WOLF’S FANG 2 TROLL
FOLLOW ROLAND AND LARS’ DREAM SKI ADVENTURE
This is the diary from of Roland and LArs’ dream of skiing among the stunning mountains, peaks, and glaciers of Queen Maud Land. As you will see from the postscripts at the bottom, it delivered more than they could have hoped for.
They didn’t bring any gadgets for sending text or photos back to us back home, so an Iridium call to Tove now and then was what we had to go on for this diary. But LArs added photos and a few more facts after they arrived home safely.
Enjoy!
Now, at Ousland Colliard, we're working to give you the chance to join us on the same trip and explore this unique part of Antarctica.
Saturday, 8 November
Lars and Roland were flown out in a Twin Otter toward Ulvetanna this afternoon. It became a frantic rush as the Ken Borek pilot, Kelsey, came over and said: ‘Either we fly you guys out in 2 hours, or it has to be sometime in the next week’… It was all hands on deck, and they made it. But it was not the structured, detailed packing they wanted.
The flight was stunning. You actually see Ulvetanna right away, and then it slowly grows and grows during the nearly 200km flight! It stands almost 1,5km straight up from the ice, so the dimensions here are difficult to imagine.
After the plane left them, they skied a couple of hours before camping in -40°C surrounded by the unreal Wolf’s Fang peaks. It was a brutal start, and they were relieved that the old skills came alive; they did no fumbles and even slept well!
Day 1–5
It has been an extremely brutal start since Saturday! The first camp was in -40°C, which tested their skills to the full. Luckily, the temperature rose to -30° the next morning with no wind at all. That made life very much easier as they got organised out of the first camp and the first exploratory hours in front of the sled. Unluckily, the wind picked up as they rounded out of the Wolf’s Fang cluster of peaks. But the temperature and the altitude made the snow insanely dry and slow, making pulling sleds very hard work – so generating heat was not a problem...
They knew the area west of Worl’s Fang was a possible crevassed area. They had tried to put in a safe route, but with low visibility, wind, and not yet tuned to reading the ‘mind of the ice’, the first couple of days became a real test. An extreme number of crevasses, combined with baby sastugies and snowdrifts, kept them more than honest with lots of small detours. It was very hard work, with very little margin for error balancing the cold, the safety, and progress But their spirits are good as they feel the teamwork and old skills & tricks have not faded with time. AND, the mountains and landscape are beyond their belief, though they have less progress than expected.
Lars calls Day 3 a crevasse hell: crevasses and holes on all sides, plus snowdrifts. But we made it through in a good way.”
Day 6 – Thursday, 13 November
ZeroSixZero: Best camp in the world. A camp with beautiful Trollslottet in the background. A very heavy day — crevasses, snowdrifts, and extremely dry snow.
It is impossible to take your judgments from home and implement them down there. All the time this stunning mountain shows up and you think it is right next to you – but then it takes a few days to get there. The air is so crystal clear, with no moisture, so it is impossible to judge distance. Soooo fascinating!
Ulvatanna and the amazing Wolf’s Fang peaks ‘refused’ to go away…
Day 7 – Friday, 14 November
ZeroSixZero: Sun, light breeze, 6 white birds (Snow Petrells). A dream campsite! “World’s most beautiful camp,” Lars recons. After another Ragnarok-like day with extremely dry snow, wind and snowdrifts, and crevasses! But when they approached camp, the wind calmed, and the weather became crystal clear!! Indescribably beautiful with a view of Trollslottet on one side and Ulvatanna still very visible to the east (see photo above).
Day 8 – Saturday, 15 November
ZeroSixZero: Good windy morning.
They have covered 10 km as the crow flies, and zigzagging down a great glacier fall: a good day and very satisfying. They are now on the other side of Gessnertind and beginning the next stage of the trip!
A bit of drama along the way: In the afternoon, Lars realized after arriving at camp that he had lost his InReach device. After tracking its location through the Novo base, he took the chance to leave camp in hopes of finding it. A 2-hour extra ski trip (without pulk) back over to and up the icefall he found it. At 21:30 he calls in, happily reporting it was recovered. The needle-in-the-haystack saying has gotten a polar version…
Day 9 – Sunday, 16 November
ZeroSixZero: Glorious morning. Beautiful, cold, hard, happy.
