SALEWA Alpine Life Collection W1617 - Black&White

The extreme functional protection of wool has been used for centuries by people around the globe to keep warm and dry and wool is still the fabric of choice in many technical garments. This environmentally friendly fabric is part of our mountain wear’s past, present and future and is great for multi-day adventures when minimal packing and maximum wear is required. Sourced from various kinds of sheep, the fibres are strong and soft due in part to the animals grazing in mountain meadows. Once sheared, the wool is cleaned using an ecological soap-and-water process that does no damage to fibres. Extremely easy to care for, wool can nearly “clean itself” by just airing it out or rubbing it in snow.
