Mammut’s new Chalten jacket for men is a warm weather jacket offering reliable protection in high alpine terrain. The Mammut Chalten jacket uses intelligent schoeller® c_change™ membrane that opens and closes like a pinecone according to the ambient temperature. The structure of the membrane opens at higher temperatures or at times of high activity in response to heat. This releases excess water vapour to the outside. The membrane closes at lower temperatures or when activity levels are low to conserve heat around the body, effectively preventing chills. The Chalten jacket provides protection against rain, snow and stormy weather making it the perfect jacket for all mountain/alpine activities.

Aclima Woolnet range of base layers for men and women is a new take on the string vest. The unique base layer, for varying activity all year round, is made from 100% Merino wool providing great insulation and the mesh construction has a unique ability to transport moisture. The product breathes when you are moving and insulates when you stop and, thanks to the mesh construction, if you wear another layer over the top, air will be trapped in the holes keeping you even warmer. The sides are rib knitted for comfort and to preserve the shape of the product. You also have shoulder panels, which make it comfortable to wear a backpack. On top of this it is body odour resistant and 100% recyclable.
