The Expedition
First Steps
From humble beginnings in the alpine village of Monestier-de-Clermont, Moncler's signature quilted 'duvet' jackets equipped explorers Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli for their successful expedition to the summit of the world's second highest mountain range: K2.
70 years later, the pioneering DNA and mountaineering spirit of that original jacket lives on in every Moncler garment. Our quest for performance, protection, endurance, and warmth in the world's most challenging conditions continues to define our brand and push us to greater heights in future.
