Why? Well, in 2008, I travelled to <strong>Iceland<\/strong> for the very first time, and I must say, the country is nothing short of amazing. An absolutely breath-taking landscape full of waterfalls, glaciers, lakes and, of course, geysers. When you have all that beauty right before your very eyes, it\u2019s easy to forget about the winds and rain, especially when wearing the proper clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, of course, the little Nordic island nation has plenty to offer when it comes to clothing as well. Since 1926, Iceland has been the home of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/brands\/66-north\/\"><strong>66\u00b0 North<\/strong><\/a>. What originally began as a tragic story has now become a true success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-iceland-you-wear-wool-or-66-north-or-both\">In Iceland you wear wool or 66\u00b0 North &#8211; or both<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It became clear very quickly that Icelanders either wear traditional wool products or sport 66\u00b0 North\u2019s logo on their chest. There\u2019s nothing in between. Well, that\u2019s not entirely true. It\u2019s not uncommon to see them wearing a combination of wool and high-tech apparel. I really had to get used to the sight of wool socks beneath a pair of Gore-Tex trousers!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-for-everyone.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-for-everyone-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"66\u00b0North Functional apparel with style\" class=\"wp-image-1199\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">66\u00b0 North is standard apparel in Iceland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In fact, the results of a survey on the island indicate that <strong>99% of households in Iceland have at least one article of clothing from 66\u00b0 North<\/strong>. In other words, you\u2019ll see people of all ages wearing 66\u00b0 North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the weather can be quite harsh on the Nordic island and even the youngest Icelanders need weather protection, 66\u00b0 North produce <strong>bodysuits for babies made from Polartec Fleece<\/strong> as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/down-jackets\/\">down jackets<\/a> for infants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/brands\/66-north\/outdoor-clothing\/\">66\u00b0 North apparel<\/a> for adolescents and adults as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-tragic-beginning-to-a-story-of-incredible-success\">The tragic beginning to a story of incredible success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It pains me to say that the <strong>founding of the company in 1926<\/strong> resulted from a family tragedy. The <strong>founder Hans Kristj\u00e1nsson\u2019s brother<\/strong> was a fisherman and travelling in the Arctic Ocean. All of the sudden, the boat\u2019s motor was damaged and he unfortunately <strong>froze to death<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-workwear.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-workwear-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"66\u00b0North Functional apparel with style\" class=\"wp-image-1208\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A fisherman in 66\u00b0North<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This has been the driving force behind Kristj\u00e1nsson and the company since its founding in the 20th century. 66\u00b0 North has made it their mission to protect people from the harsh conditions of the North Atlantic. In the beginning, the company really dedicated itself to this mission, manufacturing workwear solely for fisherman and workers who were constantly exposed to the harsh weather conditions. And they still do this today, but now the Icelandic clothing company supplies the fisherman of the North Atlantic with workwear from their <strong>Workwear Collection<\/strong>, which is no less comprehensive than their outdoor collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-arctic-circle-in-the-name\">The Arctic Circle in the name<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-iceland-map.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-iceland-map-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"66\u00b0North Functional apparel with style\" class=\"wp-image-1200\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Map of Iceland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The fact that the 66\u00b0 North are proud of their home is clear from the name. 66\u00b0 North refers to the <strong>latitudinal line of the Arctic Circle<\/strong>. The <strong>Arctic Circle<\/strong> touches Iceland in the North and is thus practically \u201cvisible\u201d from where the company was founded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, despite all of their international success, the company is still based in Iceland. And their entire collection is manufactured in Europe, primarily in the Baltic countries. Good to know, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stylish-functional-apparel-for-everyday-wear-and-outdoor-activities\">Stylish functional apparel for everyday wear and outdoor activities<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-snow.