Scandinavian outdoor weather brands:

• Polarn o Pyret (they even have clothes in sections by layers 1, 2, 3)
• Scandinavian Outdoor
• Didriksons
• Out North - sells Scandinavian outdoor brands
• North American brands: Columbia or Patagonia (but Linda notes that she hasn't found any North American brands that have the same high quality as Scandinavian brands when it comes to kids clothes)

"friluftsliv" - "roughly translates to 'open-air life' and is used to describe a culture and a way of life that heavily revolve around exploring and enjoying nature in a noncompetitive fashion" (that's a quote from There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather.)
