Icebreaker - Osprey

Icebreaker started in New Zealand in 1994 and has grown steadily throughout the world ever since. This luxurious and much sought after clothing brand was conceived and designed with a philosophy of sustainability; using natural fibres, and maintaining strict environmental and social ethics. Paying close attention to animal welfare, they provide natural, technical, outdoor products as an alternative to synthetic clothing.
Mike Pfotenhauer was in California, at the seat of a single sewing machine, with a head full of ideas way back in 1974 when he started up the company that was to become Osprey. Even then, he had the pioneering spirit and the desire to design and build innovative backpacks to the highest quality for use on the highest mountains,the remotest islands and everywhere in between.
