The five winners of the Scandinavian Outdoor Award for autumn-winter 2023 have been announced, with the top accolade going to Norway-based Alfa for technical boot Stad (pictured). 

Alfa uses wool from Norwegian sheep, woven to give better tear resistance than more commonly used felted wool. It uses nubuck as reinforcement and a Vibram Megagrip sole for traction in winter.

The Sustainability Award was won by Sweden’s Silva for its new Terra Scout, a headlamp made from hemp instead of plastic.
