DEAR MOTHER NATURE

One could almost begin to believe that you can read our thoughts. When we’ve had enough of winter, you turn up the heat, melt the ice and snow away, and awaken the forests and mountains from their winter slumber. We put away our ski and winter equipment, in the knowledge that it’s getting warmer by the minute. It’s time to get motivated in anticipation of outdoor pursuits. Here come spring and summer!

Our long story short Outdoor equipment for pioneers throughout a century of adventures. Bergans of Norway has been driven by dedicated and passionate outdoor enthusiasts for over a century. We introduced and patented the backpack as we know it today, an invention famous polar explorers such as Amundsen and Scott recognized and used on their expeditions. No other manufacturer of outdoor equipment can match our experience in polar exploration – or our ambition to share this legacy with today’s adventurers. Founded in 1908, Bergans has played a major role in Norwegian outdoor life for more than a century.

Today, Bergans of Norway is a leading innovator in high-performance outdoor equipment and technical garments. In close cooperation with our test team of professional polar explorers and adventurers, we develop high-quality equipment. Our unique heritage, history and expert insights into the demands of the rugged Norwegian back country go into every single product we create. This knowledge has made a number of our products test- and award-winners, both nationally and internationally.

HANS KRISTIAN KROGH-HANSSEN

Product development When our founder, Ole F. Bergan, invented the famous Bergans backpack frame in 1908 it was an innovative stroke of genius stemming from his own experience as an active hunter and outdoorsman. To this day Bergans has continued to recruit outdoor enthusiasts and hunters, and the bedrock of our product development is still our passion for outdoor life and practical user understanding. In simple terms, we could say that our product philosophy is based on creating products that we ourselves would want to use on trips outdoors. We love thinking innovatively and identifying new and smarter solutions. This means that we must constantly monitor new developments. Thus, we travel all over the world to keep ourselves up to date and informed about the latest developments within fabrics, technologies and trends. We impose strict requirements to ensure that the fabrics we use are produced in a responsible and sustainable manner. No fabric will form part of a Bergans product until it has satisfied our strict quality requirements. At our highly advanced test laboratory, all fabrics are subject to extensive testing. We also perform tests at independent external laboratories.

It takes more than just quality modern fabrics to make good products. Bergans is renowned for its fine cut and high quality. In order to meet these expectations we must physically put the products into use. We do this ourselves, although we also have a wide range of product testers and collaborating partners for field testing, including members of Team Bergans. These are fastidious and extreme users who know what they want and what is required of a product. The product testers take the products on trips and provide us with valuable feedback regarding what works and what should be modified. We make the necessary adjustments and re-test the product until all the details are in place and the product can be adorned with the Bergans logo – just the way we want it to be!

Our membranes Our mission is to keep you dry, warm and comfortable when you’re exploring the outdoors. As experienced outdoor enthusiasts we know that good weather protection is the key to an enjoyable experience. A shell garment’s most important weapon in the fight against wind and weather is the membrane fitted on the inside of the outer shell. This makes the garment waterproof, windproof and breathable. Modern shell clothing is mainly available with two types of membrane: hydrophilic and microporous. We use the following membranes: Dermizax®NX, Dermizax®, Bergans Element Active® and Bergans Element®. All of these are hydrophilic! We believe that because hydrophilic membranes have a dense and even surface, our shell garments have a number of advantages – both practical and functional: Easy maintenance A Bergans shell garment with hydrophilic membrane does not require special washing or special detergents.

Superior function for many years Our hydrophilic membranes are less affected by dirt and grime and salt crystals. They therefore retain full functionality over a long period – even when the garment is dirty! With regular washing and maintenance your garment will maintain its outstanding properties and performance for many years. Adapts to your activity level A shell garment with hydrophilic membrane will adapt itself to your activity level. High-intensity activity triggers enhanced breathability and ventilation. Low-intensity activity causes the garment to breathe less, as a result of which it retains heat better. Soft and comfortable Hydrophilic membranes are very flexible and elastic, which means that they do not interfere with the properties of the outer fabric. In combination with a snug fit, our shell garments are soft and gives you full freedom of movement.

