Berghaus bags two international awards

Sunderland-headquartered outdoor icons Berghaus have scooped two international awards for their products.

The ISPO Awards are presented each year in Munich to the very best sports and outdoor products from around the world, as judged by a jury of experts.

Berghaus has won two of the 2014 ISPO Awards in the performance apparel outer layer category, for the latest products to emerge from its dedicated MtnHaus innovation team – the ultra-lightweight VapourLight HyperTherm jacket and the Hyper Smock.

The HyperTherm was given a ‘Gold’ award, declared overall best product in the category and shortlisted for ISPO Product of the Year 2014.

David Heath, Berghaus vice president for product and marketing, said: “This is fantastic news for Berghaus and highlights the phenomenal work that our MtnHaus team does. The ISPO Awards are highly sought after in the outdoor industry and attract keen interest from around the world.

“To win two in the same category really shines a spotlight on the fact that we are leading the way in our approach to garment design and development.

“We are really excited about the potential of the VapourLight collection and this major international recognition for two of the range’s key products is a big boost. Berghaus has a fantastic team based here in the North East and winning these awards helps to highlight the great level of innovation that this region can produce in many different sectors.”
