The gear in this trip was very similar to that in previous Norway visits but the conditions were somewhat different. In 2025 and along the divide, it was colder, windier and drier than anytime else. Gear performance is entirely dependent on the working conditions so there are still a few notes worthy of comment.

Shelter – Locus Gear Khufu
The wind performance in a tent is a coveted test that I’ll try my best to not go through. No matter how exposed the place is, and the hiking grounds in the Norwegian mountains tend to be very exposed, there’s always some mitigation possible and I’d apply every measure I could to minimize wind impact. Trip safety is first, gear wellbeing is second and test reporting would only be third.