STOREN

SLINGSBY GLACIER

William C. Slingsby • Many first ascents in Norway between 1872 and 1921 • Referred to as the father of • Norwegian mountaineering • A true nature lover, who took chances and pushed the limits

HANS KRISTIAN KROGH-HANSSEN


11

Inspired by the past – developed for modern mountaineering Our Slingsby collection was developed for high level hiking and mountaineering, in cooperation with professional mountain guides. The result is super lightweight products streamlined to provide you with the functional essentials you need. No deadweight or clutter for the ultimate in rugged and everyday mountain wear. At Bergans we set our sights to the future, yet we never forget those who pioneered the sport of mountaineering. One such pioneer was William C. Slingsby who achieved many first ascents in Norway from 1872 to 1921, and is regarded as “The Father of Norwegian Mountaineering.” As a lover of nature, explorer, skier, and competent mountaineer he pushed the limits of the day, and inspired those around him. Qualities we at Bergans value and identify with.

Just like Slingsby modern mountaineers rely on the best equipment to reach the top. Inspired by his legacy, we drew on our extensive mountain experience to create a product range in the spirit of Slingsby. The range consists of shell garments, heat insulating padded garments, softshell, midlayers and backpacks, all optimized for high-intensity activity in demanding weather conditions. Each model is named after a summit ascended by Slingsby.

LOW WEIGHT – SUPERIOR FUNCTION

Lightweight equipment is essential in steep terrain. To strike the perfect balance between weight and functionality and to achieve the durability required for tough mountain use, we tested, weighed and rethought every little detail in the Slingsby range. Functions and features that might hamper your progress were removed or placed elsewhere on the product.

FULL CONTROL IN THE FACE OF WIND, WATER, AND TEMPERATURE EXTREMES

Most of the shell garments in the Slingsby series are made from Dermizax® NX membrane to provide windproofing, waterproofing and outstanding breathability. The membrane also adjusts its breathability to your activity levels. High-intensity activity triggers enhanced breathability and ventilation. At low-intensity, breathability is reduced in favor of increased heat insulation. BIG, ADJUSTABLE, CLIMBING HELMET COMPATIBLE HOOD.

FIT FOR FIGHT

High-intensity activity in extreme environments requires clothing that fits well and guarantees freedom of movement and comfort. Slingsby products are made from soft and comfortable materials, allowing you to move easily in rough terrain. The garments have an athletic fit, with added width and flexibility where needed.

EXTENDED BACK PANEL FRONT POCKETS ARE DESIGNED TO AVOID INTERFERING WITH A BACKPACK’S HIP BELT

The other ventilation options in the garments are also carefully thought-out and positioned.

Have a safe, enjoyable trip! Even in the summer, the weather in the mountains can quickly turn. There’s an old adage that you should always respect a bad weather forecast but never fully trust a good weather forecast. Regardless of the weather prospects, you should always bring clothes that protect you from inclement weather.

Have a great trip!

How the experts dress Very soon, Tormod Granheim will climb the last of a total of 82 alpine summits above 4,000 meters. What kind of clothing has he taken with him on these trips? “I’m a great fan of the Slingsby collection, with the Storen jacket and pants as my favorites. These are high-tech products and also super light. They suit me perfectly. As someone who finds it difficult to keep warm, I appreciate a little extra warmth – even in the summer. The Uranostind jacket with PrimaLoft® does the job perfectly. If it’s really cold I’ll choose down. I love the Memurutind Down Jacket! Underneath I will usually wear wool. The thickness depends on the pace I plan to maintain throughout the day. I love outer layers with high collars and zips. The mid-layer will usually be a Kvanndalstind Half Zip. I’ll often have a Helium 55 L on my back. It serves as hand baggage on planes and holds a lot of climbing equipment, large, warm down items, as well as water and candy. For skiing I use a more technical backpack, like Istinden or Hodlekve.

