Berghaus is a British outdoor brand founded in 1966 by climbers Peter Lockey and Gordon Davison, who first imported gear for their Newcastle shop, LD Mountain Centre. Pentland Brands has owned it since 1993, and the company now operates from Sunderland. The range covers Gore-Tex shells, Hydrodown insulation, fleeces and rucksacks, with the technical Extrem line at the top and the Dean Street collection reissuing 1980s and 1990s archive designs for streetwear buyers. Berghaus gained B Corp certification in 2023, runs the Repairhaus repair service, and is expanding into North America.
