Discovering wide open spaces and the grandiose Scottish landscapes on a road trip with photographers Thomas Aulagner and Gaëtan Delalande.
Passionate about travel, nature and discovery, Thomas and Gaëtan found in Scotland a territory steeped in history and mystery, where the cliffs, the lochs and the Highlands bring a fascinating dimension for anyone with a passion for outdoor photography.
Both set off on the endless roads of this territory, equipped with down jackets and parkas from Pyrenex for men, as well as natural down sleeping bags perfectly suited to the circumstances of the trip: a van road trip.
Thomas:
"A lover of wide open spaces, this kind of atmosphere draws me in and intoxicates me. The endless lonely roads of Scotland call out for a road trip. Nothing beats immersing yourself in the places you encounter, being able to stay, to soak them up and render them in images. Adventure has always been one of the primary essences of my photographic work."
Gaëtan:
"Waking up in the wilderness, even for 10 days, makes you forget everything. All that matters is the present moment."
Which Pyrenex products for a Nordic road trip?
A lightweight and packable down jacket:
The Bruce men's down jacket, like the Mauco, are very thin and lightweight quilted jackets that nonetheless guarantee excellent thermal insulation thanks to their natural down (100% French). They are also ideal to wear as a mid-layer under your favourite jacket or coat.
A warm water-repellent down jacket or a parka:
Parka or down jacket — to each their own style and preference. The Hudson down jacket, like the Spoutnic, offers a more sporty look and does not skimp on protection against the cold and wind, thanks to their generous down filling and water-repellent, breathable fabrics.
The Annecy parka is slightly heavier but offers optimal thermal insulation, thanks in particular to its length and its genuine (removable) fur trim.
A sleeping bag:
A great classic at Pyrenex. We offer you a wide choice of packable and lightweight sleeping bags, with different filling levels for a variety of temperature ranges. In winter, mid-season or summer: there is a Pyrenex sleeping bag for every use. You can even zip two bags together to sleep as a couple or increase the warmth level!