They have now traveled about 75 km, with around 200 km remaining. Sunny and cold. “Last night was completely still, no wind, and we thought it would be an easy parade-march day — but a chilly small catabatic wind arrived. We have been going up, up, up, so it’s been a very heavy day. But we’re pleased with the distance and everything overall. We have rounded the corner of Habermehltoppen, so now we’re entering a new area. Exciting times ahead.”
“We’re thinking we may spend one week in this area, one week around Tor Station, and one week towards Troll. But this may change.”
“The snow is still dry and slow, so the pulks still feel much heavier than we expected.” But they still live in the hope of moving faster and further – though they have fallen completely in love with the area.
Day 10 – Monday, 17 November
ZeroSixZero: Good morning from quite blustery Antarctica “What a day today. Right now the wind is absolutely insane here, but during the night it was calm and beautiful. The wind picked up in early morning and it was brutally cold. Delightes ourselves by easily taking down the tent and pcking up with ease but still braced ourselves for a terrible day. But suddenly the snow was exactly as we hoped as we could actually glide on our skis, and we made very good progress in the first part of the day, even with the biting wind and cold. At the end of the day, we encountered a massive sastrugi field. By far the worst we have experienced on this trip. Half-meter, dense sastrugi crisscrossing constantly. But we still set a new record with nearly 15 km. So very, very happy with the day. The mood was extremely high at dinner!
Lars also mentions it is stunningly beautiful and that they are functioning extremely well as a team. They do not need to talk; everything just gets done seamlessly. It just adds to this amazing adventure :-)
Day 11 – Tuesday, 18 November
“We woke up to a small storm and took down the tent in record time and started moving. Huge snowdrifts and completely hopeless conditions, but we hoped for the best. As it blew constantly hard so breaks were cut very short. But it was like walking on a floating carpet of drifting snow making the exoerience amazing. We managed to round the mountain Sagbladet. It is unbelievably beautiful. We are camped on one side of it, which looks like a dinosaur with spikes on its back. The most beautiful camp (again) so far!”
ZeroSixZero: Wildest, windiest day so far: 14 km! Rounded Sagbladet! “That the tent is still standing so well with single poles is just so impressive: 14–18 m/s, with 26m/s in the gusts!”
Day 12 – Wednesday, 19 November
ZeroSixZero: Morning: Quiet, some thin clouds.
“Today has been a brilliant day, we’ve worked well and had good pace. At the moment, we are located just north of Tor Station, resting by a cliff edge that we have to consider how to navigate later on. Tomorrow we will go through Plogskaftet, which we have thoroughly planned how to best cross, going through small islands in the ice: It will be both very exciting and beautiful.
Last evening the wind calmed down completely as we rounded the impressive Sagbladet Mountain, the sun is shining warmly, and we had yet another ‘most beautiful camp ever’ evening with Sagbladet towering over us and Snow Petrels visiting. We are anxious to see tomorrow’s forecast…

Day 13 – Thursday, 20 November
ZeroSixZero: Morning, windy and snowy
Every day is so different that it's almost impossible to imagine: Windy storm to complete calmness - to full whiteout in 3 days. Regardless, today we've managed to do 15 km, which we are very pleased about. Fortunately for us, the hills were easy to navigate with not too many cracks and crevasses, so we're delighted with where we are today. Now we've just passed the Tor station, a side station of Troll, which is only manned in December and January. We were unable to see it due to poor visibility.
Birdlife: Right behind Tor station, there is a bird mountain called Svarthamaren, housing the biggest colony of seabirds in Antarctica with 200,000 birds nesting. In the morning, we saw a large bird flying right over us in the direction of Tor station. It was an Arctic Skua, and late in the afternoon, it returned after what we recon was a feeding frenzy on nesting small birds. – It did this 2 days in a row! – As it even feeds on penguin chicks, Roland recorded that from a distance we look like 4 penguins moving over the ice. One standing, one on the belly, one standing, and again one on the belly. It looked miffed when it saw the much more unlikely sight of skiers with sleds. We've also seen the beautiful snow petrels on several occasions. They fly in flocks around us and have been very curious.
Day 14 – Friday, 21 November
ZeroSixZero: cold, snow, whiteout and the tent dancing in the wind
We are happy with the distance of 15 km today, despite very strong winds and whiteout. It is also blowing hard in camp, so we escape into our sleeping bags. Looks like it may be a rest day due to strong winds predicted for tomorrow.