Hiking safety When you’re spending time in steep and exposed terrain it’s important to have the right equipment and clothing. Thorough knowledge of the terrain your are moving in is also crucial. Bergans collaborates with Norgesguidene (Norway’s Guides), who are specialists in tour guiding, courses and mountaineering training. They use our products on a daily basis and provide us with very valuable feedback. They also provide us with knowledge and tips about hiking. Here’s a tip for you: Consult Norgesguidene (Norway’s Guides) next time you’re intending to hike in unfamiliar terrain. norgesguidene.no

TECHNICAL WOOL The combination of wool with state-of-the-art textiles produces a more functional and durable fabric, while retaining the unique properties of wool: • Regulates temperature – provides great insulation in the cold, but has a cooling effect when it’s warm • Soft and comfortable • Good wicking properties • Does not absorb perspiration odors – garments made from wool-rich blends can be worn for longer without needing to be washed. • Sun protection = minimum UPF 30 • Machine-washable It is worth noting that the volume of wool in the garment affects its properties. The more wool in the garment, the more noticeable the properties. We use recycled wool in several of our products.

BASE LAYER Underwear made from 100 % merino wool Our superior quality merino wool is sourced from carefully selected producers. Because we use the finest and softest wool fibers, our products are extremely soft and comfortable. Merino wool is also a renewable resource which is highly durable and biodegradable. • Regulates temperature – provides great insulation in the cold, but has a cooling effect when it’s warm. • Lightweight and comfortable • Good wicking properties • Absorbs moisture – absorbs up to 30 % of its own weight. It takes longer before the garment feels damp against the skin. At the same time, it provides great insulation, and feels warm and dry. • Repels dirt and grime and perspiration odors – garments made from 100 % merino can be worn for longer without needing to be washed. • Machine-washable What does “micron” mean? Micron is a scale that describes the fineness and softness of wool fibers. Micron values of less than 19 are regarded as fine wool. The lower the micron value, the less itchy the wool. Guaranteed mulesing-free! We guarantee that the merino wool we use is sourced from sheep that have NOT been subjected to mulesing. Read more at www. bergans.no. Sun protection = 25+ Merino wool fibers absorb harmful radiation and protect against UVA and UVB rays. All our products in 100 % merino wool have a minimum UPF value of 25.

Go for Soleie when you're looking for a basic garment that can be used all year round.

Akeleie Akeleie is part of the hybrid series, a series of two-layer wollen base layer made from a combination of Merino wool and Polyester. The two-layer design allows the fabric to retain more air for enhanced insulation. The combination of wool and synthetic fibers makes the garments highly wicking and provides insulation under different temperature conditions and activity levels. The Akeleie range is also suitable for those who do not want to have wool right next to their skin. Akeleie can be used both as an innermost layer, right next to the skin, or as a midlayer on top of a thin shirt in 100 % Merino wool by Bergans.

DNT + Bergans The cooperation’s goal is to contribute to giving people as many good outdoor experiences as possible. Proper clothing is a prerequisite for good outdoor experiences under the sometimes challenging conditions in the Norwegian mountains. Communication with the Trekking Association and the organization’s members gives Bergans important feedback that contributes to creating the best possible equipment for trekking in the forest and mountains.

We have improved the award winner SPINE®ADJUSTABLE is our very latest carrying system and is a further enhancement of the test and award-winning system, SPINE®. The innovation means that you can move virtually independently of the backpack. The system forms part of our new backpack series, Trollhetta. Read all about Trollhetta and SPINE®ADJUSTABLE from page 102.

Robust standard When we launched the carrying system QSS (Quattro Stabilizing System) in 1993, we set the standard for the development of backpacks for many years to come. The QSS system has since been continually enhanced and improved in order to remain at the forefront and satisfy modern requirements.

Timely and transparent marketing This illustration accompanied the marketing of Bergans for several decades. The message is quite clear: with a Bergans carrier, you can ski effortlessly to the highest summit. Indeed, you will have had time to enjoy a pipe before the next person reaches the summit. Those were the days!

A big advantage for small backs 2GO is this year’s latest innovation within school bags. The unique feature of the 2GO is that it has adjustable torso length. This provides radically enhanced carrying comfort for the child. 2GO also has a whole range of other smart functions and subtleties. See all packs from page 116.

