BERING

A HALF CENTURY OF EXPERIENCE IN PROTECTING MANKIND…

Our Brand was created back in 1951. The company that was to give birth to Bering was called Plastex. A group whose primary business was based on designing and making protective clothing for bikers and with a subsidiary company specialising in making clothes for blue water sailors. A life that exposed men to the rigours of life on-board under demanding conditions and in the face of the elements (constant dampness, cold, salt abrasion…). From able seaman to captain, each and everyone of the crew is looking for ultra efficient but also comfortable clothing. Naturally the selection criteria also include the absence of any hindrance or restriction affecting everyday movement.

The Bering name was taken later to underline the purpose of the company's products.
The Bering Strait is the point where Alaska and Siberia come together, located under the 60° parallel. The Bering Strait is icebound many months every year. Swept by violent winds and marked by an extremely harsh climate, this inhospitable environment is only inhabited by animals with organisms and protection systems suited to resisting these climate conditions.
