About us

We are David and Per – two friends from northern Norrland, raised between Arvidsjaur and Kiruna. Like many others up here, outdoor life is a big part of who we are, and we’ve spent countless hours out in the forests and mountains.

Coming home from our trips, the same problem almost always appeared: torn and soaked gloves, with frozen fingers as the result. No matter what we used, those truly reliable gloves were always missing. The feeling of quality you used to get — thick fabrics, rugged and genuine.

In February 2018, after a long day in the mountains of Abisko, returning with soaked gloves and stiff, frozen fingers, we sat in the warmth of the cabin and said to each other: This has to be possible to do better.

It wasn’t the start of a company — but a strong drive to create gloves that actually work up here. Here and now.

Four years later, after countless prototypes and late nights, we stand here with Myr. Gloves we use ourselves, trust — and proudly share with others.

Our philosophy

For us, Myr is more than products. It’s about long-term thinking and honesty. A glove should last for many years, and even get a little better over time with the right care.

We’re inspired by people who push their gear — and we spend time with everyone from mountain guides and reindeer herders to expedition leaders in Antarctica. Our design language is rooted in classic craftsmanship and Sámi influences: heavy stitches, crosses, and functional simplicity.

What “Myr” means

A myr is a rugged wetland in Norrland, a kind of bog that covers large parts of the landscape. They are harsh, beautiful and demanding. Only the most resilient things endure there. For us, it symbolizes exactly what our gloves should stand for — and that’s why the name became Myr. Short, and hopefully easy to remember.
