Bergans of Norway jacket

Bergans of Norway is a legendary outdoor brand founded in 1908 by Ole Ferdinand Bergan, who revolutionized the outdoor industry by inventing the first anatomical rucksack. Over the decades, the company has expanded from its roots in equipment to become a leader in high-performance technical apparel, including its widely recognized collection of jackets designed for extreme polar and mountain conditions.

Historically a family-owned Norwegian enterprise, the brand has maintained its identity for over a century. In 2021, Bergans was acquired by Sport Holding, a major Norwegian sports retail group. This acquisition aimed to strengthen the brand's position in both the domestic and international markets while preserving its heritage. While the design and technical development remain rooted in Norway, manufacturing is carried out through a global network of specialized partners, primarily in Asia, to ensure high technical standards and scalability.
