Bergans

Bergans is a Norwegian outdoor brand that makes tents, sleeping bags, rucksacks and outdoor clothing for women, men and children. It has been part of the trade since 1908, and had a hand in shaping it. That year Ole F. Bergans invented and patented the first frame rucksack, which is a good reason to take a look at the packs in particular.

The long history shows in how the brand approaches kit for extreme environments, and that knowledge carries across the range. Jackets, rucksacks and tents all sit under one name, so it works as a one-stop label if you like your outdoor gear from a single maker. A sensible place to start for hiking and camping.
