Klättermusen Launches ‘Go Feel Wild ’ Nordic Folklore, Modern Movement

They’re etched into our minds, the old folklore told for generations by our Scandinavian ancestors. Stories of wanderers being lured into the forest by mythical beings, lost and never to be found again. Equally scary, as they are alluring. Tales with the purpose to keep us on our toes, to be respectful of nature and to prevent us from just wandering off unprepared into the wilderness.

 For Spring/Summer 2026, Klättermusen takes these tales and belief systems, and translates them into modern movement. The collection is built around a single instinct: to go feel, rather than explain. Across the season, Klättermusen explores what it means to belong to nature instead of performing in it. Not as a backdrop, not as an opponent or stage for achievement, but as something you move through, listen to and become a part of.

 The season is introduced by a short film, aimed to capture these old belief systems in a modern setting. The essence of Näcken, a water spirit that lures people into rivers and lakes with a spellbinding melody played from his fiddle. The seductive Skogsrå, a forest nymph that leads wanderers astray. And the enigmatic Vittror, that watches our every step from their parallel world among us, making sure we respect nature and its inhabitants. These are depicted not as fantasy or decoration, but rather as psychological echoes. It all ends with an enchanting Orrspel, the mating ritual of the black grouse that only happens at a specific marsh at dawn. A natural phenomenon that exists at the intersection where myth meets reality.

The lightweight, durable and versatile nature of Klättermusen’s products, are reflected through the Go Feel Wild collection, built for multi-day movement and changing conditions. Key products for the season is the new Vide backpack 30L offers full weather protection and a roll-top construction, ideal for fast day hikes and lightweight multi-day treks. For insulation, the new Vili Hood jacket is Klättermusen’s lightest synthetically insulated jacket to date, using 20g G-Loft insulation to provide warmth during activity in milder conditions. And the classic Gere 3.0 pant, built for endurance and performance in challenging environments. Made from our durable Endurance Stretch Levitend fabric, its dense weave offers wind and mosquito resistance, while the polyamide-elastane blend ensures long-lasting durability.
