We’re out and about in the Norwegian outdoors all year round and in all kinds of weather. And after too many perfect moments ruined by base wear that got sweaty, wet and cold, and failing to find anything better, we decided to do something about it – so we just made it ourselves. Fortunately, we had an old sewing machine in the closet. We watched a few YouTube sewing courses and a few nights later the first Zipbody and Ziplongs were more than a dream. Zipwear was born! At last, we had some functional clothing that let us enjoy the outdoors to the fullest.
