Scandinavian clothing brands continue to surprise the fashion world with their stylish designs and the incredible quality of their products, and they also got our attention several weeks ago.
So we took a look at Norwegian, Swedish and Danish brands for some of their best and most renowned outdoor clothing and we must say, we were very impressed.
It’s time to look at their neighbor, one of the five Nordic countries, Finland, and go through some very interesting brands that caught our eye.
A quick look through our site will immediately show that our main focus is on jackets and as such, we picked brands that do provide jacket choices, even if not all of them are suitable for outdoor sports.
But they are warm and cozy, however. When it comes to warm jackets you can always rest assured that brands from countries where winter is harsh make some of the best designs, as we have seen in the previous selections of Scandinavian brands.
We picked 9 brands and each one of them adds something different to the mix as their clothing designs range from casual to more specialized outdoor ones.
A last word before we begin, these are all high-end brands, with well-made, quality products, which is why the prices are more on the expensive side, but of course, affordable options are also available.
Let’s take a look!

Because we mostly focus on jackets in our selections and reviews, we have to say that Makia’s jackets are the main reason why we decided to include the brand in this selection.
