About Bergson

BERGSON – Uncompromising quality and satisfaction!

For several years BERGSON has been a leading premium quality brand among sportswear and outdoor equipment manufacturers. Initially, BERGSON-labelled products were bought mainly by mature people who welcome a challenge, value high quality and comfort, but soon BERGSON clothing and equipment became fashionable among young, dynamic and active people who not only rate comfort but also pay close attention to modern technical solutions and design.

The BERGSON trademark is not only a synonym of high-quality, it signifies products made from first-rate materials using cutting edge technologies. BERGSON’s trekking and ski collection has been based on Supra–Tex^® membrane technology - a new-generation thermo-active membrane which provides the skin with an optimum microclimate. Supra-Tex^® membrane protects the skin from both too high and too low temperature. One of the key advantages of the material is its extraordinary durability and its tear and damage resistance. BERGSON is also concerned about the safety of skiers. That’s why it has equipped several models of jackets with RECCO^® (Rescue System) – the system enabling the location of a person swept by an avalanche. This skiwear offers a perfect solution not only to professional sportsmen but also to novice skiers.

Creating products which ensure health and safety in even the most extreme conditions is one of the key challenges for BERGSON. Backpacks, jackets, tents and sleeping bags which carry the BERGSON trademark are tested both by professionals during their expeditions and by ordinary people in their every-day lives. The testing process is to ensure the highest quality and comfort of use.

It has already become a tradition of BERGSON to support expeditions undertaken by talented explorers. So far the company has sponsored a number of fascinating expeditions, among them:

* Falvit’s Expedition to Mount Everest (2006)

* Summer expedition to K2 (2005)

* BERGSON Then-Shan Expedition (2004)

* BERGSON Cho Oyu Expedition (2003)

* Winter expedition to K2 (2002)

For three years now BERGSON has organized the BERGSON Winter Challenge – the largest winter event of this kind in the world. The competition is considered to be one of the most difficult and, at the same time, most prestigious world events. BERGSON’s products are thus tested in the most difficult conditions.
