I hadn’t noticed before reading this thread that Rivendell carries Devold; I didn’t think that this brand was imported. I have a Devold wool top and a neck warmer from Norway that are very nice. It is the centennial of the Amundsen South Pole expedition and here is a translation of the role of Devold:
1911 - 2011 Amundsen and Devold at the South Pole 100 years ago. December 14, 2011 is the 100th anniversary of Roald Amundsen and his expedition reaching the North Pole. This feat made Amundsen one of history's most famous polar explorers. ........ To survive in the extreme climate, expedition members were also dependent on proper clothing. In 1911, Devold had produced warm clothing made of wool for over 50 years, and was a well-known supplier of durable wool. As Nansen had done before him, for the crossing of Greenland, Amundsen also chose wool from Devold for his expedition. We are proud to have been part of this event. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
