They say we are what we eat. Nah, beg to differ. Who we are is where we come from. For Berghaus, that’s the northeast of England, where rain-washed fells beckon adventurous folk to explore a world apart from cramped flats.
When Berghaus founders Gordon Davison and Peter Lockey first heeded that call in the mid-1960s, there was no place a Geordie boy could go to buy kit worthy of a good country ramble, let alone the high alpine ranges they longed to explore. So they made their own gear, fit for whatever the outdoors may bring, from a rainy stroll to a bold new line on K2.
Sixty years on, Berghaus still believes the best of life is lived outdoors, and the outdoors is for everyone. They’re not fussed about what you do out there. It’s enough that you get outside, in any weather, all year round. That commitment starts with kit that’s ready for anything and built to last.
