Brynje is a norwegian family business from Larvik who has been world-renowned for its quality, functionality, and durability since 1887.
It all began when Jacob Jacobsen arrived by boat in Larvik and established “J. Jacobsen Trikotasje og Konfeksjon”. In 1921, Henrik Brun from Lunda farm in Uvdal developed the very first mesh shirt in history. The mesh shirt resembled the historic Viking armour known as “Brynje”. The “Brynje-shirt” or “health shirt”, was developed in collaboration with the Norwegian armed forces. It soon became an essential part of equipment for challenging expeditions to the world’s extremes. When Hillary and Tenzing became the first humans to ascend Mount Everest in 1953, they wore Brynje mesh next to their skin.
Over the years, Brynje has equipped numerous expeditions to the planet’s most hostile environments. Whether it is the highest mountains, the deepest oceans, the coldest poles or the hottest deserts, Brynje’s garments have proven to perform and protect. Today, Brynje’s mesh, wool, and shell clothing are used by polar guides, people in demanding professions, and outdoor enthusiasts. When Brynjes garments handle the toughest places on earth, they will serve you well too.
Mesh clothing is Henrik Brun’s invention, but today there are many Brynje-like copies on the market. At Brynje you can be 100% sure that you are getting the original mesh developed by Brynje.
