On our recent Arctic expedition, we needed outer-wear that would handle cold, rain, and wind. Mammut‘s down jackets and vests did the trick.
Mammut designs outer-wear and gear for mountaineers, but are perfect for most any kind of outdoor adventure. We spent most of our days aboard a ship, with sometimes twice-daily zodiac trips to watch walruses, birds, seals, and more.
My Eigerjoch Light IN Hooded Jacket kept me comfortable even when the winds were howling, as well as on a mellow hike to a waterfall in Iceland. The Eigerjoch Light is a high-performance insulating jacket with synthetic filling to help you reach ambitious destinations when mountaineering, climbing or ski touring. The Ripstop fabric made from Cordura® yarn is lightweight but nevertheless extremely abrasion-proof. The insulation, which is made from up to 90 % recycled PrimaLoft® Gold synthetic fibers with Cross Core™ technology provides superior heat performance despite the very light weight. The helmet-compatible hood provides additional warmth. A PFC-free waterproofing treatment makes the jacket water-repellent. Retail price: $258.75..
Aboard the ship, I wore the Eiger Nordwand ML Hybrid Vest, allowing me to grab my camera at a moment’s notice and run out on deck for the latest wildlife sighting. This all-season insulated vest knows how to deliver. Warm and breathable, its body-mapped design offers focused wind protection, thermal regulation, and moisture wicking right where you need it. Retail price: $141.25.
Mammut’s mission is to inspire people and enable them to experience the outdoors for themselves. The company shares summit successes and first attempts at exploration with all who want to be a part of this experience. And we’re also there when attempts fail, offering confidence and support to surpass your own limits.
