Mission:
ustainability
s
When the Keb series was to be expanded to
include waterproof hardshells the development
team gave themselves a challenge: to create highly
functional waterproof shell garments with
the lowest possible environmental impact.
This is the story of their journey.

pulls a zipper on a shell
jacket and checks how it
glides along the opening.
Henrik Andersson, Head
of Innovation and Design at Fjllrven, is
playing the part of dressmakers dummy and
patiently lifts his arms and turns around
according to Peters instructions. The fa
miliar smell of campfires can be detected
in the design office.
Someone must have lit a campfire the
last time this jacket was being tested out in
the field. This jacket has seen quite a lot of
action, says Peter Lindblom with a smile.
The jacket he is talking about is Fjll
rvens latest addition to the Keb family; Keb
Eco-Shell Jacket. It is a modern, minima
listic shell jacket designed for the toughest
imaginable conditions in the mountains.
But it is also Fjllrvens answer to the
question regarding what the worlds most
functional waterproof garment that is also
environmentally sustainable can look like.
It is the result of three years worth of
persistent development work.
The first generation of Eco-Shell gar
ments was released in 2011. At the same time,
Fjllrven was working on the technical
Keb family of garments for alpine trekking
in demanding terrain. The basic idea with
Keb has always been to develop a system
of garments that work together, and not
long into the process the idea came along
to design waterproof shell garments as a
complement to the jackets and trousers
made from G-1000 and stretch fabric.
And these were not going to be just any
shell garments:
We decided to develop the most func
tional series of waterproof hardshells ever
created, without making any compromises
what-so-ever when it came to sustainability,
explains Henrik Andersson. We dont want
our products to have an unnecessary negative
effect on the environment and animal life.
Achieving the highest level of functionality
and lowest level of environmental impact
are equally prioritised and it is not until
we have achieved both aspects that we are
happy with a product.
With this goal, an intensive period of
development work began.
The base for the new garments was
of course Eco-Shell a newly developed
membrane laminate with the highest wa
terproofness and breathability performance,
and that is made so it can stretch and thereby

give a totally new freedom of movement to garments. But the


real point is that all three layers are made from polyester, in part
recycled, which gives the garment a fantastic advantage in the
future as it can be recycled. In addition, garments are also climate
compensated and impregnated entirely without fluorocarbons.
Why do you want to avoid fluorocarbons?
Fluorocarbons are harmful to the environment, they bio-ac
cumulate in living organisms and remain for an extremely long
time in ground water and nature, says Henrik Andersson. Flu
orochemistry is complex, and it is still legal to use these types of
chemicals. But we are not waiting until the law changes we dont
want to use fluorocarbons in our products.
What compromises have to be made when choosing
a fluorocarbon-free impregnation?
When it comes to pure functionality, there are no decisive
compromises. The waterproofness comes from the membrane,
the impregnation is there to keep the outer surface of the fabric
as dry as possible. A fluorocarbon-free impregnation is also water
resistant but it is not as resistant to oils and dirt as traditional
impregnations and it needs to be renewed a little more often.

he jacket that Henrik and Peter are looking


at in the office is one of ten prototypes that the
development department have let Fjllrvens test
team scrutinise during drawn-out field tests. The
group is led by production specialist Johan Skullman
and consists of mountain guides, dog mushers and professionals

who are outdoors for days on end, and who


have taken Eco-Shell garments trekking,
ski touring and alpine skiing. As well as on
countless other everyday outdoor adventures.
The garments have been up to the top of
Mt Kebnekaise (of course, it is after all where
the collection got its name), they have been
battling through swirling snow and head
winds in Laplands mountainous expanses,
rock climbing in pouring rain, and exposed
to freezing temperatures in Svalbard and
deep powder snow in Japan. But they have
also been used by the development team on
their own adventures, both in the mountains
and forests closer to home.
In order for us to understand how a
garment works in reality, with everything
from material choice and cut to the place
ment of the pockets, we have to be out there
using it both in extreme environments and
in more everyday situations, says Henrik
Andersson. And we conduct laboratory
tests as well of course, where the durability,
waterproofness and technical performance
of the fabrics are analysed.
This autumn and winter you will be
able to see the results for the first time out
in the stores. Henrik Andersson explains
the process.
When we work with this kind of
project, we dont have a deadline. There
is no pressure to be finished for a certain
autumn or spring collection. If it is going
to be the best possible product then it has
to be allowed to take the time that it takes.
How did you approach the design of
the products?
Functionality and form are not oppo
sites. If you start on a design of a product
based on its necessary features, everything
usually falls into place. There is not a single
thing on the jacket that is not there for a
reason this is true for every detail from
ventilation and pockets to the hood and
adjustments, says Peter Lindblom.

he new collection
consists of a jacket, an
anorak and a pair of trou
sers, all in both mens and
womens models. In addi
tion, there is a longer, lightly padded parka
and a pair of bib trousers. The garments
are designed to work by themselves and
together and they should be able to be
combined with other garments in the Keb
family, explains Peter Lindblom.
The shell trousers are, for example, cut
10

Facts on Fluorocarbons
Fluorocarbons are often used as impregnation on textiles to repel water and dirt.
Impregnation changes the surface tension of
the garment so that water forms droplets and
runs off.
The disadvantage is that these chemicals
also have other, less desirable, properties.
Fluorocarbons are chemically stable
which means that they are not broken down
in the environment, but rather that they
spread and are stored in living organisms.
There is also research that shows that they
can affect reproduction systems and hormone
production in mammals. They are suspected

to cause cancer and can travel long distances


they have been found all the way up in the
Arctic region.
This is the reason behind Fjllrvens
decision to only use fluorocarbon-free impregnation in all products.
Ask for a fluorocarbon-free impregnation product in your outdoor store next time
you are going to impregnate your jacket. You
can choose between products that you wash
into the garments, and others that you spray
on.

The Keb Eco-Shell series has been tested in very


tough conditions, all around the world. Here,
on the way up to Mt Kebnekaises southern
peak, a cold front has just hit the test team.

