66°North

66° North combines the longstanding Icelandic virtues of resilience, making things that last, never wasting anything, and harmony with nature, alongside modern best practices in design, production, and supply chain management to create a brand that is carbon neutral, circular-- the more it grows, the more good it does—and an example of a new (yet also very old) kind of sustainable company. 66°North was founded in 1926 by Hans Kristjánsson with the purpose of making protective clothing for Icelandic fishermen and workers braving the North Atlantic elements. Hans Kristjansson lived in Suðureyri in Súgandafjörður in Westfjords of Iceland where weather conditions were very harsh and suitable clothing was simply a matter of life and death for Icelandic fishermen. Challenging the weather for nine decadesWinter is never very far away at 66°North. The Icelandic weather is infamous for being extremely unpredictable, offering different combinations of rain, wind, snow and sun every day. We’ve been challenging it for over nine decades; so we know a thing or two about versatility. Our philosophy has always been that weather shouldn’t be an obstacle when it comes to going places. Our clothing is designed to be comfortable in everyday life but at the same time keep you prepared for the worst. 66° North shop is inside the Greenhouse. 66° North Austurmörk 6 810 Hveragerði Sími: 464 7336 Vefsíða: www.thegreenhouse.is Netfang: info@thegreenhouse.is Sími: 464 7336
