Innovation since 1946
ODLO's performance apparel is designed in Switzerland from the inside out, iterating on an industry-defining approach to innovation pioneered by our founder, Odd Roar Lofterød Sr. A visionary in performance fabrics, Lofterød created the first elastic, heat-regulating suit for cross-country skiers and speed skaters worn by the entire Norwegian national team at the 1964 Olympics. In 1972 in Sapporo, 25 national teams wore another ODLO innovation – the ODLO Thermic - a legacy we've built on ever since.
We're proud of this heritage and today apply the same standards of performance to everything we create, using a dynamic design process to deliver pioneering high-performance apparel for everyday athletes wherever they choose to explore.