Helmet-compatible, adjustable hood

trousers in G-1000, as a reinforcement layer
when the weather suddenly turns wet. All
cuts are meticulously worked through for the
best fit they are snug fitting but still have
room for an insulating layer underneath.
It has been a challenge to make a jacket
as lightweight as possible at the same time as
it must be able to handle tough conditions,
give maximum freedom of movement and
minimum environmental impact.
Now Keb Eco-Shell Jacket and the
other garments are available in stores,
they have been shown at trade fairs and got
their first early response from the outdoor
industry and the anorak has received an
honourable ISPO Award. Are Peter and
Henrik pleased?
Yes, absolutely. We have managed to
create garments that have adaptable functio
nality, and the response from the test team
and early users has been amazingly positive.
What makes us really pleased is that we
have managed to do all of this at the same
time as we have minimised environmental
impact, says Henrik Andersson.

Eco-Shell 3 layers for weather protection

C
Keb Eco-Shell garments are made from the
newly developed Eco-Shell 3-Layer Stretch
that follows body movements naturally.
A: The outer fabric in recycled polyester is
treated with a fluorocarbon-free impregnation that repels rain, water, sleet and snow
from the outer layer of the fabric.
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

B
it evaporates. The membrane is 100% wind and
waterproof from the outside.
C: A thin polyester lining protects the inside
of the membrane and makes the garment soft
and comfortable against the skin. This inner
layer also helps initiate the transport of body
moisture through the membrane.
D: Together with the membrane, the
windproof outer fabric stops cold winds from
getting though the garment and lowering the
temperature inside.

of working with down, we have managed to establish
a unique, sustainable chain of production with repeated

Our Down Promise

Keeping an
eye on quality:
High-quality down
products are graded
according to their
fill power. 400-450 is
considered medium
quality, 500-550 is
good quality, 550-750 is
very good quality and
750+ is excellent. The
majority of our down
products have a fill
power of over 600.

Down is the obvious


choice for sleeping
bags when weight and
volume are high priorities, for example when
trekking. Down is the
material that gives
the most insulation in
relation to its weight,
and it can be packed to
a very small volume so
it takes up less space in
a backpack.

Light and
packable:

We are not happy with a


certificate. We want to see
it with our own eyes.

The origins of
our down:
The high-quality down
we use in our garments
and equipment is a
by-product of meat
production. We use
only one down supplier, with whom we
have a close and active
relationship during
the entire production
process.

6 questions for Christiane Dolva


Head of Sustainability at Fjllrven

The organisation Four Paws has ranked


Fjllrvens down process as the best
in the entire outdoor industry. Why?
We have set up our own process to
gether with a veterinarian and our partners
in China, and we have control over the whole
process. There are two different standards
in the branch, and in our process we dont
rely on certificates or audit reports, we
go there ourselves and check. We dont
only inspect the geese farms either, we
also include the egg hatching process, the
transportation of geese, slaughter and all
handling of the down.
How do you make sure the process is
carried out according to the criteria
you have put in place?
The most important thing is that
we are there on the ground in China and
conduct regular inspections. This has been
the main idea behind our down process,
and maybe this is why we are the best. We
have to keep all dialogue channels open
and keep placing demands on our suppliers
so we dont lose what we have built up. It
has taken several years to put a transparent
chain of production in place.
What has been the most challenging
aspect?
Several years ago the branchs approach
was that you simply could not trace down
because it was purchased in a way that
was impossible to monitor. Proving this
wrong has required investing in logistics
and we have had to think outside of the box.
We have, for example, developed our own

sacks that are marked so our down cannot


get mixed up with other down, and we
have started keeping stocks of down in a
way that we havent been able to do before.
Can the process be further improved,
and if so, how?
It is a continuous process. You cant
make a big effort then lean back and take
it easy. We have to continue being on the
ground in China and showing our suppliers
that we are serious about our guidelines
and demands. We are also going to look
at organising even better transportation
methods for the geese.
What has the response been to Fjllrvens down process?
We have had an incredibly positive
response from the entire industry. Many
think that we have made amazing progress
and they want to know how we have done
it. Our customers who have questions about
these issues are positively surprised that we
can give such good answers.
The down issue is part of your job as
Head of Sustainability at Fjllrven.
What is your main responsibility?
It is to make sure that all parts of
Fjllrvens organisation have the tools
and competence that they need to make
sustainable choices. I make sure that we
have sustainability work integrated into the
entire organisation. Down is just a small
part of it, and it has taken many years and
a lot of work to get to this level. So that
says something about the complexity of it.

of making clothing
that protects us

itself is fighting to survive? Our love for
the wilderness and our desire to protect it
pervades everything we do at Fjllrven.
After several years of intensive develop
ment work we are therefore proud to present
Keb Eco-Shell, a whole new series of shell
garments that dont just reach our maxi
mum technical level by being waterproof
and breathable they are also impregnated
entirely without the use of environmentally
22

toxic fluorocarbons. With Keb Eco-Shell


we have taken the next step towards the top:
garments that are minimalistic and made
for maximum freedom of movement, but
at the same time durable enough to give
complete weather protection in difficult
terrain regardless of if you are skiing or
out on a challenging trek.
Technically, Keb Eco-Shell has a th
ree-layer stretch construction. Its breatha
bility is excellent and allows body moisture
to be efficiently ventilated out, at the same
time as rain and wind cannot permeate the
fabric from the outside. In addition, the
garments are made from 100% polyester

(both recycled and virgin) so they are


suitable for future recycling.
Our goal with Keb Eco-Shell is higher
than simply protecting you against the
elements all year round.

A Tip from Fjllrven:


Dont underestimate
the wind!
Moderate to strong breeze
doesnt sound so bad. But
when the temperature is at
0 degrees, the wind-chill
effect of an 8m/sec breeze is
-13 degrees on the skin.

Lightweight and durable outer


fabric made from recycled poly
ester, a membrane that ventilates
out moisture from the inside
and an inner fabric that feels
comfortable against the skin.

