HALO

HALO – BORN FROM MILITARY, EXPANDED TO CITY

HALO is more than just another activewear brand. Behind the name lies a strong story: Founded in 2015 as part of Newline, but with roots going back to Aalborg Air Base in 1981. It was here that founder Helge Petersen – with a background in Danish special forces – during a parachute jump discovered something special: his own suit was soaked by rain while the parachute remained dry. This contrast inspired the choice of materials and functionality that remain at the core of HALO.

The name HALO stands for High Altitude, Low Opening – a reference to military parachute jumps where the parachute opens as close to the ground as possible. The brand's collections combine military precision, technical performance, and a modern expression, making them popular among athletes, runners, and fashion-conscious consumers.

DESIGN & FUNCTIONALITY – WHERE AESTHETICS MEET PERFORMANCE

FUNCTION FIRST

HALO is built on a military foundation, where equipment must withstand the harshest conditions. Therefore, many of their products are created in technical materials like Cordura and durable nylon and polyester blends that can resist wind, rain, and wear. This means you get clothing that withstands everyday use, training, and outdoor activities – without compromising on mobility or comfort.

URBAN AND MINIMALIST EXPRESSION

The design line at HALO is Scandinavian, simple, and functional. Colors are often subdued and classic, while logos and graphic details offer a modern, urban edge. The result is clothing you can use both for training and everyday wear.

UNISEX AND VERSATILITY

Many of HALO's styles are unisex, providing broad appeal and making it easy to find clothes that fit both men and women . The fit is well-thought-out and designed to support movement – whether you're heading out for a run, on your way to a workout, or just want a comfortable outfit for leisure.

HALO FOR RUNNING – BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER TRAINING

For runners, HALO is an obvious choice because the brand understands that running is not just about the kilometers you cover but also about everything around it.

• BEFORE THE RUN
  Before you lace up your shoes , it's important to keep your body warm. HALO's lightweight jackets, hoodies, and pants work perfectly as warm-up clothing, providing the necessary comfort as you head out the door. They are easy to take off and can be quickly packed away when you're ready to pick up the pace.

• DURING THE RUN
  Although HALO is known for its urban look, many products are developed with running in mind. Technical materials with effective sweat-wicking, stretchability, and good fit allow you to move freely, whether you're running short urban routes or longer training sessions. Shorts and lightweight T-shirts are particularly suitable for warm days, while functional tights and running shirts keep you comfortable when it's cooler.

• AFTER THE RUN
  Recovery is an important part of any runner's training. After a hard run, it's nice to slip into something comfortable, and here HALO really stands out. Sweatpants, sweatshirts, fleece tops, fleece vests, and lightweight jackets provide both warmth and comfort, allowing you to go straight to a cafe or run an errand without changing. This makes HALO an obvious choice for runners who want functional clothing with a relaxed, stylish aesthetic.

PRODUCT CATEGORIES – A WHOLE UNIVERSE OF POSSIBILITIES

HALO's collections cover a wide range, but the most popular categories among runners and active consumers are:

• T-SHIRTS & SWEATERS: Lightweight materials focused on ventilation and sweat-wicking. Perfect for running or as part of a relaxed everyday style.

• PANTS & TIGHTS: From loose track pants to form-fitting tights, often with practical pockets and durable materials.

• JACKETS & VESTS: Wind and water-resistant outerwear that protects you in changing weather conditions. Ideal as layers both before and after running.

• ACCESSORIES: Caps, hats, and bags that complete the outfit and make it functional in an active lifestyle.

SUSTAINABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY

HALO has a clear focus on sustainability and actively works to minimize their environmental footprint. Many of their collections are produced in organic cotton or in durable, recyclable materials. This way, you get clothing that lasts longer and has a lesser environmental impact.

Moreover, the brand embraces a philosophy that functional clothing should be versatile. When you purchase a pair of HALO pants or a jacket, you get an item that works for training, leisure, and travel – thus replacing multiple pieces in your wardrobe. That's sustainability in practice.
