Mammut

Mammut opened operations in 1862... yeah, it's not a typo. Like much else in Europe, these guys have been kicking around for a while. At a time when the Union and Confederacy were battling over here, Mammut started making ropes over there. And 140 years later, they are doing the same thing. Time tested? Proven results? It seems so.

These days, Mammut is building incredible performance outerwear and clothing. Mammut brought their refined techniques over to this side of the Atlantic just a few years ago and they caught aflame. At Altrec, we are on board and have zeroed in on their quality softshells, hardshells and climbing pants. Mammut makes gear and clothing for mountaineering, climbing and anything else you can accomplish in the mountains. With a technical, stripped down approach, they produce performance clothing for athletes that take their mountain sports in strong doses.

The Laser Light Jacket is proof that these newbies to the North American market have their act together. Full stretch, cut from Schoeller WB–400 fabric it is waterproof breathable, it will move with you from hold to hold and keep you dry inside and out. The fit is athletic, the features are specific to climbing and the durability is outright impressive. The Laser Light has waterproof zips, a sleek hood that affords a helmet and thumb loops that keep the sleeves in place for big reaches. And the price is right — you get a solid piece for your dime.

The Women's Outline Zip Pullover follows suit. Mammut uses soft and supple Technostretch fabric to keep wind and light rain at bay. The Outline Zip is a midlayer piece with generous insulation that keeps you warm even when wet. 92% polyester, 5% polyurethane and 3% elastic — it takes a beating and keeps on heating.

The Men's Yukon Trim Fleece is another great midweight layer manufactured by Mammut. An extremely soft hand, surprisingly light–weight and warm insulation, this fleece packs tights and will accompany you on mountaineering, ski and crag trips alike.