One of our new


comers this year is
Keb Eco-Shell Trousers. Crea
ting the optimal shell trousers
required careful selection of
materials and testing them
in really tough conditions as
well as a good team of people
and a lot of hard work. These
trousers are made from 100%
polyester and their impreg
nation is 100% free from
fluorocarbons.
Which details are worth
an extra mention?
We have reinforced the
trousers at the lower legs and
there are zippers the whole
way up the sides so they are
easy to put on and take off.
There are Velcro adjustments
at the waist and a belt so the
trousers can be adjusted to
sit really comfortably. Keb
Eco-Shell Trousers are a com
plement to Keb Trousers, one
of Fjllrvens most popular
products.
What makes the
original Keb Trousers so
unique?
They are well-fitting and
durable trousers with a lot of
smart features and ventilation
possibilities. The stretch in
the trousers makes them
incredibly comfortable to
wear and the reinforcements
in g-1000 make them very
durable. Keb Eco-Shell Trou
sers are a complement to Keb
Trousers, and they have been
designed so they can be worn
over regular trekking trousers
when trekking in the moun
tains a pair of reinforcement
trousers is often needed when
wet weather is encountered.

Thomas Hkansson, Designer


at Fjllrven

When we started
working on a new
winter parka for our Numbers
series our aim was to create
the best parka ever made.
Totally without compromises.
And we think we have suc
ceeded in this. We have used
our collective knowledge and
the best materials available
and the result is Expedition
Down Parka No.1. It has been
designed completely from a
user perspective. The jacket is
suitable for professional use in
the Arctic, where reliability,
functionality and user-friend
liness are of the utmost
importance. Everything is
over dimensioned so it can be
handled with gloves on.
What is the parka made
of?
The outer fabric is G-1000
Eco, and it is padded with
ethically-produced down. The
shoulders, sleeves, lower back
and pockets are made from
G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco, and
the linings of the hand pock
ets and the inside of the collar
are made from soft, warm
wool from the renowned cloth
mill Abraham Moon.
How long will it last?
I would like to meet the
person who can wear out this
parka. It quite simply isnt
possible. Fjllrvens down
jackets from the 1970s are still
going strong 40 years later.
And this can have an even
longer life. It is a jacket for
generations of users.

Fjllrven is highly
associated with

origins. Today it is normal to
be out trekking for 3-4 days,
but before it was not unusual
to be out for up to 14 days.
Sarek is all about packing a
large backpack and trekking
for longer periods, being more
self-sufficient. I like trekking

National Park.
Sarek is a robust collection
that symbolically characteri
ses the national park: you are
in some really remote places
and you are not trekking from
cabin to cabin. The weather
can change very quickly
which means you cannot take
the chance of sleeping under
the stars, more often than
not you will have to sleep in
a tent.
What characterises

Sarek is a collection of
robust garments in timeless
styles. We use the heavier

both HeavyDuty and Original.
The most important aspect is
durability and that they are

Kenth Fjellborg

Kenth Fjellborgs forefathers were


among the first to live permanently
in Jukkasjrvi in the 1700s.

Where the road ends


How do we test and develop products for the
Arctic climate? For 25 years, one of Swedens
most experienced dog mushers has helped
Fjllrven with his unique knowledge. Meet
Kenth Fjellborg from Poikkijrvi.

enth fjellborg lives


to make the difficult easy
and the impossible possible.
For more than 20 years, his
company has developed and
simplified dogsledding tourism with the
goal of making the Scandinavian wilderness
accessible to everyone. The question is if
there is any challenge left when nothing
is left to chance?
For many guests, just experiencing the
feel of snow and ice under their boots is an
adventure, explains Kenth. Things that
Scandinavians take for granted are not at
all normal if you come from countries such
as Brazil or Australia.
We are 160 kilometres north of the
Arctic Circle in the village of Poikkijrvi,
east of Kiruna, where Kenth and Ann Fjellborgs property looks out over the impressive

38

Tornelven River. The world-famous ice


hotel can be seen on the other side of the
river in Jukkasjrvi. Kenths forefathers
were among the first to live permanently in
Jukkasjrvi in the 1700s. His grandfather,
however, chose to build his house in the
small village of Poikkijrvi, on the other
side of the river, and it is here, close to the
village but not too close, that Fjellborg
Arctic Journeys is based.
Around 100 Alaskan huskies live in the
familys kennels and from the farmyard you
can see a series of trails leading down to the
ice and into the forests north of the river.
This is Kenths backyard and he knows it
like the back of his hand - he grew up here.
He has never felt the need to live anywhere
else, except for when he was 19 and decided
he wanted to expand his horizons by working
abroad for a while.

39

Kenth Fjellborg

Kenth Fjellborg has been involved with and developed


a number of products for Fjllrven including
clothing that can withstand extreme cold.

Kenth Fjellborg has over 100 Alaskan huskies.


The first litter was born in 1990.

This maybe says something about


my interests as a teenager I travelled to
Alaska, the one place in the world that is
similar to Lapland in terms of both lifestyle
and wilderness.
Dogsledding tourism came to Jukkas
jrvi when Kenth was a teenager and his
desire to learn something new led him to
help in the kennels and take care of and
train sled dogs. After winning a competition
with a team of six borrowed dogs, Kenth
decided to learn everything he could about
dogsled driving, known as mushing, in
the sports homeland Alaska. He got a job
with the musher Joe Runyan in Nenana,
whose kennel had 140 adult dogs plus
pups. Runyan had won the world-famous
dogsledding competition Iditarod the same
year something that made Kenths job
even more exciting. Runyans dogs were
considered to be among the best in the
world and Kenth got the chance to learn
40

all he could at the highest level possible.


After his win and the resulting attention
it brought with it, Runyan found himself
travelling a lot of the time so during the
summer Kenth took on sole responsibility
for the kennels, which was no small task
for the teenager from Poikkijrvi.
But I had experience in working with
dogs, and I was used to four wheelers and
snow mobiles. Dealing with mosquitoes
was another aspect he knew all about!
Kenth worked hard and took on board
as much specialised knowledge as he could
knowledge that is usually only passed
down from one generation to the next in
American dogsledding circles. When he
returned home, it was his goal to build
up his own kennel for competition and
tourism activities. In 1990, his first litter of
huskies was born, by the bitch Derby who
was imported from Alaska.
A few years later, Kenth returned to

Alaska to participate in the Iditarod Trail


Sled Dog Race 1800 kilometres through
Alaskas wilderness with 16 dogs.
I got 20th place in Iditarod 1994 but I
missed out on the title Rookie of the Year.
Ramy Brooks won that. He came 17th,
only one hour and 17 minutes ahead of me.

