About us

It’s been more than 30 years since we started making clothes for enthusiastic mountaineers and professionals. We are based in the Czech Republic, right on the doorstep of the Šumava National Park.

We invent all our products here and sew them ourselves in our workshop just off the square in Susice. Our goal is to present a product that makes real sense, that won’t let you down in the mountains and that you can rely on in all circumstances.

Our products are sophisticated to the last detail. We use materials that will meet your expectations and allow you to perform at the highest level.

We’re here so you can be outside and enjoy it to the fullest.

The emergence of Sport Schwarzkopf
Zikmund and his brother Zdeněk founded the company SPORT SCHWARZKOPF. With the first money they earn, they buy sewing machines and materials and set up shop in the partially repaired Schwarzkopf Villa on the banks of the Otava River, on the site where the 19th century Schwarzkopf was built in the 19th century. century, the first tanneries were built and the large-scale production of outdoor equipment began.

Cooperation with Radek Jaroš
At the end of the 1990s, the company employed almost 40 employees and specialized in more demanding products - jackets. Schwarzkopf jackets are quickly gaining fame among hikers, climbers and the general public and are becoming synonymous with premium quality and high functionality. After his first ascent of Mount Everest, Radek Jaroš, then a young and confident climber, came to Schwarzkopf and had a sleeping bag and jacket made to suit the conditions on the highest peaks. This is the beginning of our cooperation with the current best Czech climber, whom we subsequently dress on all his expeditions.

Crown of the Himalayas
Radek Jaroš, one of the first permanent members of the High Point climbing team, climbs the fourteenth eight-thousandth peak in the world. On 26. On July 2014, he entered the mountaineering hall of fame as the fifteenth person in the world to conquer all eight-thousanders without the use of an oxygen device. Jaroš climbed the summit of K2, an 8611 m high mountain, which was the last one to resist him, on his fifth attempt and thus became the first Czech to complete the "Crown of the Himalayas".

New opportunities
As the first in the Czech Republic, the workshop in Susice has the opportunity to produce from Pertex Shiled Air. A nanomembrane that opens the door to completely different parameters and thus the possibility of producing true technological and functional gems. One step further again. Of course, this is also interesting for foreign clients who are interested in honest production with a long tradition, and so the products in smaller batches also reach the German market for outdoor specialties. Another significant progress is the establishment and renewal of cooperation with state organisations such as the Police of the Czech Republic, the IRS or the Šumava National Park. Professionals in these ranks have been using HIGH POINT clothing and equipment for many years and that is why they keep coming back.
