope is to

once again bring Swedish wool to the fore by assisting companies with investments and guaranteeing a certain amount of production. This help will hopefully get the branch going again and increase demand.”

“We want to bring back simple, more natural production methods that reduce transport and negative environmental impact,” explains Christiane Dolva Törnberg, Head of Sustainability at Fjällräven. We really want to do everything we can to keep Earth as our basecamp, as a place where we still have important natural resources and undisturbed nature.”

Gathering knowledge A holistic perspective and origins are important for all parties in the process. Fjällräven’s history goes back to the 1960s and founder Åke Nordin’s garage in Örnsköldsvik. Åke’s stubborn entrepreneurship and knowledge

of handicrafts created revolutionary products more than half a century ago. This legacy has also influenced the decision to look more closely at producing wool in Sweden again.

To know if something is possible, you have to test it in real conditions. This was also Åke’s way of making even better outdoor products.

“We want to start here at home, on a small scale, because here is closest to our production department and our origins,” explains Christiane Dolva. ”We don’t really know if all the pieces of the puzzle will come together yet, but we are 100% sure that we can use our knowledge and everything we learn from Brattlandsgården Farm on other products in the future, regardless of what we decide to do.”

Brattlandsgården Farm has been in existence since 1897 and is on its way back to becoming a mountain farm with its own

animals again. Its land and fields are being grazed once more. They have hens, ducks and pigs for household requirements: a real blend that together contributes towards a diversity without any thought of doing anything on a large scale. Sustainable usage of what the farm can produce is the most important. In the Åre region, there are a number of similar farms and good possibilities that more of them can start producing wool if it proves to be viable on a larger scale.

Like the past in the present. But a bit better.

Morris thinks that mountains are cool

Little adventurers also have dreams and big adventures always start with small ones. Morris Jensen, who lives in BĂĽstad in southern Sweden, loves camping, hates ants and dreams of high mountains in Nepal. text : sara ekdahl photo : anders karolyi

My dream is to go to Nepal.

” W

e met nine-yearold Morris Jensen on a snowy January day outside his family’s hotel in Vallåsen, just over ten kilometres from Båstad. It is located in a beautiful, peaceful forest, not far from southern Sweden’s largest ski area. It has been cold and snowy for a while, so all the slopes are open and all the lifts are running. “Fun!” thinks Morris, who loves it when it snows. Snow means snowball fights, skiing, tobogganing and snowboarding.

“My favourite thing to do outside is snowboarding. I was going to snowboard today, but my bindings are broken so I went skiing instead," says Morris who is rosy-cheeked after his day outside.

Morris leads us through giant rhododendron bushes, where a set of summer outdoor furniture is waiting for the snow to melt and summer to come. We continue on until we reach a wind shelter where we make a fire, barbeque hotdogs and drink hot chocolate from our thermoses.

We start talking about food and Morris tells me about the best meal he has ever eaten: tomato soup that he made together with his classmates over a campfire. And the funny thing is that he doesn’t actually really like tomato soup.

We find ourselves agreeing that 96

spending time outside is pretty cool.

“In school we are outside every day and I usually go tobogganing. I love being outside. It’s fun!”

You can tell that he spends a lot of time out here. He is comfortable even in this grey, dull weather that many would find off-putting. But the wind coming off the sea is raw and biting and when the fire starts dying down we decide to go back and get out of the cold.

At the hotel, the fire is roaring and there is a special family feeling about it. Yes, family is the right word, as we soon find out. During our little chat we manage to meet not only Morris’ parents, but also his grandmother and grandfather, two of his aunts, and an uncle.

It is a big, colourful and caring family, who are passionate about food, art and nature. Morris’ grandparents are keen mountain trekkers and his father Lonnie, from ­California, has made his hobby into a job by organising mountain bike trips for tourists and companies.

It is easy to understand where Morris' uncomplicated and positive approach to outdoor life comes from. He has role models and family members all around him to go on adventures with.

“My dream is to go to Nepal,” says Morris. “There are so many mountains there. I want to go to Base Camp at Mount Everest. Then I want

to go as far up as I can. Mountains are cool.”

