66°North Outdoor Clothing

66°North is an Icelandic brand specializing in outdoor clothing, founded in 1926 by Hans Kristjánsson as Sjóklæðagerð Íslands (Fishermen's Clothing Factory of Iceland). The brand was established to provide protective clothing for Icelandic fishermen and workers facing the harsh North Atlantic elements. Over the years, 66°North has expanded its product range to include a variety of outdoor apparel, maintaining a focus on durability and functionality. The company operates its own manufacturing facilities in Latvia, with some products also produced in other locations. In 2022, 66°North became the first Icelandic company to receive B Corporation certification, reflecting its commitment to high standards of environmental and social impact. The brand is privately owned by 66°North ehf., a company headquartered in Iceland, with no known subsidiaries.
