At Berghaus, rigorous testing is key. Berghaus Footwear arrives at the market place having gone through an intensive testing process, both in the lab and extensively in the field - after all, this is where it's going to be used.
All Berghaus Footwear goes through at least 200 hours of field testing. We're not talking about a stroll down the high street, Berghaus really put them through their paces. The test team expect the products to perform and their feedback is invaluable. They don't expect laces to snap, eyelets to work loose or sole units not to grip. This is why Berghaus Footwear is used by the best teams available: KLETS, the Royal Navy's Elite Commandos. These guys make sure that our footwear is the best gear out there.
The KLETS group provides access to true outdoor users through links with Outward Bound centres and Mountain Rescue teams - people who are wearing Berghaus Footwear day-in and day-out in varied conditions. Working alongside KLETS, The Royal Navy's Elite Commandos endure one of the toughest training courses known to man. They train to become specialists in mountain and extreme cold weather warfare and really put Berghaus Footwear to the test. When you rely on your equipment to survive, it must perform and sore feet are definitely not an option!
