Founded in 1966 by climbers Peter Lockey and Gordon Davison in Newcastle upon Tyne, Berghaus was born from a need for reliable outdoor equipment in the unpredictable British weather. The brand, whose name is German for “mountain house,” quickly established a reputation for innovation, becoming one of the first in Europe to incorporate GORE-TEX® into its products. This commitment to technical excellence produced iconic designs like the Cyclops rucksack, the world's first internal-frame pack, and the versatile Gemini jacket with its zip-in fleece. Still headquartered in the North East of England, Berghaus is owned by the Pentland Group and continues to be a staple for hikers and mountaineers, sponsoring elite athletes who test its gear in extreme conditions.