BACKPACKS An expedition in innovations Bergans’ history began in 1908, when Ole F. Bergan, with simple means, invented the frame pack. His desire to blend functionality, comfort and quality is still our mantra when we develop innovate hiking equipment over one hundred years later. It all started with backpacks, subsequently progressing to tents, sleeping bags, canoes, clothing and much, much more – all developed to give you a great outdoor experience.

LATERAL FLEXION

When you walk, your hips and shoulders go up and down during every step you make. Your shoulders go in the opposite direction of your hips, which makes your back bend alternately to the right and left in line with the steps you take. The helical frame allows the carrying system to bend both ways and shape itself to the body’s natural movements.

TWISTING

In addition to the upward and downward movement of hips and shoulders, they also go forwards and backwards when you walk. Shoulders and hips move in opposite directions, which leads to a twisting of your torso. While a traditional backpack will prevent this natural movement, the helical-shaped spring frame twists along with your body.

New SPINE® ADJUSTABLE SPINE®ADJUSTABLE is a further enhancement of Bergans’ patented and prize winning SPINE® carrying system, boasting new features such as the ingenious height-adjustable back. A custom-designed spring steel frame literally represents the backbone of the SPINE®ADJUSTABLE construction. This is what makes the carrying system just as mobile in all directions as your own spine. SPINE®ADJUSTABLE is attached to the pack at just one point mid-back, which frees the body, allowing the back, hips and shoulders to move independently of the pack. The major innovation in SPINE®ADJUSTABLE is the new torso length adjustability of the frame. This means that the pack can be adjusted for a perfect fit to your body, ensuring radically enhanced carrying comfort and the ultimate in flexibility. But the new Trollhetta also boasts a multitude of other new adjustment options and technical features such as new improved top tension straps, and a brand new 3D-style hip belt for superb support

STABILITY

The greater the movement, the greater the resistance of the spring frame. The range of movement is limited to prevent instability. You can also brace the system by tightening the shoulder straps and the hip belt.

The helical structure works like a shock-absorbing spring during walking.

Anatomical Backpacks The feeling of a light load How heavy a backpack feels depends on how it is carried, and how the backpack is carried is determined by the shoulder harness. A good and properly adjusted carrying system will give you the feeling of a light load, even when the backpack is heavy.

Overskrift You maybe hadn’t realized it, but carrying things is fun. For children under ten years it is reasonable for them to carry up to 10% of their own body weight on a day trip. Not a lot, in other words, but enough to feel that they are contributing and carrying their part of the load. Our day packs for children weigh very little and are extremely comfortable to wear.

New 2Go with Bergans QuickAdjust™ Small backs with a lot to carry deserve only the best! Which is why Bergans created its pioneering 2GO school pack featuring the QuickAdjust™, carrying system for back length adjustment. The time’s come to give kids the quality and comfort they deserve!

Integrated rain cover and inner pocket with key attachment clip are smart details on the 2GO.

QuickAdjust™ is a carrying system featuring in Bergans’ full-size backpacks. Thanks to this system, the school pack is easily adjustable to the length of the child’s back. With proper adjustment, the pack fits correctly, distributes the weight of the contents better and provides greatly improved comfort for the child. Thanks to the adjustable back length, the pack will also keep up with the child’s growth and development for several years, meaning it takes longer before the child “grows out of “ the pack. 2GO is available in two sizes, 24 and 32 L. Both sizes offer a large, roomy main compartment, and multiple handy pockets to make it easier to organize the school day. The pack also features decorative reflective details. With a Bergans 2GO on board, the hike to school just got a whole lot easier!

WRAP

Is a fun pencil case that can be stored horizontally or vertically. Choose a design that suits your 2GO! Wrap is sold separately.

«Wiglo® LT4 is my favourite for various trips. The tent is quick and easy to set up. Good guy lines and storm flaps make it extremely stable in windy conditions. It is spacious enough for four people with full winter gear. If you want to keep the heat in, you just have to shut off the inner tent at the top and lower it. Three entrances make it easy to get equipment in and out. On a hot summer’s day, these entrances are fine in terms of ventilation. Basically a cracking good tent that I have enjoyed using.»

The Wiglo® LT4 is a sturdy, all-season tent, with plenty of space for 4 people and baggage. The tent features a large main entrance at the front and two smaller openings on the sides, large ventilation openings, storm mats, and plenty of guylines.

