About Peak Performance
The Swedish success story
The globally respected Peak Performance brand is considered the largest Scandinavian manufacturer of functional leisure and sportswear. Since 1986, it has presented versatile collections of ski pants, ski jackets, sweaters and other products for various outdoor activities.
Founded in the mountain village of Åre in the Swedish province of Jämtland, the label was the brainchild of several avid skiers:- Stefan Engström, a successful mogul skier in the world class,
- Peter Blom, the editor-in-chief of Sweden's most important ski magazine at the time,
- the artistic director and designer Christer Mårtensson and
- Jonas Ottosson, a former alpine skier and trader who joined the team a short time later.
Together they looked for ways to implement their ideas of clothing for skiing with Peak Performance. First-class functionality and a cool, smart, yet simple, not too flashy design were the focus of their considerations from the very beginning. They countered the waste and superficiality at the end of the 1980s with authentic, convincing quality. The team drew inspiration from the unusual conditions in Åre. Unpredictable weather, extreme cold, darkness and difficult snow conditions demand innovative technical solutions. Quickly, the excellent ski jackets and ski pants won the trust of winter sports enthusiasts. In the following decade, Peak Performance managed to establish its label emphatically on the international market.
Sustainable concept and durable products
Peak Performance attaches great importance to durable clothing. Classic cuts with timeless functions, colors and looks underline this claim. As a result, the high-quality pieces find their permanent place in the closet for a long time. To minimize wear and tear, high standards apply to the durable materials and manufacturing. Through its retailers and online, Peak Performance offers a special repair service. Partnership relationships with suppliers and a shared code of conduct provide the necessary transparency.
The brand works with reputable, independent organizations such as the Sustainable Fashion Coalition trade organization. It is committed to social progress, sustainability and the production of clothing that is less harmful to the environment. This includes reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and the use of chemicals that are not problematic for the air, water and soil.
With animal welfare in mind, Peak Performance does not accept feathers and down plucked from live animals or materials from endangered species. Hides and skins used come exclusively from farm animals. The origin can be traced in detail. Merino wool from sheep that are subject to so-called "mulesing" is rejected by the brand.FAQ
