So in some cases they made their own. That\u2019s how the British brand Berghaus got started. In 1966, a pair of working-class adventurers, Gordon Davison and Peter Lockey, couldn\u2019t find a kit that was up to the all-weather hill scrambles and alpine climbs they were chasing. So they made their own, and as word spread, they began selling gear to fellow climbers from a shopfront in Newcastle, the urban heart of England\u2019s blustery northeast.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text-brand-primary underline hover:text-brand-primary\/85 break-words overflow-wrap-anywhere underline-offset-[3px]\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-afl-p=\"2\" href=\"https:\/\/sr.studiostack.com\/c\/link?l=2315237&amp;s=2315228\">Berghaus<\/a> quickly earned the loyalty of leading mountaineers and, after Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher gave a legendary performance wearing the company\u2019s signature Meru jacket, the brand became an icon of British street culture. Sightings were rare on this side of the Atlantic, until Berghaus launched its own British invasion last fall. Now the technical apparel brand\u2014famous for its unconditional you-break-it-we-fix-it guarantee\u2014is available at REI stores nationwide. These are a few of our favorite pieces.<\/p>\n<h2>Rain-Motion Jacket<\/h2>\n<p>What do England\u2019s Northeast and America\u2019s Pacific Northwest have in common?