Day 15 – Saturday, 22 November
ZeroSixZero: mye snø og kaldt med vind
A day off in the tent, resting. It turned out to be a good decision as whiteout, snow, and hard winds would have made skiing less than great. Inside the tent, it was pretty noisy with the tant bashes around and snow plastering the fabric.
Day 16 – Sunday, 23 November
ZeroSixZero: less wind and good to go
Distance record today: 19 km!! The night slowly turned quiet and beautiful. We woke up to a lot of snow. Fierce work to dig out the tents and sledges – it took at least 1.5 hours. So we started walking a bit late, but the sun was shining and it was a lovely day to be on the move.
During the day, however, a biting wind picked up, making it much colder than we expected. Still, it was a very a stunningly beautiful day, and we passed a mountain called Hoggestabben, which rises 800 meters straight up from the ice! There’s a chilly draft in camp tonight, but we’re very happy with the distance we covered today.
Day 17 – Monday, 24 November
ZeroSixZero Hard day, Sun, little wind, climbed to 1700m. Distance 21 km
Very strong and super sunny day. The snow had a thin crust on top that we broke through with every step. It made progress heavy and slow. By accident, Lars had left his lunch bag right under the red sled cover on one stint. The radiation immediately set about letting all his chicken and transforming the bag into a soggy chocolate lump of nuts, sausages, cheese, biscuits, biscuits etc. Bon appétit.
We pushed hard and gained a lot of altitude. We’ve made camp here for the night and will climb a bit higher tomorrow before beginning the descent towards the Troll area. The day was dominated by long snow dunes—endless ridges of white. Each time we thought we had cleared the last one, another rose ahead. Progress was demanding. Still, spirits are high. We’re satisfied with the effort and believe we can cover good distance in the coming days as we continue toward Troll Station.
Tomorrow we plan to descend and navigate around a pair of islands whose terrain we know little about. We’re unsure what awaits—ridges, slopes, windblown valleys, or ice walls—so the route will likely be both challenging and interesting. All is well otherwise. We switched Roland’s skins to click-skins, which should give him better glide moving forward.
Day 18 – Tuesday, 25 November
ZeroSixZero Beautiful day, sun, little wind. Zigzag great view. Distance 16 km
A truly remarkable day. Clear skies, wonderful sunshine, and only the faintest breath of wind from the south. Ideal conditions. The landscape was so beautiful it was almost unreal. We inadvertently strayed into a large crevasse zone and had to weave our way carefully out. Shortly after, we entered a pristine stretch of terrain — an absolute joy to travel through. We came in right beside two mountains called Gygra and Risen, with the ridge lying just next to them. We spotted two vehicles from Troll-station, passing close by. They stopped briefly but continued straight past us without any interaction. Quite odd.
We carried on, circling and descending. Teamwork was excellent, and we navigated the entire section smoothly. Possibly one of the finest days of the journey. A truly delightful day. Tomorrow, we plan to push hard; with the Troll area now visible, we are preparing for a day with major progress. It appears we are nearing the end. Bad weather is forecast for the weekend, so we hope to be extracted before it hits.
Day 19 – Wednesday, 26 November
ZeroSixZero: Troll! The mission i completed!! 25km, sun, no wind - stunning area! Pick up maybe tomorrow!
An incredible last day. There was a chance for an evening pickup so we gave it all. We now know we will not be invited into the station, so we bagged 25km just to camp right before the runway.
It was sunny, and no wind, and the snow was perfect. It stayed hard and good, making it a great end. After all we have seen, we didn’t expect much for the last day and Troll area, but rounding Stabben and descending into the area around Troll was a stunner. Those working here are really blessed
But the pickup flight was cancelled due to the weather around Novo and the low ground contrast where we planned to have the pickup. As we are not allowed to use the Troll runway as that is a no-go for tourists like us, we were in constant dialogue with the pilots to relay the landing conditions. And the contrast was very poor. So we got another night out. But actually very nice to let it all sink in a bit before returning to what we call life…
Day 21
When the Twin Otter finally came and landed next to the tent, it suddenly felt like the trip was complete.
The flight back was great too, as we saw much of the route from above. It struck us that it looked soooo far, but it was also great to get a better understanding of distances and orientation that were often hard from the ground.
