PREMIUM OUTDOOR GEAR, SINCE 1978

From the North Pole Expedition in 1997 to the summit of the 8,000 meter high Makalu, NOMAD outdoor gear has stood the test. Since the early 1970s, NOMAD has been developing the best outdoor products for all kinds of travelers. It all started with the development of the very first Blazer sleeping bag, and since then, NOMAD has grown into a seasoned outdoor expert. With an extensive range of outdoor products, NOMAD provides you with all the essentials to prepare for your journeys.

The face of nomad

The creation of the current NOMAD logo began with a simple, recognizable letter design. After a few years, the brand felt that the letters needed something to capture the 'nomadic spirit'. Then a budding designer, Dolf Dijkstra, went in search of inspiration for NOMAD. After a journey through the dusty corners of a library, he stumbled upon an image of a Tuareg face. It seemed a perfect match with the NOMAD brand and was quickly incorporated into the design. Over the years, the logo has evolved and been refined into the recognizable emblem we see today. It is a testament to the brand's enduring identity as a symbol of exploration and adventure.
