It's not only Icelanders who have realised the excellent quality of 66°NORTH outdoor wear. The company's reputation has travelled far, and a recent addition to the list of 66°NORTH's happy customers are Ron and Kelly Meyer. Ron Meyer is the CEO of film company Universal Pictures. The couple bought presents for the holidays to give to their family and friends from 66°NORTH's online store. They chose the Glymur three-layer breathing material jackets, Esja Parka overcoat and Thorsmork Parka down-filled overcoat.

It is not known how the Meyers heard about the 66°NORTH online store, however we can assume that 66°NORTH co-owner, Sigurjon Sighvatsson, who is a Hollywood movie producer, may have enthusiastically drawn it to their attention.

A spokesperson for the couple said that they are very pleased with the garments, and they hope the recipients will be equally pleased. The Meyer's are not the only ones who gave 66°NORTH outdoor wear as presents. Yoko Ono bought one-hundred Thorsmork Parka down-filled overcoats as Christmas gifts last year.