A development of the Lavvo’s already good specifications, which uses a much greater share of the floor area. In addition to the traditional middle pole, there are 3 poles stretching the side walls out. This provides more space and enables you to roll up the outer tent on all three bows.

SLEEPING BAGS A good night’s sleep is vital, in particular when you are on a trip. Body and mind both need rest in order to function at their best the next day. This is a matter of comfort, but getting damp and cold may also be a direct cause of health problems. The right sleeping bag is perhaps the most important item in your luggage.

HANS KRISTIAN KROGH-HANSSEN


139

DOWN

SYNTHETIC FIBER

Down is a superior insulator per weight and is therefore used for light bags. Down is also softer and more comfortable to lie in. Down is often preferred because it fills the available volume easily, i.e., it reduces the volume of circulating air inside.

Synthetic fiber is heavier but cheaper than down. How much cheaper depends on weight, expansion property, softness, and compressibility.

Choose the right sleeping bag

WINTER

This is a sleeping bag intended for outdoor use during the winter. All winter bags have a heat retention collar that prevents cold air from getting into the bag. The warmest option we have is a combination of Senja Ice and Senja Snow which provides a comfortable temperature even at -36°C. This is a sleeping bag which is more suited to expeditions.

3

1

1. Filled channel around the opening (except on compact sleeping bags)

3 SEASONS

These are more all-round sleeping bags. If you open up the zip for ventilation, it can be used in the summer. It will also keep you warm in the spring and autumn provided the temperature doesn’t drop too far below zero. If you freeze easily, it might be a better option to buy a 3-season sleeping bag rather than a summer sleeping bag. 3-season sleeping bags are also fitted with a heat retention collar.

2

2. Heat retention collar with elastic as standard on all winter and 3-season bags. The elastic is placed behind the insulation material so as to create as little nuisance as possible. Helps keep the heat inside the bag. 3. Inside pocket in all sleeping bags for safe storage of passport, money, and travel documents (not children’s bag).

SPRING / SUMMER

Summer sleeping bags are suitable for use only at temperatures above zero. They are excellent for camping, backpacking trips, and sleeping indoors. They are lightweight, have a small pack volume, and are easy to pack into your backpack. Like all other sleeping bags for adults, summer sleeping bags have interior pockets with space for tickets, passports, etc.

4. Sturdy, full-length two-way zipper with insulation flap inside the bag. Allows ventilation both at the top and bottom. Mating right and left zipper bags. Bergans uses YKK no. 5, the most commonly used zipper on the market. This makes mating of bags with other brands possible. 5. Foot box with extra insulation.

ALLY CANOE The Ally folding canoe has become a natural first choice for expeditions all over the world.

FREDRIK SCHENHOLM


143

Ally Canoe When you paddle, you experience the environment in new ways. You glide calmly and effortlessly across the landscape. Forest animals don’t shy away from you the way they normally do. Paddling can therefore be perceived as the ideal form of peace of mind.

Some paddlers also seek the thrill of tackling waterfalls and rapids. It is then that you can really feel the enormous forces of the water on your body. You must then rely on your own skills and that the boat holds. It’s hard to prevent the canoe from receiving rough treatment and from hitting a stone hard here and there.

The Ally canoe has a flexible structure that absorbs impacts and shocks. It can’t sink. The strong PVC skin is both sewn and welded and has an extra reinforced bottom. An Ally canoe can be simply stowed in a pack bag and carried on your back. You can even take it on the plane as ordinary baggage.

SELECTING YOUR ALLY CANOE

In order to find a good canoe, it is important that the choice is based on the individual user’s needs and skills. Before you purchase a canoe, you ought to assess where and under which conditions it will be used.

ALLY CANOES ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO CATEGORIES: ALLROUND

All-round canoes have a slightly curved keel line and a tall, curved bow and stern. They offer great stability and loading capacity, and are ideal for trips and expeditions. They are easy to manoeuvre in rivers and rapids, but are just as good for flatwater paddling. Available in green.

