Why is Napapijri using Norwegian flag?

Why does Napapijri have a Norwegian flag? Napapijri is an Italian brand with a Finnish name, so the Norwegian flag can seem like a mystery. But the flag is a nod to the great Norwegian pioneers from the golden age of exploration: people like Roald Amundsen, the leader of the team that conquered the South Pole.

Napapijri, the premium leisurewear brand and subsidiary of VF, is claiming that it has successfully initiated legal proceedings to prohibit Geographical Norway from continuing to infringe on its trademarks.

Our first product, the Bering Bag, merged material expertise and Napapijri's distinct brand code: bright colours, bold logos, and the unmistakable Norwegian flag to symbolise our connection to polar exploration.

The name itself is a variation of the Finnish word "napapiiri", which means Arctic Circle. Its logo is the company's name rendered in half-positive and half-negative block letters to suggest the North Pole and South Pole in graphic form, similar to flag of Greenland.

The Napapijri Rainforest jacket is made from 100% polyamide, a man-made fabric with supreme performance when it comes to durability, warmth, water resistance, washability, colour take-up and finish.

Napapijri stands out as a result of its high quality, iconic designs and innovations. I don't just mean innovative in terms of design, but also in terms of materials, working methods and presentations... in fact, in every area."

Are Napapijri jackets from Norway? No. Napapijri is actually an Italian brand, with a Norwegian flag as its logo and a subtly Finnish name. Inspired by early polar explorers, Napapijri is all about pioneering into the unknown through iconic design.

The Napapijri^® brand began its journey in 1987. It draws its inspiration from the shadow of Europe's highest peak, the Monte Bianco, where an Italian travel bag manufacturer mixed design innovation with style and revolutionized outdoor apparel.

It does not use angora, fur, down or exotic animal skin. It traces some animal products to the first stage of production.

In Swedish and Norwegian, the pronunciation is pæ:r.

Generally, it's fine to machine wash your jacket, and we recommend tumble drying only a low temperature. We do not recommend having your jacket dry cleaned. As Napapijri jackets are made from modern recycled materials, some traditional washing techniques don't apply.

Napapijri winter jackets are warm and water resistant, so can comfortably get you through light snowfall while keeping warm and dry. However, since they are not waterproof jackets, they would not be appropriate for hardcore outdoor exploration in the wintry extremes.

Are Napapijri jackets warm? Yes. All of the iconic Napapijri jackets are wind-resistant and engineered to optimise body temperature control.
