The Peak Anorak was Amundsen's first anorak and has been perfected over several years. It was originally made for the Antarctic Expedition in 2011 and got its name after it protected the team during the first ascent of Amundsen Peak. 

With the combination of stretch, waterproofing and breathability it means that it is perfect for ski touring and expeditions as it gives you full protection and the comfort you need for these adventures. 

This anorak is also part of “The 3-Part Formula” which is a new and different concept for dressing up for the peak ride, skiing or mountain trip. 3-Part is an integrated system of anoraks / jackets, knickerbockers and gaiters. The concept came as a direct result of the entrepreneurs own expedition to Antarctica in 2011, where the clothes and the concept were tested in their proper element. The 3-Part Formula adapts to all weather conditions and provides extreme flexibility

Washing & Care

IN THE WARDROBE / AFTER USE

When you’re preparing winter clothes for storage, the most important thing to ensure is that they’re clean and dry. Wet or damp clothes will produce mold over the course of time and will make your gear stink, as well as affect the physical makeup and appearance of the item, too.

WASHING YOUR ITEMS

  • Machine wash at 40˚C (Ballroom series on 30˚C)
  • Close all zippers and velcro’s before putting the garment in the washing machine.
  • Do not bleach
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Dry cleaning
  • Very gently wet cleaning

WHEN DO I NEED TO DO THE REPROOFING?

To test if the DWR is still preforming you should sprinkling or spraying water on the shoulders, waist, and back. If the water beads up and rolls away, your jacket’s good for another round. If any water absorbs into the jacket or the color of the fabric changes, the DWR needs reproofing. The impregnation is reactivated at low heat and ready for new adventures. The chains of molecules of the fluorocarbon finish return to their original condition through the heat treatment generated by the ironing process. Water droplets or dirt particles then have a significantly smaller contact area on the fabric and this greatly reduces their adhesive strength. Water and dirt are once more repelled.

THE RESULTS OF REPROOFING

Over time, the water repellency will be worn away. This will take place especially in vulnerable places like the shoulders, elbows, seat, and knees. To optimize the product ́s abilities, it should be treated after each wash, or when the water repellency is not performing optimally. For water repellency treatments, we recommend the use of environmentally friendly water repellents. Spray treatment ensures that only the outer side of the garment will be water repellent, which optimizes the moisture transportation of the product.

 

REPROOFING STEP BY STEP

STEP 1

  • Wash your garment according to the care label
  • Close all zippers and velcro’s before putting the garment in the washing machine.
  • As a rule, it is essential not to use fabric softener since it will destroy the fabric over time.

STEP 2

  • Dry the jacket according to the care label, and then test the DWR by sprinkling or spraying water on the shoulders, waist, and back.

STEP 3

  • Iron on low heat (1 Point is recommended, without steam). It’s important to use a thin kitchen towel between the iron and the fabric during the ironing.