ou cant help noticing


that Kenth has a competiti
ve spirit, but as his operation
grew it became harder to
combine competing with
taking tourists dogsledding and as a result
he decided to retire from competing and
spend all his time working with dogsled
ding tourism.
It was at this stage of his career, in the
beginning of the 1990s, that Kenth and
Fjllrvens founder ke Nordin got to
know each other. Their common interest in
outdoor challenges led to the first edition

of Fjllrven Polar, which was a Swedish


version of Iditarod, but for regular people.
Today, the competitive element of the
event has been completely removed and the
focus is now on educating and inspiring
the participants.
At the same time as ke and Kenth
started Polar, they also started another
project together that focused on clothing
and equipment for the Arctic climate.
Kenths dogsledding operation provided
a unique chance to test products in an
extreme climate, with the help of people
who needed hardwearing and functional
clothing in their daily work. Fjllrvens
Polar Bib Trousers and Polar Parka are
examples of products that Kenth has been
involved in the development of, clothing
designed to withstand extreme cold and hard
wear not at least from sharp dog claws.
There have been amazing developments
made since my first years as a dogsledding

Kenths three best wilderness tips:


1. No fire no rest
Keep matches dry and transport dry birch bark in a
plastic bag between your back and your backpack.
Being able to make a fire is essential. It is hard to
get dry with just a camping stove if you have fallen
through the ice.
2. The best equipment is the gear you dont
think about.
Wear worn-in shoes and equipment you have tried
and tested. Clothing should be flexible and work
well in all kinds of weather. When you find yourself
far from home you have to be able to feel secure
with your equipment and be able to solve problems
in the field.
3. Fewer things = happier trip.
Leave the gadgets at home! Who wants to get
annoyed by the new handheld espresso machine
that doesnt work as it should or because you left it
at the last campsite?

guide. The equipment we used at the end


of the 1980s consisted of a combination of
cumbersome clothing made for slaughter
house workers and homemade gloves and
woollen garments. Today, it is an entirely
different story. For those of us who spend
a large amount of time outside, being dry
and warm rather than wet and cold is not
just a question of comfort, it is a question
of safety.
Fjellborg Arctic Journeys has also
made a lot of headway since it started up
business 20 years ago. Today, the company
owns three lodges that have been built
from scratch in strategic locations out in
the wilderness around Jukkasjrvi. On
multi-day dogsledding tours guests are
driven from one lodge to another and spend
their evenings enjoying warm saunas and
delicious dinners in the peaceful Lapland
wilderness.
Preserving all that is genuine and

dogs and dogsledding.

simple is important to us. For many of our


guests, the silence alone is reason enough
to come to us.
In addition to the lodge-based trips,
longer dog sledding adventures are orga
nised that reach all the way into Norway
or Finland. Tailor-made excursions are
also available, such as Albert II, Prince of
Monacos expedition to the North Pole. The
idea came about in Kenths sauna, when the
prince and his friends were celebrating the
completion of a successful trip through the
Signaldalen valley. When one of the party
jokingly suggested the South Pole as a goal
for their next trip Kenth answered that
this was unfortunately impossible for him
to help with but he could organise a trip
to the North Pole instead. Said and done,
after a lot of preparations Prince Alberts
expedition reached the North Pole on April
16th, 2006.
It was the first time a sitting head
of state had put a flag at the North Pole
and a great moment for the entire team,
remembers Kenth.
Kenth thinks that the company conti
42

nues to attract guests with high demands


because of his long-term thinking and that
he has always invested in the best quality
possible. His business philosophy has many
similarities to his dogsledding where it
is a deciding factor to have the right dog
in the right place and that everyone takes
responsibility for their job, because a dog
team is only as strong as its weakest member.
Getting back to the question of adven
ture, is it still an adventure if everything
from equipment to logistics is planned to
the most minute detail? Kenth thinks it
depends on how you define an adventure.
In the 1990s travelling was a lot about
seeing specific things and places. But this
is not enough for todays guests. They want
to get a taste of our lifestyle and at the same
time discover new sides of themselves. The
focus is more about the inner journey and
the adventure you experience when you
leave your comfort zone and challenge
yourself, he explains.
The last expedition for the season is for
three VIP guests Kenths daughters aged
7, 10 and 12, who will all be driving their

own dogsleds. Kenth thinks that it is great


that the idea for this family outing with the
dogs came from the children themselves and
he is careful to explain that he has never
pushed them into dogsledding or taking
part in the family company.
You have to have a whole-hearted
interest for it to work, you cant take over
an operation like this just because your
daddy wants you to.
When asked if he will close the circle
and return to the competition circuit, Kenth
answers thoughtfully, as he always does.
Yes, I sometimes feel the desire to
compete again, but it is an elite sport that
demands total focus and commitment which
would be hard to combine with the level of
service I want to maintain for our guests.
But bearing in mind that it is a sport where
the dogs do the majority of the physical
work, maybe I could make a comeback
once I have retired. The oldest participant
that has completed Iditarod was 86 years
old, so I have time on my side, says Kenth
with a smile.

Preserving all that is


genuine and simple
is important to us.

By organising Fjllrven Polar we want
to show that outdoor life in the wintertime
does not have to be inhospitable and cold
with the right equipment and preparations

44

it can be both enjoyable and safe.


Until 2006, Fjllrven Polar was held as
a competitive event, and after this we took
a break for five years. In 2012 it started up
again but without the competitive element.
The idea of Fjllrven Polar came about
when Kenth Fjellborg, one of Swedens
leading mushers (read more about Kenth
on page 39), met Fjllrvens founder ke
Nordin in the beginning of the 1990s. Fjell
borg had taken part in Iditarod, the worlds
most challenging dogsledding competition
in Alaska, where only the best mushers in
the world are allowed to participate. Kenth
and ke put their heads together and start
ed discussing the possibility of a Swedish
version, but for regular people. When they
told people about their idea the response
was amazing, and since Fjllrven Polar
started in 1997, thousands of applications
from all over the globe have been received
every year.

The most important thing to remember about


being outdoors in the winter is to stay dry.
Fjllrven supplies all participants with the gear
and training they need for the adventure.