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-snow-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"66\u00b0North Functional apparel with style\" class=\"wp-image-1207\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A winter day in Iceland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Regardless of where you stand on <strong>the combination of fashion and functional apparel<\/strong>, you have to admit that 66\u00b0 North\u2019s take on it seems pretty authentic. After all, living in Iceland forces you to wear weather protective clothing all day, every day and almost all year round. When you\u2019re shopping, going over to your neighbours for a cup of coffee or tea or just going about your daily life, protective clothing is a must, and you don\u2019t always want to look like an expedition mountaineer headed to the Himalayas, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result? Over the years, 66\u00b0 North has learned to make clothing that is both <strong>functional and fashionable<\/strong>! A lot of the clothing looks so good that it\u2019s hard to say whether its a stylish functional garment or a functional piece of fashion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-retro-scandinavian-style-with-66-n\">Retro Scandinavian style with 66\u00b0N&#8230;<img class=\"\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\"><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-retro-look.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-retro-look-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"66\u00b0North Functional apparel with style\" class=\"wp-image-1203\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Retro fashion with 66\u00b0N<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This clothing has such a long tradition that the brand tends to rerelease <strong>their classic pieces<\/strong>. Under the name of <strong>66\u00b0N<\/strong>, the company presents clothing similar or identical to those made in the 1970s down to the very last detail. They use the same traditional materials and cuts that are just as trendy today as they were back then. By the way, according to 66\u00b0 North, you can still find the occasional original piece from the 1970s in Reykjavik. Just FYI, in case you\u2019re into that kind of thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-or-high-performance-clothing-from-the-arctic-edition\">&#8230;or high-performance clothing from the Arctic Edition<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-arctic-edition.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-arctic-edition-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"66\u00b0North Functional apparel with style\" class=\"wp-image-1198\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Arctic Edition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re the adventurous type and want <strong>maximum performance<\/strong> out of your clothing, you should have a look at the Arctic Edition. Only clothes <strong>designed for the harshest conditions<\/strong> using the best materials and technology can bear this edition\u2019s exclusive \u201cTRIANGLE\u201d logo. This line of clothing was developed in collaboration with <strong>Leifur \u00d6rn Svavarsson<\/strong>, one of Iceland\u2019s most acclaimed adventurers and senior member of the Icelandic Search and Rescue Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Arctic Edition line includes products such as the <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/66-north-snaefell-jacket-waterproof-jacket-bf\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Snaefall Jacket<\/a>, which is extremely popular and was the winner of the ISPO Outdoor Award 2011 and the S.O.G. Award 2011. This was not at all surprising, as it is one of the most outstanding jackets that utilises the Polartec material \u201cNeoShell\u201d. Also part of the Arctic Edition is the <a title=\"\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Vatnaj\u00f6kull Series<\/a>, a collection consisting of softshell and PrimaLoft jackets and trousers for men and women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-there-s-something-for-everybody-even-for-me\">There\u2019s something for everybody&#8230;even for me<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-kaldi-vik.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/66North-Functional-apparel-kaldi-vik-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"66\u00b0North Functional apparel with style\" class=\"wp-image-1201\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kaldi and Vik<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>However, some of 66\u00b0 North\u2019s bestsellers are their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/brands\/66-north\/fleece-jackets\/\"><strong>fleece jackets<\/strong><\/a>, which stand out from other mid-layers on the market thanks to their quality and materials. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/66-north-womens-kaldi-sweater-wool-jacket\/\"><strong>Kaldi Wool Sweater<\/strong><\/a> (which is also available with a hood) for women boasts a traditional, yet stylish design that looks absolutely stunning. Another great example is the classic <strong>VIK Hooded Sweater<\/strong> &#8211; a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/fleece-jackets\/\">fleece jacket<\/a> with an extremely high collar and a curved zip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was travelling around the island, I quickly fell in love with the 66\u00b0 North fleece, not only because the Polartec fleece kept me warm, but also because I was always asked about it by other people who had already travelled to Iceland. Plus, it\u2019s such a quality fleece that it remains an integral part of my gear, wardrobe and everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-66-north-at-alpine-trek\">66\u00b0 North at Alpine Trek<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, all of Alpine Trek was just as impressed by the products as I was, so it comes as no surprise that we now have an array of <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/brands\/66-north\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\"> 66\u00b0 North apparel<\/a> in our shop.
