About Us

K2 Extreme Gear has been one of the leading manufacturers of outdoor equipment since 1972. Much has changed since three weathered outdoor lovers started the company, but not the passion for mountain sports, adventure and innovative technology.

Products in the K2 Extreme Gear product line include harnesses, ropes, carabiners, descenders, helmets, pulleys and many accessories. As all people at K2 Extreme Gear are enthusiastic and very experienced sportspeople themselves, they know what extreme sports demand. Our concern has always been to develop and manufacture innovative, high-quality products, incorporating the latest technologies, which surpass the highest safety standards.

The cornerstone of our success is our large research & development department, which is continuously looking to improve our gear by making it safer, lighter and easier to use. Our products are extensively tested by prominent sportspeople before they are put on the market.

Having started as a small company in the Netherlands, K2 Extreme Gear is now an international company with branches in over fifteen different countries in Europe and North and South America.
