66°North
66°North was founded in 1926 by Hans Kristjánsson to make better protective clothes for Icelandic fishermen because the Icelandic weather is infamously extreme and unpredictable and there are different combinations of rain, snow, and sun each day. Today, 66 North makes functional clothing for all kinds of outdoor activities. Their award-winning jackets, parkas, sweaters, vests, and cold-weather accessories make it possible to seize the day and get outside no matter the weather.
66°North uses innovative technologies such as Gore-Tex® fabric, which offers superior waterproofing and breathability. This allows wearers to stay dry and comfortable even during prolonged periods of heavy rain or snowfall. Additionally, many of their garments feature advanced insulation technology that traps heat while still allowing moisture to escape, keeping users warm and dry in cold temperatures.
The marriage of technical fabrics with innovative designs ensures top-notch performance in rain, snow, wind, and sun. Thanks to versatile, functional features, you no longer have to sweat the weather forecast. Waterproof, breathable, comfortable, durable, and reliable are just a few of the many ways that 66°North helps you prepare. Liberate yourself from stuffy, sticky, uncomfortable outdoor clothing.
One of the brand's iconic items is the Vatnajökull PrimaLoft Jacket, designed in collaboration with Icelandic search and rescue teams. This jacket combines the best elements of insulation and breathability, making it ideal for outdoor activities. The brand's signature color palette of black, blue, and orange not only serves a functional purpose but also adds to its distinctive style. 66°North's commitment to sustainability is also commendable. They strive to minimize their ecological footprint by using responsibly sourced materials and implementing production processes that adhere to high environmental standards.
