About 66°North
66°North is an Icelandic outerwear company with a legacy dating back nearly a century, specializing in high-performance clothing designed to withstand extreme weather conditions.
Named after the latitude of the Arctic Circle that touches Iceland, the brand was originally established to provide protective workwear for Icelandic fishermen braving the harsh North Atlantic elements. This practical origin continues to inform the company's design philosophy of uncompromising quality and functional durability.
The brand's product range has evolved to include technical outdoor apparel, layering systems, and accessories that serve both professional needs and everyday wear in challenging climates. Each piece combines traditional knowledge of cold-weather protection with contemporary technical innovations and materials.
66°North's design aesthetic reflects Iceland's minimalist sensibility, emphasizing clean lines and practical functionality over passing trends. Their garments are built to last, often becoming long-term investments for their owners and contradicting the disposable nature of much modern clothing.
Sustainability features prominently in the brand's operations, with a focus on creating durable products that need less frequent replacement. The company emphasizes responsible manufacturing and has achieved carbon neutrality in their operations since 2019.
As global interest in Nordic design and technical outerwear has grown, 66°North has expanded internationally while maintaining its Icelandic heritage and commitment to creating garments that stand up to nature's most demanding conditions.
