It was an incredible journey in one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever traveled to. Lisa and my road-trip through Norway was absolutely eye-opening. Even though I grew up in Germany, I had never made it up to Scandinavia before, and had but a vague idea of what it had to offer. After experiencing two fantastic cities — Stockholm and Copenhagen — we then ventured to the north, all our bags in one car, and spent every night in a different place.

Now, Norway is not particularly known for it’s sunny days, so it makes a lot of sense that an awesome “rain- and waterwear” brand such as SWIMS would originate there. We decided to make use of that fact, and kept it real with SWIMS gear in Norway 🙂 While they are probably most known for their galoshes, they now also make a variety of pieces that go beyond just that, such as water-friendly sneakers (mine even glow in the dark … “whoaaaa …” <- that’s the voice of the boy inside me) and this phenomenal touring jacket. Super slim fit, and a beautiful color that becomes quite vibrant in direct sunlight, but also reflects the mood of gloomy days without it.
