About Kibo
KIBO is a Norwegian brand that was established in 2020. We had our first production in 2021, and since then we have developed the brand to become one of the leading suppliers of fleece accessories in Norway. We produce our very own KIBO original fleece, which maintains our requirements for your needs, quality, aesthetics and comfort. The fleece is an exclusive, thick textile, brushed for softness and with good volume and resistance. Just the way we think a good fleece should be. It is made of 100% polyester with mechanical stretch, which means that it does not need elastane to be mobile. It has optimal warmth-to-weight performance, breathes and dries quickly.
The fleece is an itch-free material and is one of the most heat insulating. Our products are also constructed with two layers to capture the heat on windy days.
In a weather-and-wind country like Norway amongst others, this is a year-round product, so we therefore have colors for all seasons in the range. Whatever your activity preferences are, KIBO will keep you warm, whether you’re in the mountains, in the city, in the countryside or by the water.
Why Kibo?
The owner of KIBO, Mie Argel, had her childhood and upbringing in the Norwegian mountains of Hemsedal. The mountains are the natural element closest to her heart, and when the brand name was to be created, and these are products for outdoor use, the mountains was the first thing that came to mind. Her thoughts went back to 2002, when she was an 18-year-old girl and climbed Kilimanjaro with her father and sister. A trip that took a week, and ended at the summit KIBO (Uhuru Peak) 5895 m.a.s.l., the world’s highest free-standing mountain.
