We are very proud of our history. Ole F. Bergan (born in
Tønsberg) invented the Bergans packframe, and already in 1908 he had patented the frame carrying system.
This is the same fundamental idea on which the construction of today´s modern backpacks are based. Very soon, the products became well-known and many expedition leaders choose Bergans backpacks. The Norwegian explorer, Roald Amundsen, used Bergans equipment on all his major expeditions. Bergans carrying system became standard equipment in the Norwegian army as early as in 1914. Over the years, a dozen other armies have used Bergans backpacks. | Numerous Bergans patents have been born since Bergans was established in 1908 (no other rucksack manufacturer has such long experience). Inherent in this, along with creative ideas, are intensive research, modern, ergonomic design and stringent quality controls.Our product development team counts of doctors, physioterapeuts, and specialists in anatomi. In addition to close cooperation with all categories of users. This forms the basis of our product development and high quality. |
