Bergans of Norway: 100 years of outdoor experience!

In 1908, Ole F. Bergan invented the world’s first A-frame backpack. The brand Bergans was born! Initially, Bergans focused on manufacturing backpacks. Now, 100 years later, the company offers a wide range of other products including tents, sleeping bags and clothing of which Bergans is the market leader in its home country Norway. Bergans manufactures reliable and functional equipment designed to perform under the toughest and most demanding conditions. Even more, Bergans incorporates the newest high tech stretch materials to allow for a high level of freedom of motion. By sponsoring expeditions, the company actively tests and develops their products.

Bergans of Norway shares its technical experience with courageous people traveling where few men have gone before – a tradition that goes back to the company’s beginning. Already in 1912 Bergans was an important supplier for the legendary South Pole expeditions to both Amundsen and Scott.

The main reason for us to sponsor Project Inland Ice was the multi-purpose approach of the team. They care about climate change and want to teach young children about its causes and effects. The changing climate and Bergans are heavily connected. All employees working at Bergans are outdoor people and appreciate nature and its beauty to the fullest. Bergans focuses more and more on ecologically friendly production processes and if possible, material is recycled. New, more climate neutral products are being launched at this moment and in the very near future.

Bergans congratulates the team with its huge achievement and reaching their goal faster then planned. We hope that they, above all, enjoyed the trip and are satisfied with the entire process. It is fantastic to have a dream, plan every detail of it, and to be able to fulfill that dream!
