Lagoped designs mountain and outdoor clothing made to last: each piece is entirely manufactured in Europe, free of PFAS, and guaranteed for 5 years. This commitment, upheld since the brand’s creation in Haute-Savoie, guides every material choice and assembly.
An outdoor brand born in the mountains
Lagoped was founded in 2018 at the foot of the Alpine ranges, in a region where the mountains set their own standards: a jacket must withstand a wind-swept collar, hiking pants must endure multiple seasons on trails without tearing. The brand designs its men’s and women’s collections for hiking, trail running, mountaineering, ski touring, gravel biking, and climbing, with a constant goal: to offer technical clothing that truly meets these uses, rather than generic pieces adapted afterward for the outdoor market.
Mountain clothing entirely made in Europe
For Lagoped, manufacturing in Europe is not limited to the final sewing stage. From spinning to final assembly, the majority of production takes place in Europe, allowing close monitoring of each step and ensuring consistent quality from one collection to the next. This industrial setup, more costly than typical offshoring, has been a deliberate choice since the brand’s first pieces.
PFAS-free and recycled materials, a commitment from the start
No Lagoped piece has ever contained PFAS, those persistent pollutants still widely used in water-repellent treatments in the outdoor sector. The brand’s waterproof membranes rely on Sympatex technology, without fluorinated chemical treatments. Recycled materials play a central role in the collections: recycled cotton, recycled polyester, recycled polyamide, recycled wool, all with origins documented by country of production. Lagoped was also the first French and European textile brand to publish the PEF eco-score across its entire range, an indicator based on 16 environmental criteria rather than just the carbon footprint.
Clothing guaranteed for 5 years and repairable
Technical clothing only matters if it lasts. Lagoped guarantees its products for 5 years and offers a repair service rather than replacement, to limit unnecessary renewal of an outdoor wardrobe. This approach aligns with the choice of recycled materials: reducing a garment’s impact first requires making it last, since most of that impact occurs during raw material extraction.
