About Fjell
Fjell started in 2019 in Bergen, the rainiest city in Norway, after its founders got tired of gear that failed on the first real hike. A tent that leaked at 8mm/h rainfall and a bottle that lost its heat by lunchtime were the final straw. The first product, the Thermo Bottle 750, was tested through an entire winter on the Hardangervidda plateau before it ever went on sale.
Every product is designed in-house in Bergen and manufactured in a single factory in Donggang, China, that Fjell has worked with since 2020. The team runs a 3-stage field test on every batch: 48 hours at -15 °C in a cold chamber, a 2,000-cycle zipper test for tents, and a 1.5 m drop test on concrete for bottles. Products that fail any stage do not ship.
Today Fjell sells across 6 Amazon EU marketplaces (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway) and ships from a single Bergen warehouse to keep quality control centralized. The lineup stays deliberately small, 3 core products, because the team believes a brand that makes everything ends up testing nothing properly.
01
Tested in real cold, not a lab brochure
Every insulation claim on this page comes from a logged test run (date, temperature, duration), not a marketing estimate. Full test logs are available on request via hello@fjell-outdoor.com.
02
PFAS-free by default
All Fjell tents use a PFAS-free DWR (durable water repellent) coating since the 2023 product line. No product in the current catalog contains per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances.
03
Repair over replace
Fjell stocks spare tent poles, zipper pulls, and bottle lids for every product still sold, shipped free within the 5-year warranty window instead of replacing the whole unit.