For Morris, spending time outdoors together with others is a natural part of life, be it by the sea, on a mountain bike in ­Hallandsåsen’s birch forests or picking mushrooms around the family cabin in ­Östergötland. In the summer there is swimming, skateboarding and sailing to keep him busy.

He knows exactly what the best thing about nature is. And the worst.

“Camping. I love it. It is so cosy and I don’t have to sleep by myself.

But once there were ants outside our tent and I hate ants.”

Morris Jensen Age: 9

Occupation: Third grader at Båstad Montessori Asken School Lives in: Båstad, Sweden

Likes: Snowboarding, camping, TV games and drums.

Nature for me is: It is life and nature gives me air, water and food. Nature is alive and I hate it when they cut down trees. I love being outdoors and the beautiful nature makes me want to ride my bike.

Favourite garment: The red Kids Övik Lite Jacket because it keeps me warm, but not too warm. I love it when I ski and play. If I ever forget it, I really miss it.

Good for kids, good for nature text : cajsa rännar photo : daniel ohlsson

An everyday focus on nature, the environment and good health.

For over 30 years, the Swedish Outdoor Association’s preschool concept I Ur och Skur, which can be roughly translated to In Rain or Shine, has given kids a chance to learn through experience and discovery using all their senses.

It creates healthier, stronger and more creative children, who learn how to take care of nature.

O

n a little hill, with the forest right behind it, sits a newly built preschool named I Ur och Skur Spetsbergen. But the yard outside the building is empty. To find the children, we open the gate that leads to the forest, take the trail through the trees and climb up a small rise. And there they are, muddy and wet, full of beans and adventure.

“Come over here!” yells Lee. “You can see a digger from here!”

“Come over here! You can jump down from here!”

This is their playground and they know it like the backs of their hands. There are no even surfaces here that have been flattened or levelled. They have to practice using their balance and motor skills and continuously solve problems. And face setbacks, I think to myself as I help warm a little hand that has been in a wet mitten after an accident involving a puddle.

I Ur och Skur preschools build on The Swedish Outdoor Association’s outdoor teaching methods, which are also used in other programmes such as popular forest friend Skogsmulle’s outdoor programme, and are based on children playing, learning and discovering using all their senses and their

entire bodies. The results through the years have been astonishingly positive.

“Children can concentrate better in a varied natural outdoor environment, they are healthier and develop both physical and psychological tools better,” says Anders Szczepanski, teacher and Assistant Professor of Outdoor Education at the National Centre for Outdoor Education at Linköping University.

The kids have now jumped down from the hill and been asked to find objects that have the same colour as the piece of cloth that preschool principal Sofia Bergner is holding up.

“We see a difference in the new children who start here. Their motor skills aren’t as developed and they are not used to walking and running outside on surfaces that aren’t lawns,” says Sofia Bergner. “But they develop so quickly and are soon as comfortable in the terrain as the other children. It is wonderful to see them gain in confidence.”

Fewer sick days and better sleep Children who go to I Ur och Skur preschools catch fewer infections than children who attend regular preschools. Viruses and bacteria are simply harder to catch outside.

This leads to noticeably fewer sick days, for

both children and personnel.

In addition, children who are out in nature for long periods every day sleep better at night, and can concentrate more easily when they are awake. They also get healthy doses of all-important vitamin D without getting burned as the trees and bushes they play amongst keep them out of direct sunlight.

“There are many countries outside Europe, such as China, Japan, India and Singapore, that are interested in the I Ur och Skur concept and Outdoor Education as a ‘new’ Swedish experience-based export product,” says Anders Szczepanski.

For the future Fjällräven has supported I Ur och Skur preschools for many years.

“For us, it is important that we help get children out into nature early because we know that this makes a difference for how they value nature as adults,” says Martin Axelhed, CEO of Fjällräven and initiator of the collaboration.

“If kids learn to love nature from an early age, they will want to take care of it as adults.”

When Fjällräven makes outdoor clothing for kids, we place the same high demands on durability, weather resistance and functionality as we do in our adult clothing. Kids clothes should also be easy to put on and take off, and waists should be adjustable so they can be adapted as needed.

