Main Story. 05. 14.
In Newcastle upon Tyne, England, where wild weather meets rugged landscapes, Berghaus has been crafting gear that stands up to the elements since 1966. Rooted in the philosophy that the best of life is lived outdoors, climbers and mountaineers Peter Lockey and Gordon Davison founded Berghaus to design kit that can stand up to the elements and is built to last. Polartec has been by their side for most of this journey, providing the Berghaus team with everything from Polartec® Fleece, Polartec® Alpha™ active insulation and Polartec® Power Wool™ to Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro™ and the epitome of grid fleece, Polartec® Power Grid™ – because at the end of the day, absolutely nothing should stop you being outdoors.
“Our job isn’t to make clothes, but to build the gear that will get people outside and keep them there, regardless of the weather. Working with Polartec means we can do that without compromise, and without cost to the planet, which is a win for everyone involved.” Berghaus Design Team
Everything Berghaus does starts in England’s North East, which means real outdoors, raw authenticity and an inherent understanding of how to keep up with the realities of British weather and terrains. Driven by the belief that the outdoors is for everyone, everything Berghaus makes is engineered to be versatile and accessible. Here’s where Polartec® technologies come in – from Polartec® Fleece series and Alpha™ active insulation to Power Stretch® Pro™, Power Grid™, and Thermal Pro™ – all of which transform base layer basics into pillars of performance. This is because Berghaus caters to seasoned mountaineers and amateur explorers alike, and their ample use of Polartec® fabrics ensures adaptive comfort that empowers wearers to embrace the outdoors confidently and responsibly.
Ed Jackson, a former professional rugby player turned adaptive mountaineer, knows the importance of physical and mental resilience. After a life-changing spinal injury, Ed is on a mission to climb some of the world’s biggest mountains with Berghaus right there with him. From the packable warmth of a multi-functional mid-layer to the technical performance of moisture-wicking gear, Berghaus delivers reliable and durable products that fuse purpose and performance.
When the climb gets brutal, Ed’s go-to is the Berghaus Delta Short Sleeve Tech Tee. Made with Polartec® Delta™, it grants next-to-skin comfort and extreme cooling even under the hot summer sun, which translates to the promise of perseverance. Ed’s unwavering trust in Polartec-powered Berghaus gear goes beyond its technical merit extending to the shared commitment to equipping those who refuse to be defined by limitations.
Berghaus doesn’t do fast fashion. Their gear is built to last and to do so without leaving a trace, an ethos they share with Polartec. Both brands operate with an unwavering commitment to pushing the limits of what technical gear can achieve, especially in the most unpredictable environments. With fabrics engineered to withstand rugged use and built from recycled and circular inputs, the collaboration thrives on a mutual understanding that high-performance apparel shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. After all, less plastic in our landfills and waterways means more days of clean, crisp air on the moors. Because real sustainability comes with innovation, patience, and making better gear, stitch by stitch.
Berghaus relies on Polartec fabric technologies to deliver technically advanced, comfortable, and durable clothing that meets professional-grade standards. And in doing so, they empower climbers, trekkers, and explorers to move forward, knowing their kit is working just as hard for the environment as it is for them.
