Who
Cold Skills Group is a Scandinavian company founded by former special operations personnel with decades of combined experience in Arctic warfare, mountain operations, and extreme climate survival. Our team is drawn from Norway and Sweden, and all members are born and raised in the very environments we design for.
We are not only veterans of these terrains—we still live and operate here. These are our homelands, and the gear we create reflects our deep personal and professional connection to the North.
Cold Skills was recognized early for our innovation and was awarded ‘Company of the Year’ in Karlsborg in 2014. We have played a key role in the development of winter systems for leading brands such as Taiga (Torraka) since 2005.
What
Cold Skills Group develops, tests, and supplies professional-grade soldier systems for Arctic, sub-Arctic, and mountain operations. Our capabilities span across:
– Modular load-bearing systems
– Arctic shelter solutions
– Thermal protection systems
– Full-spectrum training & consultancy for cold weather operations
Our own brand, Faravid Gear, includes uniquely developed systems that are field-tested with Arctic units. From concept to delivery, we ensure every product or service we provide is operationally relevant, durable, and mission ready.
Where
Cold Skills Group is headquartered in Karlsborg, Sweden, with our R&D and field-testing operations based in Norway. We also maintain operational presence and partnerships across Finland, Eastern Europe, the UK, and beyond.
We are proud suppliers to Nordic governments and military units, with current framework agreements including the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV). We are expanding rapidly, driven by operational need and a rising focus on Arctic security in NATO.
When
Cold Skills was founded in 2002 with the singular goal of improving how professionals operate in the world’s harshest conditions. More than 20 years later, our mission remains the same—refined by experience and driven by operational feedback from some of the world’s most demanding end-users.
Why
Because standard gear fails where we operate. Cold Skills exists to provide a complete system—equipment, training, and strategy—that enables individuals and units to succeed in the coldest, most remote, and most challenging environments on Earth.
Helping you achieve your mission, is our mission.
