    There are people who want to be real – and for some it comes easy. The Frenchman Bruno Compagnet (45) embodies authenticity. The former freeride pro lives the life he wants. He always has. img_GT_GMT_Freeride_DM_2015_063And today, together with his family, perhaps even a little more. How? With yoga and green tea early each morning; with a VW van when he’s looking for new places in the mountains where he can just be. Pure freedom and living each moment – that’s what he’s thinking when he’s carving lines in untouched snow. He spends his time primarily in the Dolomites where he practices reduction to the essentials: he doesn’t need much to live his life. He prizes good equipment – gear that keeps him safe on his adventures. With that, clothing that offers comfort when in the mountains. In any weather. For his style. He found it in Norrøna. His all-time favorite outfit: the Norrøna Lofoten jacket and pants from GORE TEX® Pro. They provide the ultimate protection from the elements in a casual design – pure freedom.
