Norrøna

In 1929, Jørgen Jørgensen, a Norwegian outdoor enthusiast, began his search for durable outdoor equipment to perform in Norway’s harsh and rugged land. Starting with simple innovations such as leather straps, canvas backpacks and cotton clothing, he set Norrøna’s direction: to search for the best in technical advancements, to create the ultimate in performance product. Today, four generations later, as traditional mountain life broadens, we are still a Norwegian family-owned and run company. We inherit from our forefathers our commitment to advance the boundaries of product function, with design-bred solutions to equip you with the highest-grade, protective, sustainable gear for your outdoor needs. We control the ultimate detail with the promise to bring you excellence through experimental, technical perfection assisted by our dedicated testers and ambassadors.

We build touchstone products, establish construction techniques, and redefine the meaning of fit, fabric, function and finish, based on our design principle of Loaded Minimalism™. Ethical trade and sustainability are essential in all parts of our value chain, and we believe that the only way to run a company is on a sustainable platform.