The expedition begins with a survival course led


by Johan Skullman, who has 30 years experience
of outdoor life and survival in the wilderness.
45

Fjllrven Polar

2015 was no exception. This years edition of


Fjllrven Polar attracted applicants from
countries such as South Korea, Germany,
USA and Norway. Expectations were high
when the participants met in Sigtuna,
Stockholm, for their first survival course
with Fjllrvens expert Johan Skullman,
who has more than 30 years experience of
life in the wilderness.
I have never travelled through a winter
landscape before. And I have no experience
of being with Alaskan huskies, everything
is new to me! says Tseren Enebish who has
travelled from Mongolia to Sweden to take
part in Fjllrven Polar.
This year, the event started on April
7th in Signaldalen Valley, Norway, and the
participants drove their dogsleds for five days
across the region known as Nordkalotten.
From the coast they travelled over moun
tains and across the tundra through the
sub-Arctic wilderness, over the mountain
lowlands and on through the alpine forests
surrounding Jukkasjrvi.
For the first time in the events history,
the entire expedition was delayed a day due
to strong winds and heavy snowfalls. When
the participants came up above the treeline
they were met by a storm that delivered
50cm of snow in only 24 hours.
I got a real adrenaline kick from the
strong winds and the visibility was terrible.
You could hardly see the person in front
of you. That really kept you on your toes,
said participant Emma Elwin from Sweden
who was very impressed by how the dogs
handled the situation.
They were fantastic, they knew exactly
what to do.
After five days in the wilderness, the
expedition came to an end. The participants
all experienced an array of emotions; relief
over making it the whole way to the finish
combined with sadness that it was all over
as well as anxiety about leaving their new
friends and the heroic dogs.
I am sad because it is the end of an
adventure, said Inger Kristin Gorseth from
Norway at the finish line in Vkkr outside
Jukkasjrvi.
But several of the participants are al
ready talking about organising a reunion, so
I have to look at it as the start of something
new instead.

c
It is extremely durable. It is water resistant.
It is G-1000. Here is the story behind one
of the worlds foremost functional fabrics
and the wax that has been its best friend
for almost 50 years.

T
With Greenland Wax you can adapt the functionality of
your g-1000 garment. More wax gives more water and
wind resistance, less gives more ventilation.

48

he square yellow block


of wax is one of Fjllrvens most important
building blocks. Its recipe
is secret. Its effect is asto
nishing. Greenland Wax increases both
the durability and flexibility of use of our
functional fabric G-1000. Since the end
of the 1960s, Greenland Wax has been
produced by a Swedish family company
in Dalarna, central Sweden. No wonder
it is shrouded in myth.
Its ingredients are simple: pure pa
raffin and high-quality beeswax. This
makes Greenland Wax kinder towards
both people and the environment than
chemically-based impregnation products.
The paraffin is melted in a large vat and
when it has reached the right temperature,
pieces of beeswax are stirred in. A total
of 190 000 blocks of Greenland Wax are
produced every year and sold in stores all
over the world.

So why is it called Greenland?


The starting point of the wax, the fabric
and their names was, like so many other
things in life, a mixture of coincidence
and genius.
In 1966, Fjllrven supplied a climbing
expedition to Greenland with tents and
backpacks. When the expedition members
returned home they were dissatisfied with
the functionality of their clothing and had
long discussions with Fjllrvens founder
ke Nordin about how it could be improved.
With their ideas as a point of departure,
ke Nordin began to design a jacket.
Using a specially developed tent
cloth that had proved to be too heavy for
lightweight tents, ke Nordin made the
first version of the now legendary garment
that was named Greenland Jacket. The
fabric was 65% polyester and 35% cotton,
and once it had been complemented with
a blend of beeswax and paraffin it proved
to be perfect for outdoor clothing.

The wax was named Greenland Wax


and the fabric was named G-1000 after
Greenland.
Since the end of the 1960s this magic
duo has been the foundation of Fjllrvens
development of new clothing and products.
Today G-1000 comes in four versions, as
well as eco versions made from recycled
polyester and organic cotton.
G-1000 is an extremely durable fabric
that both ventilates and is wind and water
resistant. The fabric provides almost 100%
protection against the suns ultraviolet
rays (UVA and UVB) and therefore greatly
reduces the risk of sunburn. It protects
against mosquitoes and is perfect to wear
all year round.
Unique properties for unique expe
riences.

G-1000

See the movie at www.fjallraven.com

Seven properties
that together make
G-1000 unique
Hardwearing
g-1000 is very resistant to wear, and this in combination with its
low weight makes it an excellent choice for both travelling and
outdoor life.
Adaptable
By applying Greenland Wax, you can easily adapt your g-1000 gar
ments to different weather conditions and activity levels. The wax
also increases the lifespan of the garment by enhancing its durability.
Water resistant
Greenland Wax makes g-1000 garments very resistant to rain and
moisture. This means that you can wear them during brief rain
showers. If the fabric gets wet, it will dry fast.
Windproof
The dense weave makes g-1000 almost totally windproof. Once
impregnated with Greenland Wax it offers complete protection
against freezing winds.
Well ventilated
One of g-1000s most impressive qualities is its excellent ventilation
it efficiently releases moisture from the body, which is particularly
practical when taking part in strenuous activities.
Mosquito safe
The tight weave keeps mosquitoes and other flying insects away
from your skin practical both in the mountains and the forest, or
when travelling in hot climates. (G-1000 Lite is not mosquito safe.)
UV protection
The fabric provides almost 100% protection against the suns
u ltraviolet rays (UVA and UVB) and therefore greatly reduces the
risk of getting sunburned.

Chief Designer Martin Aveyard in the attic


above the design office. This is where all the
old samples are archived.

