Berghaus History
2006 - Present Four Decades Of Innovation
More than 40 years at the forefront of outdoor performance wear and Berghaus are still innovating.
With some fresh faces on board including the fearless climber Leo Houlding , world famous climber Mick Fowler and world class boulderer Leah Crane , Berghaus continue to blaze a trail in the outdoor world.
The launch of two flagship stores – one in Gateshead, UK and another in London’s Covent Garden – help confirm Berghaus’ status as an iconic brand. While an adrenaline packed 60-second cinema commercial in 2008, devised by and featuring athletes Leo and Anniken shows Berghaus to be as innovative when it comes to advertising as they are performance wear.
In 2006 Berghaus received royal recognition – the Queen’s Award for innovation in the design and technical development of outdoor products .
However, Berghaus’ focus remains firmly on creating the very best outdoor products for outdoor enthusiasts across the world. Some things never change.
Famous face
2009 saw Berghaus athlete Leo Houlding take on his toughest challenge yet – the epic ascent of Mount Asgard on Baffin Island with fellow Berghaus athlete Carlos Suarez and award-winning filmmaker Alastair Lee . Not content with one epic adventure, Leo also climbed Mount Huashan that same year. One of China’s most sacred mountains, it took Leo just one day to scale Mount Huashan – cementing his position as one of the greatest climbers in the world.