Back at Novi, we were received kike Kings, and that same evening we held a slideshow with extra food and lots of beer for everyone working at the base.
Then the drying and packing down started 😉
You find the plan, map, thinking, about us, and some key choices below ;-)
AFTERTHOUGHTS:
We went into this trip, having dreamt, planned, and prepared for one and a half years. Still, there were a lot of question marks:
• Did our preparation and dive into satellite photos give us a good enough understanding of the crevasse structure?
• How to deal with crevasse safety being just two? Starting early November, would the conditions be too harsh? What would our age mean for tackling extreme cold? And were we up to pulling what turned out to be 80-85kg sleds in undulating terrain and super cold snow for 3 weeks solid?But most of all, would we be able to tap into our considerable (but slightly ancient) experience and pull out the old polar travel tricks?
The answers surprised and delighted us. It was YES on almost all accounts! Even though it was technically more difficult, colder, and harder than expected.
It is stunning just to be in this region. And we now understand even better the climbers we spoke to, who simply see this as the Holy Grail of mountaineering. We believe it is equally fascinating for skiers like us.:
• You have to operate at a high level.
• You have to always keep the guard up.
• You have to constantly analyse danger, crevasses, and your next move.
• So, you have to function perfectly as a team.
But all the time you ski in a world that looks like it comes from another galaxy. It fills you with such joy and appreciation that every hour skiing is a gift. At the same time, you have so many options for changing the route, play with the weather, wind, surface, undulation, and curiosity that the route becomes live while proceeding.
What made this extra special was that preparing and training well really paid off. It was brutally heavy in the first days (much of it due to sub-30 °C and snow with zero glide), but then it gradually all came together. The same goes for the cold. We remembered how to tackle that. But, we agreed that we should have started a few weeks later, as the ‘summer’ temperatures did not take hold of the area until the last week.
As always, at the end of a trip, you start talking about what’s next? This time, after long pauses, we said unanimously; can any polar trip topple this one?
THIS WAS OUR ZEROSIXZERO DIARY:
PREPARATIONS & SAFETY
Safety and crevasses were the biggest concerns during preparations. We spoke with Queen Maud Land legends Ivar Tollefsen, Robert Caspersen, and Christoph Höbenreich. They didn’t really put our fairs to bed… crevasses are there – and everywhere.
So we turned to KSAT. Their satellite images became our most important tool. Both in the planning process, the understanding of risk areas, and as a tool on the journey itself. For the planning process, we mixed Google Earth Pro, KSAT images, and maps from the Norwegian Polar Institute. That mapped out a route we used as a baseline. Then, on a trip like this, which has not been done before, and where you can choose, pick, and change the course every day, we needed to reevaluate all the time. For that the sat images was invaluable. – Though, we have to admit, it is not always easy to understand from the ground where you are in the view from orbit.
For the safety setup, we pooled as much input as possible, notably Eric Phillips / IPGA, Robert Caspersen, and, of course, the latest IceLegacy experience of Børge Ousland and Vincent Colliard.
Polar explorers (whisper it) prefer to go un-roped for better progress (and possibly ‘feel-free’ feeling). – This is related to us, too. We had a setup we were very happy with, and had adjusted to the bigger crevasse systems in Antarctica compared to what we have at home, and mostly in Greenland.
• We had a 5m+ knotted pulling rope to the sled that could be adjusted.
• We had 20m+ distance between us and plenty of scope to extend that, and have exyta rope at hand if needed.
• We had prusiks/stoppers behind the front sled to hopefully prevent it from going in together with skier no one.
• We had slings, prusik cord, ice screws, locking pulleys, crampons, and ice axes readily at hand at all times, and both had a snow anchor and a snow-stick too.
It proved especially difficult to rope up in the many areas that were lit by very sharp, dense baby sastrugies. With sleds and ropes getting stuck and a lot of forth and back to untangle them, prudence and working closely together became the norm:
• That meant the first skier used a 155, Åsnes Carbon/ Kevlar ski pole without the basket. Stick it in as far as you can in front, and you quickly detect invisible crevasses. – At least you have to believe you do… But mixed with ‘rather go around than take risks’, it works well for us.
Being two is always tricky, safety-wise. But doing this trek again and with a larger team, it should be possible to modify the route to make proceeding roped up easier.