We are not
the best at
everything
With expert craftsmanship, sure instinct
and tradition, the worlds leading wool
fabrics have been made by Abraham Moon
& Sons in England since 1837. This is where
Fjllrven sources the wool fabric used for
lining F jllrvens top collection.

here is not much that


tells you that the mill at
the end of the road in the
humble village of Guiseley,
west Yorkshire, is one of the
textile and fashion worlds most desirable
suppliers.
As you pass the Wetherby Whaler fish
and chip shop and the Station Pub, Paris
and Milan feel very, very far away. But it
is here, to Abraham Moon & Sons, that the
global fashion industry turns when they
want wool fabrics of absolute world class.
Until the beginning of the 1980s, there
were as many as seven cloth mills and wool
producers in the village of Guiseley alone,
and too many to count in the county of
Yorkshire. Today, however, there is only
Abraham Moon & Sons left and they are
now the villages biggest employer with
their 180-strong staff. This is, however, a far
cry from the 1000 employees who worked
here a century ago.
The wool industry received blow after
blow in the 1980s. Cotton and linen fabrics
52

took over for summer clothing, compe


tition from Turkey and China, among
other countries, became stiffer, and new
technical materials such as Gore-Tex and
fleece, and even Fjllrvens own G-1000,
were suddenly being favoured by outdoor
enthusiasts.
Then the British began installing cen
tral heating into their homes along with
double-glazed windows, and the number of
people who wanted to get around in fuzzy
clothing made from old sheep was reduced
further. Wool quickly became hopelessly
old-fashioned.
The other wool mills in the area closed
down as the competition for the shrinking
market became too much. But Abraham
Moon & Sons chose another route and
stood there ready to go when the demand
for wool fabrics increased again after the
turn of the millennium. They have always
kept control over the entire process from

high-quality fabrics that the competition
quite simply cannot compete with. But
those who expect to see fields of grazing
sheep on the slopes behind the mill will be
disappointed. The raw material for their
wool fabrics comes primarily from New
Zealand and South Africa.
English sheep do not have the best
quality wool anymore. They are bred for
meat rather than to provide high-quality
wool, says Martin Aveyard, Chief Designer
at Abraham Moon & Sons, at the same
time as he rubs his forefinger and thumb
together, feeling an imaginary piece of wool.
Highly technical materials are all very
well, but wool fabrics actually have an
unbeatable property that modern-day
textile engineers are pulling their hair out
in attempts to match: wool insulates and
warms even when it is damp. It also has
54

a natural elasticity that makes woollen


clothing relatively crease free, it breathes, it
is strong, it has built-in sun protection, it is
all but flameproof, and it absorbs dye deep
into its fibres which gives it a consistent and
deep colour. In recent years, wool fabrics
have made a strong comeback as more and
more people want to go back to natural
materials with a genuine feel.

im Bailey is at one of the


very first stations in the
mills production line,
standing between pots of
pigment, large dyeing vats
and sacks of wool. He is holding a handful
of raw wool and again we can see the typical
movement of those in the industry, he is
rubbing his forefinger and thumb together.
He rubs the woollen fibres back and forth

for a long moment.


All wool is different. It depends on the
breed of the sheep, where they have been
raised and what the weather has been like.
So even if we have recipes and formulas for
how we colour wool and how much pigment
we need, we have to adjust them according
to what kind of wool we are dealing with. I
have to feel it to know what to do with it.
Out in the little village street, in front
of the blackened, once coal-fired, Victo
rian brick building, purchasers from the
worlds fashion houses are queuing, at least
figuratively speaking, to get their hands
on the exclusive wool fabrics to top their
collections with.
Abraham Moon & Sons has a customer
list that includes major international brands
such as Ralph Lauren, Paul Smith, Moncler,
Burberry and Brooks Brothers. And Fjllrven

Abraham Moon & Sons

It is the tiny imperfections


and irregularities that
give life to a fabric.

Tradition is found in the machinery and


production processes, but also in the hands of
the personnel.

Wool natures super fibre:


1. It breathes.
As a contrast to many synthetic materials, wool
warms straight away, and it adapts itself so it warms
in the winter and cools in the summer.
2. Water repellent.
Wool fibres repel moisture and water, which means
they will not rot or mould.
3. Colourable.
Wool has an excellent ability to absorb pigment,
which means it can be dyed any colour.
4. Flexible and elastic.
Wool fibres can be bent 20 000 times without
breaking. The material returns to its original shape
without creasing.
5. Flameproof.
Thanks to its high levels of water and nitrogen,
wool is so hard to ignite that it is used in fire safety
clothing.

of course, where their wool fabrics are used


in our Numbers collection.
We want to use the best wool fabrics we
can get hold of for our Numbers garments. So
Abraham Moon & Sons is the obvious choice.
Their skilled craftsmanship together with
their old machines, where not every stroke
is exact and precise, gives us fabrics with life
in them. Completely perfect fabrics made
by computerised equipment dont have that
living feel. It is the tiny imperfections and
irregularities that give life to a fabric, says
Fjllrvens designer Thomas Hkansson, at
the same time as he shows us the difference
by yes rubbing his forefinger and thumb
together.

n many ways, a tour of Abraham


Moon & Sons premises is like visi
ting a museum of industrial history.
They havent changed their methods
since the industrial revolution, or at
least not since they founded the company

56

in 1837. Sure, a few processes have been


mechanised, but even in these cases there
is always a person standing behind the
machine. Some methods might feel rather
old-fashioned, but they have been tried and
tested over the decades and have shown to
be the best and most efficient.
Kevin Simpson empties two large sacks
of dyed wool, one yellow and one blue, and
lets it get sucked up a large tube. It is trans
ported up to the top of an eight-metre-high
silo-like room. From the ceiling, the wool
drifts down to the floor and in this process
the two colours are combined.
This is actually quite a new method.
Its about 50 years old I think. Before this
we put the wool on the floor and mixed it
by hand, but this gives us a more even mix
of the colours. Mixing more colours gives
the yarn a deeper and richer hue.
A good example of this is the yarn used
in the apparently green fabric for the trousers
in Fjllrvens Numbers collection. It is

actually made from five different colours


of wool fibres spun together.
The reason why the wool fabrics that
many think are the best in the world come
from a humble little village outside Leeds
was initially to do with water and transport.
Guiseley is located between the Aire and
Wharfe rivers that are known for their soft
water that is perfect for wool production.
Then, at the same time as the mill started
manufacturing wool, a new railway line
was built directly behind it.
In the beginning, Abraham Moon
bought washed and carded wool from the
surrounding farms, which he then sold at
the markets in Leeds. In 1868 he built a
three-storied mill on Netherfield Road, the
same address as todays mill, and began
large-scale wool production. But the story
could have had a different ending when
Abraham Moon was tragically killed in
a horse-and-cart accident in 1877. His son
Isaac, however, took over the mill, which

almost went under in 1902 after it burnt


down in a fire. Soon after, England found
itself fighting in World War I, which
paradoxically enough was good news for
the survival of the mill the British Army
and Navy needed durable woollen uniforms
for the young men who were going off to
war. In 1930, the Moon family sold the
business to designer and wool producer
Charles H Walsh. Today, almost a century
later, Abraham Moon & Sons is still enti
rely owned by the Walsh family, and now
forth-generation John Walsh is both primary
shareholder and CEO.

