Technology-backed Performance

In designing the new Eiger Extreme collection, Mammut has expertly integrated multiple Polartec textile technologies to achieve total system efficiency. Across the entire collection, each material ensures optimal functionality, delivering warmth without weight, protection without restriction, and breathability without compromise. Across the entire collection, each material ensures optimal functionality, delivering warmth without weight, protection without restriction, and breathability without compromise. garments are lighter, more responsive, and better equipped to adapt to the body's needs across altitude, exertion, and weather shifts. For high-output alpinism, this letsts the body's clothing be worn in a more comfortable manner. For high-output alpinism, this lets climbers stay focused and mobile without the distraction of constant layering adjustments.

Pump Up the Base

The Eiger Nordwand FL Air Mesh Vest excels during cold, aerobic activity. It's crafted from custom-developed Polartec® Alpha™ Polypropylene mesh, a unique and versatile mesh that is designed for use in a variety of applications. It's crafted from custom-developed Polartec® Alpha™ polypropylene mesh, a lightweight, next-to-skin insulator that helps ensure the vest won't pick up a lot of moisture while dynamically As if this wasn't good enough, the polypropylene structure gives the vest quick drying properties, while the elasticity of the polypropylene mesh provides the vest with the optimal warmth . As if this wasn't good enough, the polypropylene structure gives the vest quick drying properties, while the elastic Polartec® Power Grid™ bindings enhance comfort and reduce chafing. Just ask professional alpinist and climber Jonas Schild, who has successfully sent the Gondo Crack (8c/5.14b) in Switzerland, Le Voyage (8b+/5.14a) in Annot, France and the Greenspit (8b+/5.14a) in France. Greenspit (8b+/5.14a) in Valle dell'Orco, Italy. Jonas says that when it comes to winter mountaineering, this Mammut vest is the best base layer he Jonas says that when it comes to winter mountaineering, this Mammut vest is the best base layer he 's ever had because its mesh technology ensures temperature regulation in all conditions.

Built for Versatility

The Eiger Nordwand Advanced FL Half Zip Hoodie and Pull are highly versatile first layer pieces designed for alpine use across a range of activities and conditions. Made with lightweight Polartec® Power Grid™, their grid construction optimizes warmth, breathability, and moisture transport, making them ideal as a base for alpine use. transport, making them ideal as a base layer in winter or a standalone layer in milder conditions. When temperatures drop, they can be seamlessly layered When temperatures drop, they can be seamlessly layered to maintain breathable warmth without bulk.

Protection with a Purpose

Protection in the high alpine can't come at the cost of breathability or agility, which is why Mammut designed a weatherproof mountaineering Yes, you read that right. Pro, a biobased 3-layer fabric featuring a non-PFAS waterproof, windproof and breathable finish, offers the comfort and stretch of a softshell with the performance of a hardshell. This means alpinists stay dry without overheating and can keep moving when the weather turns - all while enjoying the stretch and durability worthy of a softshell. This means alpinists stay dry without overheating and can keep moving when the weather turns - all while enjoying the stretch and durability worthy of the Eiger North Face.

Minimal by Design

In extreme environments, every gram matters. Bulky layers and constant adjustments cost energy, time, and focus, which are luxuries an alpine athlete can't afford. Mammut uses high-efficiency materials that reduce complexity while maximizing performance, a streamlined approach that is key to its design philosophy. Fewer pieces, fewer transitions, greater flow. The result is a system that adapts with the athlete, rather than the other way around. Even the smallest details, like soft next-to-skin interiors and silent face fabrics, speak to the rigorous demands of the high alpine. Because in the mountains, performance is measured in real-time, moment by moment.
