    Yesterday's answer was Senja Snow. Senja Snow is suitable for Spring/Summer/Autumn so it doesn't fit the "3 seasons other than summer" clue, whereas Senja Ice is for Autumn/Winter/Spring and fits the clue better. The clue in Norwegian is the same, so it's not a translation problem.

    Behind today's window is one of our products that has an English name. The name tells us a bit about the fabric the product is made from and that it is low in weight. The product is ideally suited to a whole range of activities throughout the year but is specially developed for ski touring and mountaineering.

    I can't decide on today's product. Both the Active Light Jacket and Microlight Jacket fit the clue well. I've gone for "Microlight Jacket" (so it's probably the other one)

    Today's product has a girl's name. This is because the product was named after a girl who was born in Ålesund in 1974. She is also one of the most high-profile members of Team Bergans, and many Bergans products have been named after her. Today's product is a 3-layer shell jacket with a Dermizax™ NX membrane.

    The person is Cecilie Skog

    My answer from HERE = Cecilie Jacket

    For every copy we sell of the product behind today's window we will donate NOK 5.00 to the iCare humanitarian project. This project is working to eliminate all causes of blindness that can be prevented or treated with simple means. The product name comprises three words, of which the first word is the Norwegian word for 'summit'. There is also another product behind the window today. The product name comprises two words. The first is the English word for the Norwegian word 'dun'. The second word sounds German, but is the English word for the Norwegian word 'vott'.

    Straight tanslations are summit = topp, dun = down, vott = mitten
    The Norwegian clue includes "et norsk synonym til ordet topp" which translates as "a Norwegian synonym for the word topp". In the norwegian thesaurus "tind" is a synonym for "topp".

    My answer from HERE & HERE = Tind Wool Beanie & Down Mitten

    PS. The charity donation is mentioned on the beanie's page in the catalogue.

    Today there is a Slingsby product behind the window. If you know the Slingsby names then you will already know the ending of today's product name. Do you need further hints? OK, the product holds 34 liters and gets its cool name from a 1,550 meter high mountain located in Lyngen in Troms county.

    Mountain is Istinden

    My answer from HERE = Istinden 34L

    From HERE the mountain is Store Hellstugutinden

    Today there are two products behind the window associated with the same product series. It is the name of this series you should find. The products are made in two layers and are particularly gentle on the skin. This may be why the name is taken from a very old plant that, through the ages, has been regarded as holy. The plant has blue flowers and is grown today as an ornamental plant.

    The plant is Aquilegia known as Columbine and in Norway it is Akeleie
    There are many Akeleie products in the Baselayers section eg. HERE but they only want the series name.

    My answer = Akeleie

    The 11th window conceals a down product that bears the name of a Norwegian town. The town is located north of the Polar Circle and has a well known soccer team. In 2014 the team just managed to avoid being relegated. The town in question was founded in 1816 as a commercial center for North Norwegian fishermen.

    Town = Bodø

    There is no Bodø in the English catalogue but I've found one in the Norwegian.

    My answer from HERE = Bodø Down Jacket

    Today's product is named after a ground-breaking mountain. It is exceptionally beautiful and is often referred to as Jotunheimen's most beautiful mountain. It is also ground-breaking in the true sense of the word insofar as it is situated on the border between the counties of Oppland and Sogn og Fjordane.

    Not easy to find this one. From HERE "Uranostind is also referred to as the most beautiful peak in Jotunheimen"

    My answer from HERE = Uranostind Insulated Jacket

The municipality borders Tydal and Holtålen to the north, Os in Østerdalen to the south-west, Engerdal to the south and Härjedalen in Sweden to the east.

    From the map, the municipality is Røros
