Our Story
FROM FUNCTION TO EXPLORATION
Where it All Began...
In 1984, 21-year-old Herman Vliehuis opened a small workwear shop in Zwolle, the Netherlands. What began as a search for durable workwear soon took a new direction, as customers, drawn by the gear’s functional performance, used it for skiing, hiking, and other adventures. Inspired by their stories, Herman set out to create gear designed for exploration.
Years later, Herman met Frank Z, a skier and outdoor enthusiast who had begun crafting his own solutions to the shortcomings of existing gear. Their shared vision for performance and innovation sparked a partnership that combined Herman’s functional expertise with Frank’s relentless pursuit of quality and innovation.
In 2007, TITTALLON was born—a brand rooted in a love of nature and a commitment to empowering every journey. Today, it stands as a testament to their belief: great gear inspires confidence and elevates every adventure.
Our Philosophy
TRUST IN TALENT
TURN TO ALL OF NATURE
The name TITTALLON embodies our core belief — Trust In Talent, Turn to ALL Of Nature. It represents our commitment to using human ingenuity and craftsmanship to create outdoor gear that meets nature’s challenges. Guided by FUNCTION, PASSION, and INNOVATION, we empower every adventure with confidence and performance.
FUNCTION
Design Driven by Demands
At TITTALLON, we view outdoor aesthetics as a reflection of human ingenuity—functional solutions to nature’s challenges. Each design is purpose-driven, crafted with a deep understanding of the environments in which our gear performs.
Guided by the "3+N" principle, our designs focus on three core attributes—Protection, Comfort, and Ease—combined with specialized features tailored for various environments and activities. Whether skiing, hiking, or exploring the wilderness, our gear is built to deliver peak performance in every situation.
PASSION

With over 30 years of craftsmanship, our passion drives everything we do. We don’t just make gear; we pour our heart into every stitch, seam, and detail. This expertise enables us to create products that perform at the highest level and inspire confidence in those who wear them.
TITTALLON amplifies this passion by supporting top athletes and major winter sports events, including the 2014 Sochi and 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. By providing world-class ski gear to elite competitors, we empower athletes and adventurers to reach their peak and experience the best of nature.

Innovation is at the heart of TITTALLON. We constantly push technological boundaries to create the best solutions for outdoor performance. From advanced fabrics to ergonomic designs, we embrace cutting-edge innovations to ensure our products exceed the expectations of modern adventurers.
TITTALLON proudly produces FIS-certified competition suits and holds over 50 patents and design innovations, leading the way in performance-enhancing outdoor gear that pushes the limits of possibility.
Sustainability & Ecology
DESIGNED WITH PLANET IN MIND
At TITTALLON, sustainability is more than a concept—it’s a commitment to preserving the natural world we explore. We utilize non-toxic, eco-friendly membranes and dyes, ensuring that each product minimizes its environmental footprint. Our RECYCLED series exemplifies this commitment, using regenerated materials like recycled plastic bottles. These fabrics not only offer a cotton-like feel but also provide the essential performance features of windproofing and waterproofing. With every piece, we aim to create gear that supports both your adventure and the planet’s future.
