The Bergans Antarctic Expedition jacket was designed and tested for the worlds harshest Polar environments. Windproof and water-repellant, the jacket keeps you protected, while offering greater breathability than a fully membraned jacket. This is essential in cold climates where a build up of moisture can be very problematic.

Everything about the jacket has been designed for ease of use. Strong zips, with easy motion, mean there is no energy wasted fighting to open and close them. Long pull tabs mean zips can be operated with Mitts on, and under arm vents help to ventilate when warm.

The Microfiber material means the jacket is also softer and more quiet than other jackets.

The Aenergy IN Shorts Men are insulating shorts for an extra layer on cold ski touring days and/or for downhill skiing. Thanks to the zippers on the sides, which are continuous from top to bottom, it is easy to quickly pull on the shorts over ski tour pants at the summit. So the pants provide protection against wind and cold conditions that extends to over the knee. Stretch inserts provide more freedom of movement. The Aenergy IN Shorts Men impress with their lightness and high-quality materials, which include Pertex Quantum and Primaloft. Practical: If needed, the pants can be packed away in the integrated pocket.

A very useful bit of kit. We are also carrying them for expedition teams to use instead of a Down Skirt, to give additional warmth on cold days. They are so simple to put on over your salopettes or shell layer, making them super flexible.

Keeping your feet warm plays an important role in maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the rest of your body. Cold weather camping can be fun if you are warm, but it can also be a miserable experience for those who are unprepared. One of the best ways to maintain comfort in cold weather is to insure that your feet always stay warm and dry. Our lightweight compressible down booties will provide all the warmth and comfort to keep you smiling long after the temperatures drop. Down booties are made for the outdoors, but they are also perfect for anyone with poor circulation or cold feet and it is not surprising that many people wear them at home.

Our Expedition booties add an extra measure of protection against the elements for more severe winter conditions. The Gore Windstopper fabric extends well above the insulation providing full-gaiter protection against the elements. Other features like the additional foam insulation in the heel make this bootie a perfect choice for winter camping or expeditions.

A NEW and EXCITING member of the Asnes Ski Family. This could very well become the gold standard for expedition skis.

Delivery 7-10 Days.

 Børge Ousland BC is a very light and versatile ski that fits down cross country tracks. A ski with a solid steel edge (2.1x1.9 mm) and a very lightweight wooden core, which is equally suitable for long trips and expeditions with pulk, as for days in hard and icy ski tracks. Because we use same steel edge on our mountain skis as is used on most alpine skis, we can guarantee good edge control on all conditions and high-level durability. This ski has a prominent camber profile which stetches in the length of the ski and a distinctive wax pocket, something which makes for an excellent ski for trips where good glide is essential. This ski also comes with a sole that has good wax absorption, is very durable and grinded to work in Nordic conditions– perfect for long outings in Nordic and Polar snow conditions.

Ousland BC ski has a moderate side cut so that the ski is directional, but also turns easily on hard snow. A soft front tip with the Nordic Rocker (lifted tip) and Taper (secluded widest point on the tip) makes for a ski that handle difficult conditions in the mountains well and floats more easily. This ski has a light wooden core in poplar and paulownia, which gives a playful, solid ski with good camber and very low weight. Børge Ousland BC weighs only just over 800 grams per ski in 200 cm length - then there is none bordering on how long and long you can ski!

The longitudinal stiffener and the construction of the Børge Ousland BC ski has good bearing capacity. This ski has been developed in close cooperation with the polar explorer, Børge Ousland, known as one of the most reputable adventures in modern polar history. Børge Ousland was the first man to reach the North Pole without supplies and support in 1990 together with Erling Kagge. In 1994 he went alone to the North Pole and on to Kapp Arkichevsky in Russia, the first in the world, and in 1996/1997 he was the first in the world to cross in and out of the South Pole without supplies, which also was the fastest entry into the South Pole in just 34 days. Since then, Børge Ousland has been at the North Pole during the winter and made several remarkable expeditions before in later years have lived of lectures, as an expedition organizer and on the island Manshausen in Steigen. We are proud to be able to work with Børge Ousland and we look forward to further cooperation and think it is great that we can benefit from his stories and advice.

AMUNDSEN BC SKINLOCK - The choice of Expeditions to the Poles, Greenland and most cold inhospitable places! In our experience, it's the best balance between robustness, weight, tracking and floatation for those hauling sleds for days on end.

Special Order: 8-14 Days

Amundsen BC is a ski for the long mountain trek. With a full steel edge and a prominent wax pocket for a lasting grip, it is stiff and reassuringly stable – perfect for longer excursions and expeditions with the weight of a backpack or sled.

All Åsnes skis are compatible with the new X-Skin. So although the Amundsen BC is narrow enough for groomed tracks, a climbing skin can be attached in an instant when it is time for that long mountain ascent.

Roald Amundsen (1872–1928), the first man to reach both the South and North Poles, was a polar explorer, discoverer, researcher and flight pioneer. He navigated the Northwest Passage and was a pioneer in the use of airships and planes in polar research.
