Berghaus Partners with AMGA to Support American Guides and Instructors and Redefine Outdoor Excellence
August 7, 2025

SALT LAKE CITY, UT – August 7, 2025 /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ Berghaus, the UK’s storied premium outdoor outerwear brand with over 50 years of crafting gear for serious adventures, is proud to announce an ongoing partnership with the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA). This collaboration signals Berghaus’ commitment to America’s outdoor community, delivering gear built for the demands of the mountains and the guides who call them home.
The partnership with AMGA, the leading authority in mountain guide training and certification, pairs Berghaus with the heart of U.S. mountaineering. Berghaus will outfit AMGA guides with its renowned Extrem range, designed to perform in the toughest conditions—from the Cascades to the Adirondacks. Tested on peaks like Ben Nevis and Everest, Berghaus gear is crafted for those who lead and teach in the wild.
“We’re not just launching a brand in the U.S.; we’re joining a community that lives and breathes the mountains,” said Shane Wallace, North American vice president of portfolio brands. “Partnering with AMGA feels like coming home—our gear is built for those who lead, teach, and inspire in the wild, and together, we’re ready to tell that story.”
To honor this partnership, Berghaus and AMGA will embark on a series of projects this fall and winter, weaving together the spirit of adventure and the craft of guiding. As the presenting sponsor of the 2025 AMGA Awards and Celebration, Berghaus is proud to support an event that honors the accomplishments of guides and instructors across the country. The annual gathering brings the community together to recognize outstanding work, build connections, and reflect on the year’s milestones.
“The AMGA is proud to partner with Berghaus, a brand whose gear and storytelling reflect the heart of American mountain guiding,” said Claudia Morrisson, Partnership Manager at AMGA. “Their support will make a lasting impact on the future of guide and instructor training across the country.”
Media are invited to explore the Berghaus-AMGA partnership and hear from brand and guide leaders. More information on the Berghaus line of outdoor apparel and its history of supporting mountain athletes can be found at Berghaus.com.
