Test days with Aspliden Anorak

Anorak for summer and winter
1600 meters above sea level, strong wind, few plus degrees and drizzle. Good conditions for tests in other words. After today's hike with our new anorak, we can find that we have created something really good and different. An anorak for both summer and winter (you regulate yourself with the stock principle under the jacket) also an incredibly stylish jacket!
On site in Arjeplogsfjällen we flew up on mountains called Tjidtjak. We landed just below the mountain's top of about 1600 meters. A barren place where neither plants nor animals enjoy particularly well, a kind of lunar landscape on earth. From the top we took a day trip down to the tree line where we camped and provided ourselves with lunch, where we could go through the functional skills of the jacket.
A different anorak
The fact that we endeavor to design an anorak as the market is almost saturated with jackets is that we see a need for an anorak that is durable for real, useful for more than one thing, and also a little different to the look. The jacket is supposed to hold for practical use. Imagine that you go towards a dry branch in the forest or through deep strings, with a lightweight jacket, tears will arise fairly quickly. But here you brush off, unnoticed on the jacket and move on. Or maybe you should pick up firewood into the stove. Stack a pile of firewood against the chest without having to worry about the jacket being broken.
Open the jacket and use as a sleeping pad.
