Odlo

About Odlo

Odlo was founded in Norway in 1946 by Odd Roar Lofterød, who built a training suit for speed skaters using new synthetic fibres that gave warmth, stretch and freedom of movement. That next-to-skin thinking still shapes the brand today. Since 1986 it has been based in Switzerland, refining its layering system for runners, cyclists, hikers and winter sports enthusiasts. Odlo builds from the base layer outwards, using its three-layer principle to manage temperature and moisture so clothing works with the body rather than against it. Collections are made from recycled or sustainable materials, with an ongoing focus on fair workplaces and circularity.
