Ulvetanna Down Suit

The Ulvetanna Down Suit offers the ultimate full body protection for high altitude mountaineers and polar explorers.  When Berghaus athlete Leo Houlding decided to attempt a new unclimbed route in Antarctica his clothing requirements were every bit as demanding as the climb itself. I designed an extreme weather down suit built to keep our athletes safe in temperatures as low as -50°C and prevent convective heat loss in wind-speeds up to 100 mph. The approach taken was unique. In 2012 I joined Leo and his team and set up a testing camp on a frozen sea fjord in Arctic Greenland for a week of intensive testing. Using state of the art technology we analysed competitor products and early prototypes to determine how to make the most thermally efficient suit possible. The Ulvetanna down suit is designed and tested to offer the ultimate protection against the harshest conditions the planet can muster.
