Skalmo

We recently took the new Skalmo Octa Hoodie into the mountains around Skalmodal and Hattfjelldal—the place that inspired our name. It felt like the perfect place for its first real test.
The Octa 50 quickly became our favourite. Lightweight enough to wear all day, breathable enough for long climbs, and with a deep front zipper that made temperature regulation effortless whenever the trail got steeper.
Whether worn as an active midlayer or as a standalone hiking hoodie, it proved to be an incredibly versatile companion in the mountains.
Designed and sewn in Umeå, Sweden. Field tested in Skalmodal. Available now on Backpackinglight.se👍⭐

Visste du att namnet Skalmo kommer från Skalmodal i Västerbotten? Området är känt för sin unika atlantiska granskog, den vilda Vapstälven som rinner västerut mot Atlanten och sin starka koppling till samisk kultur och fjällnatur. 🏔️🌲