Some of our most popular trousers are Keb, Vidda and Karl.

These have been made from our proven outdoor fabric G-1000, a unique fabric that can be waxed for further protection against weather and wear.

On these pages, you will find out more about them plus an overview of all our models, some of which are available in warmer winter versions, with different leg lengths and fits.

One example of the latter is Curved Fit for women who want to have a little extra width over the hips and thighs, as well as a slightly more accentuated waist.

e hav e worked hard to create the outdoor trousers you have with you when you are out trekking. We have climbed, clambered, slid, waded, skied, hiked and trekked between cabins. We have tested different materials and cuts to the max.

It can be said that we have been incredibly particular when it comes to trousers.

The fit has to be perfect. Durability high. They have to protect against the weather, wind and chafing, as well as the sharp edges of nature. They have to have the right pockets in the right places, reinforcements where needed, boothooks sometimes. Maybe ventilation openings, depending on what activities they are designed for.

woMen'S FITS

A couple of years ago we ­developed Curved Fit, a new fit for trousers that was requested by ­women who need a little extra width over the rear and thighs, but still an accentuated waist.

AT NATURE’S SERVICE FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS 1968 Greenland Jacket Fjällräven’s first jacket is developed in cooperation with members of the Greenland expedition. The jacket is made from a durable fabric that is too heavy for Fjällräven’s lightweight tents but, when impregnated with beeswax and paraffin, proves to have excellent functional properties. The fabric is called g-1000 and the impregnation Greenland Wax.

1960 Backpacks Åke Nordin starts Fjällräven in a basement in Örnsköldsvik. His revolutionary aluminium backpack frame makes the wilderness a little bit more accessible.

1966 Greenland Expedition A group of Scandinavian alpinists and researchers travel to Greenland to study glaciers. Fjällräven’s tents and backpacks are used and lauded by members of the expedition.

1964 Termo Tent The first condensation-free tent is introduced. Its innovative construction with two layers of material means that people can wake up dry and comfortable in the outdoors.

1960 1965 First Golden Fox Per-Åke Sjöman is named ­Golden Fox, a title that has ever since honoured people who have made significant contributions to the development of outdoor life.

1970 Greenland Trousers Fjällräven’s first trousers quickly become a favourite among outdoor enthusiasts, both for excursions in the mountains and for everyday outdoor activities.

1974 Safari Jacket After having provided expeditions to tropical climates with equipment, Fjällräven develops its first specially designed travel garments.

1976 Canada Shirt Fjällräven’s Canada Shirt quickly becomes a symbol for durable outdoor shirts. The thick fabric and generous cut retains heat and the shirt becomes a favourite in many outdoor wardrobes.

1979 Fjällräven Weeks Fjällräven starts to take ­c urious ­beginners outside to spark an interest in s­ pending time outdoors.

1970

1980 1974 Expedition Down Åke Nordin decides to never be cold again. His solution consists of two jackets that are sewn together. The overlapping construction prevents heat loss and keeps out cold winds.

1973 HAP In 1965, Fjällräven’s Arctic sleeping bag was already being used on expeditions on a regular basis. The introduction of the next generation hap (High Alpine Polar) model means that the sleeping bag can be used in many more environments.

1992 Akka Tent The popular Akka tent is introduced. A more advanced version of the original model is still part of our range today.

1993 Fjällräven Extreme Marathon (F.E.M.) Sweden’s first extreme marathon, f.e.m., takes place in the mountains with 70, 50 and 30 kilometre versions held over two days.

Arranged first in Björkliden and later in Åre.

1975 Gyro Frame The tethered suspension gives the user full mobility while still keeping control of the backpack.

2005 Åke as a role model 1,300 of Sweden’s most experienced business executives select Åke Nordin as one of their leading role models in Sweden. The award is handed out by the Founders Alliance at Stockholm City Hall.

1994 Save the Arctic Fox A project with researcher Anders Angerbjörn is initiated to save the endangered Scandinavian arctic fox. The Save the Arctic Fox project is still active today.

