Bergans of Norway is a premier outdoor gear and apparel brand with a heritage stretching back to 1908. The company gained global recognition after its founder, Ole F. Bergan, invented the anatomical rucksack, which was famously used by polar explorer Roald Amundsen during his expedition to the South Pole.
While the brand is deeply rooted in its Norwegian heritage and performs design and testing in Norway, manufacturing is distributed globally across a network of specialized factories. In 2021, Bergans was acquired by Sport Holding AS, a major player in the Scandinavian sports and outdoor market. This acquisition has allowed the brand to further its commitment to sustainability, including circular economy initiatives like the 'Second Hand' program visible in the retailer's listing.
