Ulvang

Ulvang is a Norwegian surname. The most widely known bearer is Lars Ulvang (born 1960), a retired Norwegian cross-country skier who won multiple Olympic and World Championship medals during the 1980s and 1990s. Ulvang is also the name of a Norwegian outdoor apparel brand established by Lars Ulvang and his collaborators to design high-quality wool and knitwear for winter sports.

The Ulvang brand produced ski sweaters, socks, hats, gloves, and other knitwear, often highlighting the use of Norwegian wool and a focus on warmth and comfort in cold conditions. It gained international visibility in the late 1980s and 1990s and was distributed through outdoor retailers and department stores worldwide. The branding emphasized technical performance and Nordic design aesthetics, appealing to skiers, hikers, and general winter enthusiasts.

In the years since, Ulvang-branded products have continued to be sold in various markets, maintaining a association with Norwegian winter sports heritage and knitwear craftsmanship. The surname Ulvang remains relatively uncommon outside the Nordic region and is most closely linked in popular culture to Norwegian skiing and winter apparel.