1990

1978 Kånken Created to prevent back problems in school children, Kånken has become an iconic example of Swedish design.

In 2008 Kånken becomes the first climate compensated backpack in the world.

1989 Silhuett Fjällräven studies the body’s movements when sleeping and introduces its Silhuett sleeping bag. The sleeping bag is a huge hit.

2008 PAK 5 The pak 5 is launched, a complete set for mountain trekking that weighs less than five kilos. Named Scandinavia’s best outdoor product.

2000 1992 Fält Jacket Together with Lars Fält, founder of the Swedish Armed Forces’ survival school, Fjällräven develops the Fält Jacket to meet the most demanding requirements that can be placed on a survival garment.

2010 Akka is awarded The Akka tent range is reintroduced and Fjällräven receives recognition for its development. One of the awards received is for “Best Outdoor P ­ roduct”, which is given to the Akka Dome tent by Swedish outdoor magazine, Utemagasinet.

1997 Fjällräven Polar The first Fjällräven Polar takes place – a dogsled competition north of the Arctic Circle where the participants consist of “regular people”. The objectives are to show that the wilderness is enjoyable even in a harsh winter climate and to draw attention to climate change in the Arctic region.

2011 Luhkka The Luhkka is developed in collaboration with Sami reindeer herder Nils-Anders Blind. Inspiration comes from the traditional Sami garment with the same name (luhkka means “bad weather collar”).

2012 Fjällräven Numbers We launch Fjällräven Numbers, a line of outdoor garments with exceptionally long lives and low impact on the environment. G­aiter Trousers No. 1 were named the best new outdoors trousers by the outdoors media.

1999 Vidda Fjällräven introduces its most popular outdoor trousers in durable g-1000. With their reinforced knees and rear, adjustable leg endings and eight practical pockets, Vidda quickly becomes a favourite among experienced mountain trekkers.

2005 Fjällräven Classic The annual 110 km trek is held for the first time. Trekkers follow the Kungsleden Trail in Swedish Lapland, one of the world’s most beautiful environments.

2013 Save the Arctic Fox 2.0 Fjällräven’s support in conserving the Arctic Fox population is intensified when Fjällräven starts financing a full-time research position at Stockholm University’s Department of Zoology.

2008 Kajka A new trekking backpack is introduced and becomes a favourite among trekkers around the world.

Since then, Kajka has received many prestigious awards for its function and comfort.

2013 The Fjällräven Way We launch The Fjällräven Way – a comprehensive and aspirational sustainability policy document with guidelines for our corporate responsibility at a number of different levels and areas within the organisation.

2015 Eco-Shell 2.0 A new series of sustainable shell garments is launched as part of the Keb family of technical outdoor clothing, lifting waterproof hard­ shells to a new performance level.

Keb Eco-Shell Anorak draws attention instantly and is presented with a prestigious ISPO Award.

2010 2010 Keb Trousers The Keb Trousers made from g-1000 and stretch are released and immediately win the Outdoor Industry Award for “Best O ­ utdoor Trousers”. The judging panel praises the trousers’ durability, functionality and environmental friendliness.

2011 Eco-Shell The Eco-Shell shell fabric is developed in cooperation with Teijin. Before the Eco-Trail Jacket even reaches the stores it wins a number of environmental awards, including the soa Sustainability Award as the most environmentally friendly new product of 2011.

2012 Fjällräven Polar 2.0 Fjällräven Polar starts up again in a new format. The participants still travel with dog sleds, but instead of competing with each other the focus is placed on sharing knowledge of outdoor life and inspiring more people to take part in outdoor activities in the winter.

2013 Kajka with a ­wooden frame Fjällräven upgrades the popular ­Kajka with a new frame that has exciting eco-credentials. Laminated birch is as strong as aluminium, yet decreases the frame’s co2 emissions by 90 per cent.

2014 Down Promise is launched After having established a unique manufacturing process, where Fjällräven’s down is 100% traceable and produced with the greatest possible care given to the wellbeing of the birds, our Down Promise is launched: Only ethically ­produced down of the highest quality.
