Growing
System

Our innovative system that can be found in some of our children’s line allows the little explorers to wear the same gear as they grow. By simply cutting one thread, the kids gear will get bigger by up to one extra size, so they can wear the same jackets and pants for longer.

4 adjustable areas

Our innovative Growing System makes the clothes bigger as your child grows. Simply cut off the yellow thread inside the seams to gain one size.

DRY’TON is SALEWA’s proprietary, easy-care, durable and resistant syn- thetic fabric with a natural feel.

DRY’TON is extremely functional. It is designed to transport moisture rapidly away from the body to evaporate efficiently. Moisture on the skin is quickly removed. This protects the wearer from overheating during physi- cal activity and from overchilling during rest breaks or once activity has ceased. It is available in a range of different fibres, blends and construc- tions, including with UV protection. We use it to make base layers, mid layers and pants, shorts and linings among other things.

BENEFITS:

  • breathable
  • easy-care
  • lightweight and comfortable
  • durable
  • natural feel
  • extremely functional moisture management properties

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.

BENEFITS:

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

  • light and versatile
  • ideal for mountain sports where abrasion is a factor, especially alpine climbing
