2001-2005 A New Century
Intelligent waterproof technology and another award for a very 21st century brand.
Appropriately for a company that brought you the very first GORE-TEX® product, Berghaus did it again with the launch of GORE-TEX® Summit II XCR® in 2001– an exceptionally tough yet ultra-breathable waterproof fabric that proved to be hugely successful.
This was followed by the launch of Extrem Light – an integrated, lightweight range of clothing, footwear and rucsacs , designed to help people go faster, further and in more comfort.
And in a similar vein, the Berghaus Adventure Travel range was launched in 2004 with the aim of creating a travel range that combined high-performance technology with laid-back comfort. Featuring intelligent fabric technology such as Dri Release™ odour prevention and Healthguard™ protection, Adventure Travel was travel wear at its most innovative – and quintessentially Berghaus.
Outstanding innovation
2005 saw the launch of the world's most innovative back system to date. Naturally, it came from Berghaus. Bioflex® , designed to work with the body’s natural movements, not only stole the show at all major UK and international shows that year but also received the ISPO award for innovation.