radition isnt only found


in the machinery and pro
duction processes, it is just
as much in the hands of
the people who work here.
Dyeing master Tim Bailey has been mixing
pigments for 28 years, and spinner Peter
Foster, 72, should have retired many years

ago but his knowledge is still needed. Silvia


Schofield peddles out metre after metre of
tweed and checks its quality constantly with
both her eyes and her fingertips. She has
been doing this since she left school about
40 years ago. And before her, her mother
Beatrice did the same from 1960 until she
retired in 1985.
But even if production methods have
been modernised and trends have come and
gone it is the considerable cloth archive that
is one of the mills greatest assets, along
with the personnel. In principle, samples
from all designs and fabrics produced have
been saved since the late 1800s and it is no
problem for Burberry, for example, to place
an order for a fabric that looks and feels like
one made more than 100 years ago. One
of the oddest orders received so far came
from Ralph Lauren, where one of their
designers had found an old tweed jacket
from the 1930s in a second-hand store that
he wanted reproduced. Abraham Moon &

Sons managed to produce an exact copy


of the fabric and it is now used in modern
collections.
Authenticity and craftsmanship are
becoming more and more important. In
these times of synthetic materials and printed
patterns, there are many people who want
to go back to traditional craftsmanship.
Something that might look the same at a
distance as something that is mass produced
has an entirely different feel when you rub it
between your fingers, says Martin Aveyard.
Thomas Hkansson continues:
When we created Fjllrven Num
bers it was important that we used real
materials, not just materials that looked
real. And these wool fabrics with all their
interwoven tradition and craftsmanship
are undeniably real.

A shirt is just as
useful in town as
it is in the countryside at the
weekend. When we make
shirts, we focus on durability,
functionality and timeless
ness.
Tell us about the classic

With the vik Shirt
we have created a timeless
garment where we focus on
checks and fit. We have two
fits depending on how the
shirt is to be used, Regular or
Comfort Fit. A good checked
pattern can catch the eye and
be the reason why someone
buys a shirt. That is what you
see first and you often follow
your heart when buying
clothes.
Tell us about the process of creating a shirt.
We test all our shirts
carefully out in the field to
make sure we have chosen the
right materials. Both when
trekking and in everyday life.
We then make improvements
on the garment based on the
feedback we receive from our
test team.
Why is a shirt the perfect trekking garment?
You can roll up the sleeves
of a shirt and open it up for
ventilation. Almost all our
shirts have the feature that
you can secure rolled up
sleeves in place. But it is also
important that shirts used
for trekking are made from
fast-drying fabric and that
they protect their wearer from
the suns dangerous rays.

with smart features that continue
to be appreciated by outdoor enthusiasts
several decades after they revolutioni

reenland series
is unique in this respect as it was the
f irst chapter in the story of Fjllrvens
outdoor clothing.
It all started with a Scandinavian clim
bing expedition to Greenland in 1966, for
which Fjllrven supplied tents and back
packs. When the participants returned home
they were not happy with how the outdoor
clothing of the times functioned. How could
68

better clothing be developed? Based on the


ideas of these alpinists, Fjllrvens founder
ke Nordin developed a climbing jacket. It
was to be flexible, durable, weather resistant
and fast drying. He used a piece of tent fabric
and waxed it with beeswax and paraffin to
make the jacket more waterproof.
The Greenland Jacket was launched in
1968 and with its smart features it quickly
became very popular among climbers.
Today it is an icon that has been joined by
trousers, backpacks, bags and shirts. All
Greenland products are made from our
functional material G-1000.

Henrik Andersson, Head of Innovation


and Design at Fjllrven

Greenland was the


start of Fjllrvens collection of outdoor
garments and right from the
beginning it set the standard
when it comes to durability
and functionality. Ever since
its launch it has in a way been
the very basis of our collec
tion. Today many people
are still using their Greenland
Jackets that were made back in
the 1960s and 70s, which is
living proof of the versatility
and longevity of both the
design and materials used.
Why is the Greenland
Jacket such a timeless
garment?
It is because the jackets
design is totally based on
function. There are no frilly
or unnecessary details. I really
like the hand pockets. The
pockets with flaps keep things
in place and the pockets
behind them work as wind
protectors for cold hands.
How does the Greenland series inspire your
work with design and
product development at
Fjllrven?
When we develop new
products, such as backpacks,
tents, clothing etc., we always
have the same basic philos
ophy as when the Greenland
Jacket was first developed.
We base our designs on the
demands and challenges of
outdoor life and create prod
ucts that are as functional and
durable as possible. We know
that we have succeeded when
a product is still being used
and loved after 10 or 20 years.

The smell of summer forests or
crisp winter air with a backpack
on your back. For many Swedes
who grew up in the 1980s, Knken is a vivid
childhood memory.
But why did an entire generation sud
denly start using Fjllrvens charming
little backpack?
At the end of the 1970s, new statistics
showed that close to 80% of the Swedish
population had at some point experienced
back pain, and the problem was becoming
apparent in increasingly younger age groups.
One of the reasons behind this, according to
the experts, was the popularity of shoulder
bags at the time. If you could shift the
weight of schoolbooks from one shoulder
to both, back problems would hopefully be

alleviated. One person who followed this


debate in Sweden with great interest was
Fjllrvens founder ke Nordin. Ten years
earlier he had revolutionised the climbing
world by creating the Greenland Jacket.
Now it was time again.
Together with the Swedish Scouting
Association he designed an affordable and
functional backpack with plenty of space
for school books and binders. The weight
of the backpack was evenly distributed
over both shoulders and back problems
in Sweden decreased.
The backpack Knken was launched
in August 1978. Today, it is a classic that
is used all over the world. The original is
still going strong and we have added new
models to the range over the years. Have
a look below.

