Daehlie
"My childhood dream of becoming an Olympic champion was an ambitious dream that was fulfilled. Now my dream is to make the best Nordic Sports apparel on the market. Through my skiing career I learned a lot about sports equipment, apparel and also about business. Physical fitness and outdoor activities are still a very important part of my life. I bring to the sports industry the same philosophy and high demand for quality and performance as I did to my ski racing.
The mission of the brand carrying my name is to set the standard for product innovation and performance of functional apparel for Nordic sports. The Bjørn Dæhlie brand builds on two simple values. PURITY and FUNCTION. These two values are something I brought with me from the tracks and they are essential in all our products. We pay attention to the fitting to allow freedom of movement and zoned function.

CONCEPT & TECHNOLOGY
Our expertise and focus are on Nordic Sports apparel. The team at Bj SPORT have extensive knowledge of how the body works in intense sports situations. Through first hand experience has this given us great confidence in how we should construct our garments, and what materials to use. The ways of running, Nordic walking, outdoor adventure and skiing develops and improves rapidly. Sport-specific fit, compression, body mapping and design are integral parts of our garments.
We use the latest production technologies and we only use performance quality materials. Form follows body. Nordic Sport is a fast forward activity. Bjørn Dæhlie garments therefore have more weather protection in the front and exposed areas in the back, where the athletes need ventilation and good moisture management.
