1973Introduction of Stetind climbing pack

The introduction of the the Stetind backpack represented a new generation of Norwegian mountain gear.

Named after Norway’s iconic granite peak, it was designed for climbers and trekkers who demanded durability, comfort, and functionality in rugged terrain.

With its clean design and dependable carrying system, the Stetind quickly became a trusted companion on countless expeditions – and a symbol of Norway’s growing outdoor culture.

Norrøna takes part in the expedition wave and introduces the Hadeng La backpack – which was developed together with the 1972 Himalayan-expedtion to the summit of Noshaq and the Hadeng La mountain pass in Afghanistan.