Below you find a few examples of route preparation - Google earth Pro v. KSAT images:
FACTS, THOUGHTS AND THE STORY BEHIND THE TRIP
Queen Maud Land is the Norwegian sector of Antarctica. Between the coast and the waste inland polar plateau, with several dramatic mountain ranges.
One of these is ‘Fimbulheimen’. Here you find the Wolf’s Fang cluster of peaks shooting up from the ice, including the daunting Ulvetanna Peak. It was discovered in 1938, and the mile-high NW face was first climbed by Ivar Tollefsen, Robert Caspersen, and Sjur Nesheim in 1994.
The area has been a hot spot for prominent climbers. But few have been there to ski. Thus, this is what we are setting out to do, crisscrossing the mountains and heading westwards to the Troll station. Has anyone done it before? Don’t think so. But we believe this must be one of the most beautiful polar areas in the world for skiing.
Roland and Lars crossed Greenland together at the turn of the century. Now we are teaming up again for this Dream-Adventure. It started out as a Where on Earth should we go? Where have we not been? What is on top of the bucket list that we do not dare to show anyone? What would make us cry in awe of what this incredible and (now) vulnerable globe has to offer? The choice is this trip.
We have been chosen to be a flag expedition for the Explorer’s Club! The flag we will carry is, in itself, a tribute to both exploration and the variety around the world. It stems from 1935 and has been all around the world, quite literary; several Polar expeditions north and south, deep in the sea, up mountains, most continents – and not least, The Fram 2 / SpaceX expedition orbiting the poles with good friend Eric Philips.
TEAM ROLAND AND LARS
The team’s combined age is 131. This could either mean four pax in their best age – or two mates reliving past dreams.
In this case, that is the case.
As said, Roland and Lars crossed Greenland together at the turn of the century. Since then, they have had their fair share of exploits.
Roland Krüeger is the business leader who was inspired by Erling Kagge and went exploring the polar regions. He has used his expedition experience, sharpness and cut-to-the-bone philosophy successfully ever since. Taking a page from Amundsen: prepare better than everybody else —that is the winning concept. Everywhere.
Lars recons that Roland is a wonderfully unique mix that makes him strengthen any team in anything. First, being a German with built-in accuracy and a love of detail. A background as a designer and in economics and marketing. Having worked and lived in many places around the world gives him an understanding of culture and language nuances that help him avoid traps and achieve results. His sidesteps into adventure, whether it be ‘Marathon du Sable’, in the Arctic or the Antarctic, have taught him the world; The art of sailing close to danger with personal disaster on the line. What digging deeper than you thought possible rewards you with. And how to balancing it all, with personal perseverance, to obtain goals.
In 2005, he reached the South Pole together with Norwegian ledgents Cecilie Skog and Rolf Bae, and in 2011, he became the first German to reach the South Pole, solo and without any outside support.
Today, he lives with Claudine, he has the world as his office place, offering his experience and clairvoyance.
Fist visit to Greenland was in 1991 and 10 more visits to the Inland Ice followed. In 1993, he and his friends were the first to do Spitsbergen in full length. That trip took 14 days, and embarrassingly, that record stands to this day.
In 1994, Lars was part of the Unarmed expedition to the South Pole via the Berkner route. That trip sums up Lars’ philosophy and meaning of life. The name Unarmed stems from Cato having lost his arms in an accident as a kid. Use of broad smiles and humor is fundamental, together with Lars’ designer/advertising background; an expedition is not complete until all possible areas are maximized and optimized.
Later, he helped build up Hvitserk (the first Norwegian expedition travel company) before switching to Børge and his men.
Lars believes that having had the opportunity to visit and ‘play’ on all eight continents of the Globe (The Polar Sea being the 8th), mixed with his marketing and design skills, is the backbone of his global understanding of how to build an expedition.
But it also helps him be in total awe of the richness, variety, and beauty of this world while also appreciating its extreme vulnerability. That the thin layer of earth and atmosphere is the width of the skin on an apple should always linger in the back of everybody’s mind.
What really warms his heart is to see guides blossom and to help everybody reach an impossible personal goal.
He has been the invisible helper for hundreds of expeditions all over the world. Tips, tricks, preparation, training, whether, and strategy make him a very busy man.
Lars Ebbesen is a familiar Ousland name and has been with Børge for a long time. He tends to be called the ‘guide father’, but that is not by coincidence.
