For over four decades, Berghaus has been a frontrunner and innovator in clothing and gear for the serious mountaineer and climber. Founded in 1966 in the UK, the name ‘Berghaus,’ meaning ‘mountain hut’ in German, often leads people to mistakenly believe that Berghaus is a German company. Interestingly, however, the German name was adopted purposely by founders Peter Lockley and Gordon Davison, as most high-quality climbing and mountaineering gear at that time was indeed coming out of Germany or Austria. Leading the way in the use of Gore-Tex by Europeans, as well as being one of the first to create a backpack with an internal frame, Berghaus today is stronger than ever, and stands for high-quality outdoors wear for the serious adventurer and the hobbyist, or anyone who simply wants to stay warm and dry in fashion.
Carrying attractive fashions for men, women, and children, Berghaus clothing proves that you don’t have to sacrifice form for function, and that heavy-duty clothing made for chilly outdoors adventures can also be attractive at the same time. For example, the fleece jackets carried by Berghaus are both toasty and extremely fashionable for this season, and could serve as either outerwear for warmer spring or autumn days, or as another layer when the weather turns a bit more brisk. A few steps above fleece are the several kinds of jackets and coats that Berghaus carries, from the “Tempest” to the “Four Seasons,” which have several features helpful to the active outdoors person such as zip pockets, waterproof fabrics, and detachable hoods.
Berghaus jackets are also fantastically practical as many are machine-washable and/or waterproof, so you can be sure that if you do get into a bit of rough and tumble, your clothing can stand up to it. Another choice that is both practical and fashionable is the 4-in-1 jacket, whose layers can be removed or added according to whatever weather you’re facing. Coming in khaki, pale and dark blues, and other neutral shades, this jacket can take you wherever you’re going in style. And for serious weather, try a down-filled jacket, or a fur-lined parka, which are sure to protect you from the elements. With high-quality construction at reasonable prices, Berghaus clothing can prepare you for those serious weather situations, or just a whole lot of fun on the weekends, second to none.
