moncler is a well-known name that is familiar to the people who loves the mountains climbing and outdoor activities. Moncler is the abbreviation name of Monestier de Clermont, a place near Grenobie where, in 1952 Rene Ramillion and Andre Vincent founded what would become one of the most famous outerwear companies,it Moncler Outlet.

Ramillion was the best known manufacturer of mountain articles in the city, but he was also a versatile mind whose talent was demonstrated by dozens of patents.

He established the company by that name in the year of 1933,specialising in metal mechanisms for sports: ski poles, bindings, and tent frames. He also provided ski bindings to the French Army, and the people he met and events he experienced through this connection proved to be life-altering. Due to "proven need" during World War II, his company was not seized, and through his contacts with the French Alpine troops, he met Lionel Terray, a decisive player in the history of Moncler Jacket.

The Origins of the company, headed by Andre Vincent during the first few years, a Grenoble business man and a friend of Ramillion, who dealt in sports articles, successfully sold solid, sturdy objects: tents, down sleeping bags, a unique model of lined cagoules, and good sewing machines, recovered from a former slipper factory.

The tents specially hot selled in the market, becoming so famous that they were simply known as "les Ramy" , the symbol of a rapidly developing phenomenon ¨C vacations. Vacations became popular throughout Europe in the 1930¡¯s, but exploded in the post-war period with its new found freedom of movement. They transformed into a ritual that became increasingly popular due to motorcycles, Lambretta scooters (sometimes Vespa's), and small cylinder autos that were cheap and manageable. And also thanks to perfect tents, with telescopic poles and outer reinforcement to cover them.

The Down Jacket

It's natural to wonder: when was the first down jacket made? Probably in 1952 for workers who wore them over their overalls inside the plant during the coldest months of the year.

"They looked more like blue boxes than clothes", recalls someone who remembers those days. But to Lionel Terray, a skier and champion of alpine skiing, who had just returned from an expedition to Canada, these goose down-filled jackets must have seemed the solution to all his problems. Just touching them, as he noted their warmth and light weight, he explained (as Ramillion states in a handwritten document): "You could attempt the impossible in the high mountains and go beyond the human limits we know today".

As early as 1950, Terray had already been driven to the limit in pursuit of extreme conquests, when he scaled Annapurna with Louis Lachenal and Murice Herzog and came back with frostbitten hands and feet.