Being a skier by heart, but enjoying distance more than speed (wasn’t fast enough), it was an obvious path into longer mountain trips and eventually a polar challenges.
THE PLAN
Inspired by climbers who have sought the ultimate polar challenge, we settled for East Antarctica and Queen Maud Land. The tales and photos of Ivar Tollefsen, Aleksander Gamme (who took the photo on top), and others allude to this being unnaturally beautiful.Most have either gone climbing or doing research. – We will skiFrom Ulvetanne Mountain in the Worlf’s Fang cluster of peaks, we will sig-sag these daunting nunataks eastwards towards the Troll station.
Ca 250 kilometres on rolling icecap is not easy. With maps, Google Earth, and, not least, satellite images from KSAT, we have mapped out an exciting route. But glacier safety will always have to be taken seriously. Only two skiers roped up is not optimal, thus we have worked hard to safeguard the route and our safety measures.
Why do we use the Helsport Lofoten X-Trem 3 Camp? Well, we think it is the most beautiful of extreme tents out there. When you are to pitch it in the most picturesque area in the world, you can’t throw up anything:-•
That it also, with double poles, can see off any catabatic storm, helps too, of course. – And it saves quite a few grams, which is always crucial for us sled-haulers.
One thing that is important for us is to ski. Not ski-walk. Walking does work, but skiing gives pleasure, efficiency, better distance, and saved energy. Lots of energy.
Thus, the choice of skies was fun. On one side, we have our own Ousland ski. It is a very good polar ski, while still good for skiing, has a nice design and colors, and is pretty lightweight. You may of course debate the joy of having the legend Børge Ousland staring you in the eyes all the time. But on one side, it is useful to constantly be reminded of keeping your guard up. – And you may of course cut out the face of your loved one and replace his – just don’t tell him…
But with a sled around 70-75kg we may opt for Åsnes Mountain race skin. It is great ski for skiing. Both the shape, weight, and characteristics will give great joy. – Well, yes, sorry Frank; the design is, eh, let's say not our favorite (we can’t write horrendous, that would be too harsh). But a small snowbird has whispered that an overhaul and new design are coming. But the joy of skiing them overrides everything :-)
There are several shoes and bindings around. Some even look like Lars’ first pair that he got when he was 3. Today there are basically very few combinations that provide efficient skiing. The best combo is an Alfa boot and a Rottefella NNN system. The new Explore system is actually very good. And if you have tried it and then go back to an old system, you are in for a small shock.
In really cold environments like Antarctica, you end up with the Alfa Polar APS. Combined with the NNN BC binding, you can actually ski very well. And to ski properly, with a bit of gliding and longer steps, you also enhance circulation, which is not bad for the feet.
What else? Food for thought: Eat well and you perform well. Roland, being German, lives in the Alp foothills with all its great food. It was fun testing through European, American, and New Zealand freeze-dried. Lars being biased, it was Roland who convincingly landed on DryTech. We can’t wait for the dinners. Great dining in great environments.
The inner secret
Well, that Norwegians wear mesh closest to their skin is hardly a secret. ‘Oh, they have their Brynje,’ you hear all over, especially places where they were hard to find before the internet stores.
Many companies now provide mesh products in one form or another. And many use wool. But Roland and Lars swear to the synthetic mesh. From Brynje.
The reason is that their knitting standards are higher, which provides a softer and better wear. At the same time, the mesh provides a ‘thermosatic’ layer of air, and the synthetic wicks all moisture away from the skin. Wool is of course nice, but when pulling and skiing hard you always have to deal with sweat, and synthetic easily becomes the safest bet.
Shell choices are downright interesting these days. With all the gig brands fighting a confusing battle over production locations, fabric qualities, and sustainability, two obvious options have been basically ruled out. The Arctic lines from Norrøna and Mountain Equipment are running dry, and no one knows when or if they will resurface :-(
But Brynjes Shell dress is more than up to it. And, if we believe Bengt Rotmo, it is the best in the field.
So Lars and Roland are happily dressed in red. However, the detail- and designer-nerd German on the trip acquired two jackets to modify them into one, long Arctic/Heroic Age version. This is what jackets should look like to minimize the risk of ‘polar thighs’ etc – not the most sexy for urban / high-street adventures where most jackets are used - but very efficient.
WOLF’S FANG 2 TROLL
