Our Story
All started from one statement: what if your clothing enhanced your daily life and unleashed your potential, regardless of the weather conditions?
The founders getting together
2016
Florian Miguet, then General Manager Asia of Dynafit and Salewa (Oberalp group), and Julien Guéritée, thermophysiology PhD working at the French Ministry of Defense, founded clim8 with the ambition of developing the best thermo-regulating technology for clothing.
They meet Pierre Mouette while looking for an industrial partner for their project, with whom they decide to join forces.
All three decide to establish the company in Lyon in France, a historically textile region where the first e-textile talents were emerging.
