66° North

We couldn't put together a list of Icelandic outdoor clothing brands, or any other type of brands, without mentioning 66° North.

Hans Kristjánsson founded the 66° North brand nearly a century ago, in 1926.

It was initially a company that marketed to Icelandic fishermen who worked in difficult and challenging conditions, necessitating clothes that could endure the elements and rough seas. It is a company known for producing extremely high-quality and functional apparel for a wide range of outdoor activities, both professional and recreational.

66° North has increased its design spectrum throughout the years and won an award for the Snaefell jacket.

Another point worth emphasizing is their commitment to sustainable production methods, such as ethical and responsible raw material sourcing.

They educate clients on proper product care and provide repair services to assist in extending the life of their designs and decreasing environmental impact.

This is one of the top three Icelandic brands in the outdoor clothing market for individuals looking for high-performance clothes.

66°North manufactures primarily in Europe, but it also offers a few products that are handcrafted in Iceland, such as the luxury Sölvhóll Collection.
