TIROLWOOL® is made from mountain sheep raised in South Tyrol. Their wool has been used to make warm clothing for centuries, as worn by the early pioneers of alpinism. Tyrolean mountain sheep live at 2,000 metres all-year round in harsh conditions where normal sheep could not survive. Their fine white fleece is well known for its outstanding warmth, breathability, thermo regulation and insulation even when wet.

By choosing to source local Tyrolean wool, SALEWA is sustainably reducing transportation – a major contributor of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions that impact on the climate. In addition, local sourcing supports mountain sheep farmers and the regional economy. TIROLWOOL® is chlorine free: wastewater from the wool-chlorination process contains high concentrations of chlorinated chemicals.

TIROLWOOL® offers natural insulation and keeps the skin warm and dry by absorbing moisture vapour and transforming it into heat. It also reduces moisture accumulation and increases moisture transmission in cold conditions, preventing overchilling.

Mountain rescue professionals say they prefer wool clothing because of its functional properties and comfort for the extreme temperature differences and long hours involved during high-alpine work.

DURASTRETCH is our proprietary abrasion-resistant fabric. We use it to
make our hard-wearing jackets and gilets, pants and shorts, reinforcing
knee and side inserts and gloves for alpine climbing, trekking and hiking.
It’s also lightweight and surprisingly comfortable.

DURASTRETCH fabrics are constructed of nylon (polyamide) with a high
stretch content. They are lightweight, comfortable yet hardwearing and
highly abrasion-resistant.

DURASTRETCH is available in a wide range of 2-way stretch and 4-way
stretch versions. It is breathable and can treated with a DWR finish to make
it water-repellent. Most of the DURASTRETCH fabrics we use in this collection
are suitable for four-season use as their inner structure quickly wicks
sweat away.

DURASTRETCH fabrics make high-quality mountaineering apparel.

- abrasion-resistant
- 2-way stretch and 4-way stretch
- breathable
