Historia
Founded in 1986 in Åre, Sweden, by three professional skiers, the brand emerged from a desire for functional ski gear that lacked excessive ornamentation. It gained prominence for introducing technical innovations to the European ski market. Over decades, it transitioned from specialized mountain equipment to a broader fashion context, influencing the rise of technical outerwear in urban environments and establishing a precedent for the functional-minimalist aesthetic in contemporary sportswear.
