Icepeak: The Brand’s Origins and History

Icepeak was founded in 1996 in Lahti, Finland, as part of the Luhta Sportswear Company, which was established in 1907, making it one of Finland’s oldest and largest fashion companies. While Luhta had carried on the tradition of Finnish sportswear for nearly a century, Icepeak was created to meet a new demand: offering technical sports and outdoor clothing that is high-performance, affordable, and suitable for the whole family.

The brand quickly established itself in the European market and is now distributed in over 50 countries, with a strong presence in Germany, France, Austria, Italy, and the Netherlands.

The brand is also known for its commitment to elite sports: it outfitted the Finnish national team forthe 2020 Tokyo and 2022 BeijingOlympic Games, before the torch was passed to its sister brand Rukka starting with the 2024 Paris Games.
