WHAT CLIMBING MEANS TO US

Climbing can be anything from a class historical rite of passage, to bold, modern lines. Based in the heart of the Dolomites, Salewa has a long history of involvement in alpine climbing, but, we are not solely focused on grades and performance - it’s the adventure and the style of climbing that motivates us.
Salewa’s Climbing collection features strong and light, abrasion-resistant and durable products made from robust stretch fabrics, such as our proprietary Durastretch softshell. This Durastretch softshell was designed with bodymapped patterning and an ergonomic fit in mind that allows it to move as you move to ensure full freedom of movement when climbing! The sleeves of our jackets allow full extension of the arms without pulling at the shoulders, or lifting the waistline, preventing hem lift on high moves. Our hoods either sit snug and rotate with the head for an un-obstructed vision in all directions, or, are cut for helmet compatibility. The knees and seat of our pants are articulated to allow high steps and full knee bends, without lifting the pant hem or exposing the back. We also reinforce critical wear points at the elbows, under the harness and at the knees, seat and shoulders, so you don't need to use additional patches.