Every morning they meet for breakfast
in a tepee a stones throw away from the
preschool. In the middle of the tepee is a
fireplace and there is plenty of room around
it for the children. There is a schedule on the

and Swedish. But most of the childrens time
is spent outside the tepee.
We are at the outdoor preschool named
Myggan in Kiruna. Outdoor preschools and
schools are run by the Swedish Outdoor Association, and the idea is that children spend
their everyday life outdoors where all of their
learning and development takes place. This
year, the Outdoor School is celebrating 30
years and there are more than 200 schools
and preschools operating in Sweden today.
They write in their programme: Children
who get the chance to get out into nature
learn to appreciate and take care of their

for sustainable development in practice.
At the same time as the parent organisa
tion is turning 30, the cooperative preschool
Myggan in Kiruna is turning 20.
It is very close to my heart that so
many children have been schooled in an
outdoor and environmentally conscious
manner through our outdoor schools. Here
at Myggan preschool we have spent 20 years
giving children lovely memories they will
have throughout their lives, says Kerstin
Andersson, CEO for the Swedish Outdoor
Associations Outdoor Schools Development.
Since 2013, Fjllrven has supported the
Outdoor Schools by, among other things,
offering discounted prices on outdoor clothing
to teachers. Some of the children at the
preschools have also helped test different
items of clothing; these outdoor schools are
the perfect test environment for us when we
are developing the Fjllrven kids collection.
We are so pleased that Fjllrven
supports our outdoor schools. The vast
majority of our time is spent outdoors so
we need really good outdoor clothing, says
Kerstin Andersson.

perhaps the most personal. It is your body
that decides whether the carrying system
works well for you. How and where you
go trekking and which outdoor activities

creating better carrying systems and for

developed bags and compact backpacks for
everyday adventures.

When producing a fleece sweater, wool


sweater or other mid layer garment, we
continue a proud tradition of developing
clothing that functions in the great outdoors.
And its not just about retaining heat, its
also the details that allow a fleece sweater,
for example, to withstand the abrasion of
carrying a backpack or be well ventilated.
Functional, durable materials are the ones

that retain their shape, wash after wash,


adventure after adventure. And of course,
style and quality of workmanship are
important factors as well.
Many things contribute to making a
sweater a favourite sweater we hope that
you will find your next outdoor favourite
here.

Up to 160 metres of sewing thread can


be used on a single Fjllrven shirt!
This is because the seams at the sides
and on the pockets are double and triple
stitched to ensure that the shirt will last
for many years of active use.
Materials are also carefully selec
ted to ensure that they can withstand
abrasion and repeated washing, be
comfortable to wear and easy to take
care of. Practical pockets, ventilation
holes and buttons that keep rolled-up
sleeves in place are other examples of
details that make our shirts so highly
appreciated.

Trousers with a long life

Of all the clothing that fills a wardrobe of


outdoor wear, it is usually the trousers that
have the most stories to tell. Worn knees
and shiny-with-use buttons bear witness to
extended adventures along trekking routes
in the mountains and forests.

Our first outdoor trousers were released in


1970 and since then we have worked to refine
the cuts, details and materials used so you
can enjoy the outdoors in all its changing
forms. Fjllrven trousers are extremely
hard-wearing, comfortable to move in and

packed with smart features the pockets


are where you need them, and ventilation
holes and other practical details make life
easier when you are outdoors.

Barents Pro Trousers Many details and practical features


Mid waist that is higher at
the back so it sits comfortably
under a backpack.
Double leg pockets for com
passes, multitools and other
items needed close at hand.
Large leg pocket with
room for a map, and an
inside mesh phone pocket.

Practical axe pocket means


you are always ready for
serious woodland life.

Technical, pre-shaped knees


and rear for excellent freedom
of movement despite the
relatively slim fit.

Because all women are


not created equally we have
come up with a new fit for
our trousers.
Sara Wiland, Product Developer at Fjllrven

Curved fit

Comfortable fit for our favourite models

Women looking for comfortable outdoor trousers should check out


Curved Fit.
Curved Fit is designed for women who need a more accentuated
waist and a little extra width over the rear and thighs. This gives a more
comfortable pair of trousers that sits better on certain figures, without
being tight or having a gap at the back of the waist.
Curved Fit complements our traditional Regular and Comfort
fits. Popular trousers vik are now available in two womens versions;
vik Trousers W with a regular fit and vik Trousers Curved W with a
curved fit. The same applies to trekking trousers Keb Trousers W and
Nikka Trousers W.

ACCESSOries
We make hats and beanies for all sea
sons and climates and we also have gloves,
though primarily in our Hunting collection.
The headgear range features warm knitted
beanies, wind-protecting caps and insulated
hats for winter excursions in the bitter
cold. There are lighter beanies, caps and
headbands for the warmer seasons too.

We also have hats and caps in ventilated


and quick-drying material such as MT and
G-1000. They protect against the sun during
outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing,
hunting and fishing, and are also suitable
when travelling in warmer countries.

AT NATURE'S SERVICE
FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS
1968 Greenland Jacket
Fjllrvens first jacket is developed in coo
peration with members of the Greenland
expedition. The jacket is made from a du
rable fabric that is too heavy for Fjllrvens
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
ke Nordin starts Fjllrven in a basement in rnskldsvik. 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. Fjllrvens tents
and backpacks are used and lauded
by members of the expedition.

1964 Termo Tent


The first condensation-free tent is in
troduced. 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-ke Sjman 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


Fjllrvens first trousers quick
ly 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,
Fjllrven develops its first specially
designed travel garments.

1976 Canada Shirt


Fjllrvens 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 Fjllrven Weeks


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

1970

1980
1974 Expedition Down
ke 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, Fjllrvens Arctic sleeping
bag was already being used on ex
peditions 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 Fjllrven Extreme


Marathon (F.E.M.)
Swedens 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 Bjrkliden and later in re.

1975 Gyro Frame


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

2005 ke as a role model


1,300 of Swedens most experienced
business executives select ke 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
Angerbjrn is initiated to save
the endangered Scandinavian
arctic fox. The Save the Arctic
Fox project is still active today.

1990

1978 Knken
Created to prevent back problems in
school children, Knken has become
an iconic example of Swedish design.
In 2008 Knken becomes the first
climate compensated backpack in
the world.

1989 Silhuett
Fjllrven studies the bodys
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 com
plete set for mountain trek
