VERSATILE CLOTHES
One of those who has become excited about Tufte is Stine Næss-Hartmann – fitness instructor, running enthusiast and influencer, and our own Tufte ambassador.
- For me, Tufte is an incredibly versatile brand. You have extremely cool hiking clothes that are suitable for all kinds of weather, whether it's a trip in the mountains, in the forest or just in your local area, says Hartmann, who is an official Tufte ambassador. - For example , the singlet in 95% SoftBoost™ is incredibly soft, and fits perfectly under a sweater when you're on a trip, but also as a party top if you're going out on the town, she laughs. The active woman recently became a mother for the first time, so city trips are less of a thing at the moment. Thus, Tufte has become a large part of the new everyday life.
- I have become a "troller" and take x number of trips with the little one every day. Then it's absolutely golden to have clothes that keep you dry and warm in unstable summer weather like we have in Norway. I would like to highlight the Willow softshell series with hiking trousers and jacket. They are absolutely beautiful and wonderfully comfortable to walk in. Absolutely perfect for days when it suddenly starts to drip when you are out for a walk, says Hartmann.
The Willow series also consists of shorts, hiking trousers and zip-off trousers.
Another person who has also caught Tufte's eye is rower Martin Helseth. This summer he should have participated in the Olympic Games in Tokyo with the boss himself, Olaf Tufte, but the championship has been postponed until next year as a result of the coronavirus. Competition has therefore been replaced by training sessions in the home town of Ålesund. Then it's good to have warm clothes.
- It is absolutely golden to have something that keeps you warm - and Tufte does that, says Helseth. Roeren, like Hartmann, is an ambassador for Tufte and has tested most of the collection. He often uses products from the Tuftes Hazel series , especially hiking trousers and jackets. The series also consists of an anorak and hiking shorts in organic cotton.
- I use the clothes a lot in connection with training, especially to keep warm between sessions. Otherwise there will be mountain hikes and then Tufte is perfect. I have used the hiking pants a lot. They are incredibly comfortable. - Otherwise, I always have Bambull® wool underwear inside when I'm out on a trip, says Helseth. - The products are of extremely high quality, and you can use them again and again without them getting worn out. In addition, there is a great focus on the environment and sustainability at Tufte, which is very important to me, he adds.
The popular Willow series is also available for men and consists of hiking trousers, hiking jacket and hiking shorts in softshell. This is technical hiking clothing with, among other things, ventilation for high activity.

MORE FAVORITES
Among other favourites, Helseth highlights the degradable Eco T-shirts. They are made from 80% organic cotton and 20% recycled cotton, without the use of harmful chemicals. This makes the T-shirts 100% degradable. After a few months in compost, it simply turns to soil. Not only are they incredibly good to wear and look stylish, the fact that they are degradable makes them extra cool. You can use them with a clear conscience, says Helseth.
Næss-Hartmann has been a Tufte ambassador for over a year and has been able to use most of the collection. When we ask for one favourite, it's rather a flurry of rams - socks with a rainbow pattern and comfortable hats in a range of colours. Still, there is one favorite the influencer swears by when she goes out on a trip.
– Woolen underwear Bambull® . It's absolutely fantastic. I use it both on mountain trips, cool summer days and power-walks. You don't have to worry about getting cold when you're outdoors with Bambull®.
Bambull® is a two-layer garment with merino wool on the outside and bamboo viscose inside, it is incredibly soft and keeps you warm. The garments from Tufte i Bambull® are made so that the skin never comes into direct contact with wool, so even people with sensitive skin can enjoy warm wool-based garments. If you're going to sleep outside in a hammock or tent this summer, Bambull® is perfect as a pillow if it suddenly gets a little chilly.