FLATWATER

Flatwater canoes are designed for speed and directional stability. They have a straight keel and the bow and stern are straight, pointed and low. They cut through the water without any noticeable deviation caused by crosswinds. These canoes are significantly narrower than the all-round canoes. Beginners will need some time to adjust, but if the canoe is primarily used on flat, calm water, even beginners will get much enjoyment from a flatwater canoe. Available in green and red.

Ally 15´ DR

Ally 16´ DR

Ally 18´ DR

This is the “classical” ALLY canoe, easy to maneuver and with high stability. The keel-line is slightly arched which makes the canoe easy to maneuver under all conditions, especially when paddling white water with technical difficulties.

This canoe should be the first choice for families who like to paddle on trips in all conditions. It is easily paddled, steady and has surprisingly good directional stability, which in the first instance is due to a long, straight keel line. The stems are drawn a little longer down and are narrower than on the other all round models, which means that the canoe cuts through waves and glides exceptionally well on the water.

This big canoe has the same shape as 15´ DR and 16.5´ DR. With a length of 18 feet, this canoe has a wide and long, flat bottom and tumblehome shape. This makes it exceptionally stable, highly buoyant at the bow and it features a very high load capacity.

The canoe is made for 1-2 persons with gear, at the utmost 3 persons without gear. Large volume and high carrying capacity makes it suitable also as a family canoe. ALLY 15’ DR is splendid for fishing and its low weight makes it perfect on trips with portage. A typical all-round canoe for those who paddle under changing conditions on flat water and in rivers.

Ally 17´ DR ALLY 17’ is high performances fast canoe that very well matches up to the fastest fibreglass or kevlar canoes. The tumblehome bottom profile and straight keel line makes it tracks straighter in the waves providing excellent side stability. The low profile and the straight bow and stern make it difficult for the wind to get hold of the canoe. The result is superior directional stability under severe conditions. The ALLY 17’ is mainly an excellent canoe for plain water, meeting all the requirements set for canoes for these conditions. However, due to its high load capacity, it is also well suited for long trips and expeditions in areas without white water. It may be used comfortably by up to 3 people with baggage, but it can also be paddled solo.

Ally 15,5´ DR

Ally 18,5´ DR

This is a very light and solid solo canoe. The boat is symmetrical with the seat positioned just behind center to lift the bow. The molded seat is attached with claw feet to the chine rods. Therefore, the seat can be moved forward, or aft, to allow trimming of the canoe.

This is a splendid canoe for two persons with baggage on week-end to week long trips, or for families with two adults and one child.

This canoe is made for those who need very high load capacity for 3 or 4 persons with baggage. ALLY 18.5’ has a good initial and final stability making you feel safe from the beginning. Due to the optimal speed/ stability ratio, it tracks faster in the water.

MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY A shell garment’s most important weapon in the fi ght against wind and weather is the membrane fi tt ed on the inside of the outer shell. This makes the garment waterproof, windproof and breathable. Modern shell clothing is mainly available with two types of membrane: hydrophilic and microporous. We use the following membranes: Dermizax®NX, Dermizax®, Bergans Element Active® and Bergans Element®. All of these are hydrophilic!

New Vengetind Jacket 1366 Men 1367 Women Shell. 3-layer Dermizax®NX

Dermizax®NX. Dermizax® NX.  Provides maximum protection during particularly demanding activities and weather conditions. The wicking ability is twice as high as for traditional membranes (30,000-50,000 g/m2/24h for 2-layer Dermizax®. Despite this, Dermizax®NX membrane maintains the same high waterproofness that Dermizax® is renowned for (minimum 20,000 millimeters). This is the ultimate fabric for those who want a waterproof garment with the best breathability on the market as well as extremely good freedom of movement that is ideal for active use.

•  Always are wind and waterproof •  Retains its waterproofing and breathability over time •  Has wicking abilities •  Is washable like other textiles

Dermizax®,Bergans Element® and Bergans Element Active® WHAT IS DEMIZAX®?

Dermizax® is a waterproof, windproof, and wicking membrane that is specially developed to provide protection against all kinds of weather while remaining as comfortable as possible. Dermizax® membrane is a hydrophilic material that utilizes moving molecules, as opposed to most other membranes which have micropores. This offers a number of advantages and makes Dermizax® shell clothing the very best on the market thanks to its high performance and superior durability.

