Norwegian Army Jumper

[Wayland]

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a Norwegian Army Jumper like this?

My Google Fu is just not cutting it today. All the suppliers I have found so far are out in the colonies.

Surely there must be somewhere I can get one on this side of the pond.

That's makes it £18.60 plus delivery.
Good price I'd say.

Looks pretty good if I can just work out how to get through the ordering process in Norwegian.

Nice find but not quite what I'm after.

The Norwegian jumper is a bit of a beast but seriously good.

As far as I can tell it will cost about £35 all in from Norway unless I can get it cheaper.

Do we have any Norwegians on the boards?

 

[Wayland]

We have a few and I am hoping some of them see this thread.

There should be a red 'VIKINGS! ASSEMBLE!' button on the forum.

google translate did a pretty good job of the page in english when I looked at it, problem is you will have to plug in every page of the payment process, which may take a while.

You probably know about this but just in case....

Well, I am by no means Norwegian, but Swedish, and our respective languages are as close as two languages can be, I guess.

The jumper - "Genser" in Norwegian has previously been used and cost 150 NOK, which I think is about 15 pound (corrected a simple math error).

You have to choose size (storrelse): small (liten), medium or large (stor).

Then:
click the green button "Kjop" which means "Buy".
check the box and click the green button "Gå til kassen" which means "go to the cashier".

Thank you, that will be very helpful.

Seems like Holme beat me to it.

But if you should have trouble getting hold of one from Forsvarsbrukt (price isn`t bad if it is in good condition) I could check the local surplus shop and see if they have them for a reasonable price.
Traded one with a friend from the US last year.

These sweathers are getting harder to come by nowadays. Seems like fleece is in fashion these days, even in the army.
Earlier you could buy them in most sporting goods stores.

This is a thicker, better quality jumper than the Norwegian
( that is not a slur on the Norgi, which I also have and love, it is just a fact ! )
I bought mine from Woody on the last BcUK Arctic trip, it may be worth a pm to him, I think he has a source.
Hope this helps.

That (Waylands first post) was the Jumper woody had on all through our course in 2007. He never complained..mind he's not really going to lol.

 

[Chris the Cat]

It worked well for me up there too addo , but have you seen those Austrian beasts ?
At least double the weight and thickness !
A great ' plan B ' and by far the warmest jumper I have ever used.
My best.
Chris.

Hmmm... Sounds like it might be worth giving the Austrian one a try first and maybe getting a Norwegian one while out on the course next year then.

Gailainne wears one quite a bit in the colder months, not sure where he got it though, might be worth a PM to him.

I've seen them somewhere online recently but can't think where it was.

I think there was a group buy of the Austrian jumper organised on here a little while back. Could be worth re-visiting for details.Apparently they weigh something like 1200g!!
