Minus33 was founded on the notion of creating high quality performance garments for the active outdoor community. Our roots date back to 1916 and the textile manufacturing company L.W. Packard. Having formerly been one of the world’s leading merino wool textile manufacturers for over 90 years under L.W. Packard, it was only logical for us to develop Minus33 as a merino wool clothing company. Minus33 is headquartered in Ashland, NH and operates on the grounds of the original mill site that dates back to 1916. New Hampshire is home to some of the world’s harshest weather which has provided an excellent testing ground for our clothing and apparel. We know from many years of manufacturing experience, that nature has given mankind the best fiber in the world (Merino Wool) to equip avid outdoor athletes to even couch surfers. (less)
