Hestra is a glove company with a long history.
The family business Martin Magnusson & Co was founded in 1936 and is run today by the third and fourth generation Magnusson. Design and development takes place at the head office in the Småland town of Hestra, Sweden.

The gloves are manufactured in our own factories and we buy the leather, fabric, lining and other materials ourselves. We thus have good control over the production chain and can ensure high quality. Several of the company's models are also made by hand by Europe's most experienced glove makers.

Lundhags - Mad about nature since 1932. Lundhags was founded by Jonas Lundhag in 1932 on Frösön in Jämtland. He was a shoemaker and had a vision to make really nice boots, adapted to our Swedish mountain environment and that would last a lifetime - preferably longer. We have carried on Jonas' legacy and today Lundhags manufactures and develops boots, clothing and backpacks for hiking and outdoor life, based on the same vision that Jonas once had.

Our purpose is to engage people to live a sustainable life in nature and make nature possible for more people. We do this by inspiring and offering durable, durable products that last a long time and can be repaired. Our products are developed for skiing expeditions as well as long hikes, all year round. At the beginning of 2023, we launched our new lightweight backpacks with a focus on carrying comfort – it should be easy to carry heavy. And far. 

Drytech is based in Tromsø, north of the Arctic Circle, in Norway. The REAL Turmat meals (also known as REAL Expediton Meals) are made mostly from fresh natural Norwegian ingredients and are carefully freeze-dried.

STF is a non-profit membership association that works to ensure that everyone has access to Sweden's nature and culture, today and in the future. This requires, among other things, better opportunities for sustainable tourism, good accommodation around the country, that we guard the rights of all people and, not least, inspiration and guidance for new adventures.

The great thing about Sweden is that there is always more to discover, and our work never ends. Every year we arrange thousands of courses and activities at our facilities, and in the association's many local branches. Our goal is to be a clear voice for important environmental issues. We protect the Swedish environment, and want it to remain for future generations. Where the road ends, those who want to discover more should be able to continue forward.

Topo Athletic was founded in 2013 by Tony Post, but the story really began 40 years earlier, on a running track in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Born and raised in Colorado, Tony went on to attend college in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he joined the athletics team which sparked his passion for running. He had the ambition to always train harder and run faster. Unfortunately, his running career was marred by injuries, overtraining, and poor running shoes. Like many other runners, he began working in the shoe industry and started learning everything he could about making shoes.

After nearly 30 years in the industry, Tony knew something was missing from the market –va shoe that allowed runners to enjoy the benefits of Natural Running while maintaining the best parts of a traditional running shoe. With the goal of delivering the absolute best Natural Running shoes on the market, he started his own shoe brand. This is today Topo Athletic. Founded with common sense, simplicity, comfort, for runners seeking a more natural running experience.

Calazo Förlag publishes guidebooks, instruction books and maps for various types of outdoor activities.

We are the only one in the country to have as a business idea selling books and maps in outdoor shops.

Since 2010, we have been publishing mountain maps and terrain maps on the fantastic material tyvek. Tyvek is completely insensitive to water, incredibly durable and resistant to all types of wear and tear. In the comparisons we have made between different materials, we have concluded that tyvek is preferable. Out on tour, it's the smoothest of all the materials available and holds the color in the folds better than anything else we've tried.

There are many preconceived and incorrect opinions about mountain sledges and pulkas and our vision is to change them! We see many people who use sleds that are too small and too narrow, resulting in sleds with a high center of gravity that easily overturn and dig in. That's why we created Jemtlander - a sled system for stable, safe and easily packed transport in the wilderness!

Jemtlander is a Swedish product. Most of it is manufactured and developed in Jämtland, close to the mountains and large forest areas. Included components are supplied by companies in or near Östersund, except for some parts that are bought in from nearby regions.

Since its inception in 1995, Utsidan has been the largest digital meeting place for outdoor enthusiasts. Discover our articles, discuss in forums, share photos and tracks, read and write reviews for equipment, or buy/sell used.

On Utsidan, you can also find all the routes of the White and Green Ribbons from many years ago. Follow your friends, or plan your own route by studying other people's routes.
