In 1966, outdoor wear as we know it didn’t really exist. Then, Berghaus came along.
Born in the North East of England from a single idea by Peter Lockey and Gordon Davison, Berghaus started selling quality outdoor gear in 1966 from a small shop called the LD Mountain Centre in Newcastle, UK.
It’s been their goal to make proper gear packed with innovation from the beginning. Their founders quickly gained a reputation for selling the best outdoor wear the industry had to offer, including products like Atomic Skis, Marker Bindings and Nordica Ski. They were also the first to bring the iconic SCARPA walking boot to the UK market.
The natural next step for Lockey and Davison was to make their own gear. Soon, they began to design, test and create brand new outdoor wear, inspired by what climbers actually wanted and needed. And so, Berghaus was born.
