We developed this range for all athletic ski tourers. The thin material consists of a mix of fine merino fibers on the inside and a protective shell on the outside. We have placed windproof elements in certain zones in order to prevent cooling in sensitive areas.
Uncompromising sustainability! We have insulated the new generation of our Swisswool jackets with a homogenous layer of fair-trade Swiss virgin wool (150 g/m²), keeping you warm even at low temperatures. The nylon outer layer is also windproof and water-resistant.
The products in our Swisswool Light series were developed for active mountain sports, where good insulation performance and low weight are key. The 90g/m² lining made of Swiss wool isn’t just super sustainable, it can also be packed away extremely well.
It doesn’t get much more technical than this. Lined with 60g/m² Swiss wool, the Swisswool Light Tec series is the thinnest, but also the most technically advanced Swisswool range. The products in this series can be compacted and packed away particularly well. Equipped with stretch inserts, they are perfect for athletic alpinists.
