Outdoor Clothing - Designed and tested in Iceland. Iceland is widely known as one of the largest active volcanic islands on earth. The eruptions in Iceland are magnificent and so is the weather which has many different faces, some of whom that can be rather extreme. Weather is a large component of the life of Icelanders as it can consist of everything from snowy mornings in June, forceful hails in December and of course our famous midnight sun. In a country where it is not considered newsworthy when the weather changes from clear and sunny skies to rain, sleet or snow in under an hour, dressing appropriately becomes a balancing act and a daily challenge. The Icelandic people therefore know, better than most, how to combine practical everyday apparel with great style. Based on these talents Cintamani has developed a good feeling for beautiful outdoor clothing with a fashionable twist. The weather conditions here in Iceland make our little island an excellent place for the manufacturers of outdoor clothing to test their products. For over 20 years Cintamani has been shaping the Icelandic clothing style by combining under one label, high-tech fabrics and modern style for both women, men and children. “Dress Code Iceland” is therefore an appropriate slogan for the Cintamani label.