BERGANS ELEMENT®

Bergans Element® membrane is intended for moderate-intensity activity, and is specially designed for our Lifestyle & Travel collection. This collection is made up of everyday garments with technical features to withstand Scandinavian winter weather conditions. Bergans Element® membrane withstands a water column of at least 5,000 mm and has wicking abilities at least 5,000 g/m2/24.Any seam in a garment poses a risk of leakage. In garments with Bergans Element® membrane seams are completely or partially sealed with tape. The degree of taping is determined by what kind of use the product is developed for.

ELEMENT ACTIVE®

Bergans Element Active®-membrane are designed for moderate- to high-intensity activity in extreme weather conditions. Bergans rates 5,000 mm as the lower limit for a garment to be termed waterproof. Garments featuring a Bergans Element Active® membrane withstand a water column of at least 10,000 mm and has wicking abilities at least 10,000 g/m2/24. Any seam in a garment poses a risk of leakage. For this reason, all seams in garments featuring Bergans Element Active® are sealed by tape. This guarantees full waterproofing of the product.

Waterproof shell clothing is often divided into three different groups according to quality: 3-LAYER:  Consists of three layers that have been laminated together to make one fabric. The outer layer is made from water-repellent microfiber. The membrane in the middle ensures that the garment is waterproof and wicking. The inner layer, closest to the body, consists of mesh lining that protects the membrane and provides extra durability.

2 ½-LAYER:  Garments made from this material are principally characterized by being very lightweight and offering minimal packing volume, as well as being windproof and waterproof. The mesh lining is replaced by surface treatment on the inside of the membrane. The superior durability of our other 3-layer fabrics is not achieved, but superlight shell clothing is not intended for daily use.

2-LAYER:  Consists of two layers that have been laminated together to make one fabric – an outer fabric in microfibre and the membrane. It also has loose mesh lining next to the body. This lining wicks moisture away from the body, protecting the membrane and retaining body heat. Since garments made from 2-layer fabric have a loose lining, they often feel warmer than 3-layer fabric.

What they all have in common is that the membrane is laminated onto the outer fabric.

MATERIAL DESCRIPTIONS FIELDSENSOR™

Fieldsensor™ is a unique «several layer» netting lining. The inside of the lining quickly absorbs moisture which is transported to the outside of the lining. From there the moisture is spread over a large evaporation surface. The lining dries quicker and feels drier and more pleasant than ordinary lining qualities.

RECCO®

RECCO® is a maintenance-free reflector which helps search and rescue crews during searches for people who have been caught in an avalanche. At Bergans we have chosen to sew in a RECCO® search reflector in some of our products. This neither guarantees that you will be found, nor that you will not be caught in an avalanche. But where a RECCO® searcher is in place, the reflector on the garments can be of good help for search and rescue crews. The RECCO® reflector is maintenance-free and does not require activation. It functions as a transporter of radio waves, cannot activate alarm systems, and will not be destroyed by de-magnetization.

TACTEL® • • • • •

The innate strength of Tactel® fibers enables us to produce garments that are three times as strong (resilient) as garments made from natural fibers. According to bending rigidity tests, Tactel® fibers are at least twice as soft as most other fibers. Clothes made from Tactel ® fibers are at least 20% lighter than most other garments that offer the same level of protection. One of the most important qualities with regards to comfort is that the garment breathes. Clothes made from Tactel® fibers meet this requirement. Tactel® fibers dry eight times quicker than cotton.

EPIC®

EPIC™ is a windproof and highly water-repellent cotton material with great breathability. The cotton fibres are encapsulated in a silicone barrier that reduces the material’s absorptive properties. This increased durability and breathability, reduces heat loss and drying time, and helps the fabric repel dirt more easily. EPIC™ is a protective material for use in any weather. The silicone used in this process is derived from sand and breaks down to sand – there are no waste products from the encapsulation process.

ORGANIC

These garments are made with organic cotton. Organically grown cotton is a much more environmentally friendly way to grow cotton, both for the environment and for the cotton zfarmers. No fertilizers, gene modified organisms.
