Sir Edmund Hillary, or Ed as he liked to be called, was a mountaineer from New Zealand who, with his climbing partner Tenzing Norgay, became the first to climb the world's highest mountain. Their ascent of Mt Everest on 29 May, 1953 was one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century.
Edmund Hillary is a premium lifestyle clothing label that embraces the pioneering spirit and the positive human values of Sir Edmund Hillary whilst creating longevity and authenticity into every product made.
Our garments take their lead from the life of Ed Hillary and our New Zealand roots with a contemporary focus on sustainability. As well as replicating some of the original fabrics and construction methods used in the original expedition, we also use New Zealand merino and recycled materials.
We manufacture around the world, carefully choosing the best factories, many of which are small family owned businesses in New Zealand, Asia, Europe and Nepal.
The collection continues Ed's philanthropic legacy, with 2% of the wholesale value of each item going to support causes that were close to his heart - helping the people of Nepal, and outdoor activities for young people around the world.
“MY FATHER’S ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT LIVES ON THROUGH THE EDMUND HILLARY BRAND. TOGETHER WE CONTINUE HIS LEGACY INTO THE FUTURE.”
Longevity is important to us. We will repair your Edmund Hillary garments for you within the natural life of the product
Proceeds from every sale go to causes close to Ed's heart. Supporting Himalayan Communities and outdoor education
