Bergans of Norway has been driven by dedicated and passionate outdoor enthusiasts for over a century. We introduced and patented the backpack as we know it today, an invention famous polar explorers such as Amundsen and Scott recognized and used on their expeditions. No other manufacturer of outdoor equipment can match our experience in polar exploration – or our ambition to share this legacy with today’s adventurers. Founded in 1908, Bergans has played a major role in Norwegian outdoor life for more than a century.

Today, Bergans of Norway is a leading innovator in high-performance outdoor equipment and technical garments. In close partnership with our test team of professional polar explorers and adventurers, we develop high-quality equipment. Our unique heritage, history and knowledge about the great Norwegian outdoors form the basis of every single one of our products. This has made a whole raft our products test- and award-winners, both nationally and internationally.
