What to know about Peak Performance

Swedish technical apparel label founded in Åre in 1986 by skiers Stefan Engström, Peter Blom and Christer Mårtensson, now headquartered in Stockholm. It is a subsidiary of Amer Sports, which bought it in 2018 and was itself taken over by an Anta Sports-led consortium in 2019. The line spans ski shells and insulation, hiking, golf and everyday layers, led by the quilted Helium down jacket family. Design favours clean Scandinavian lines, PFC-free treatments and Responsible Down Standard sourcing. Its first UK store opened in London in late 2024.
