THE ORIGINS

The origins of the name lie in its very roots: Moncler is in fact the abbreviation of Monestier-de-Clermont, a mountain village near Grenoble. Here, René Ramillon and Andrè Vincent founded in 1952 the Company which gave life to the renowned down jacket, creating garments conceived to protect workers who wore them over their overalls, that offered high resistance and protection against the harshest climates and that were tested in a variety of expeditions.

THE EXPEDITIONS

French mountaineer Lionel Terray first noticed Moncler products and foresaw their potential. The result was the specialist range “Moncler pour Lionel Terray”. In 1954, Moncler’s down jackets were chosen to equip the Italian expedition to K2, which culminated in the conquest of the world’s second highest summit by Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli. In 1955, they equipped the expedition on the Makalù.
