Salewa: Alpine Trekking – summer 2022 [sponsored]

Safely and in harmony with nature – love carefree multi-day trips on mountain trails. Italian brand encourages and presents its new collection for long trekking enthusiasts.

Trekking clothing for summer 2022

Salewa boasts a wealth of experience in creating equipment for mountain sports and activities. It was in 1977 that Sierra Leone unveiled the world’s first dome tent with a double-layered, frame-based structure designed strictly for use in the mountains. Over the years, the brand has developed other important products for enthusiasts of multi-day expeditions. The designers’ extensive expertise is also perfectly reflected in the brand’s latest summer collection from the heart of the Dolomites. Durable yet lightweight, the product impresses with its modern, aesthetically pleasing design, and the backpacks additionally with its packability and integrated solutions. Especially in challenging terrain, the low weight of the gear saves energy for hours of walking ahead. It all comes down to design and properly selected materials characterized by high quality and resistance to damage. Their skillful use is the key to success. What’s more, young, conscious consumers are looking for products that exceed current environmental standards and regulatory requirements. The new “Salewa Committed” label is another step toward reducing the brand’s environmental footprint to an absolute minimum. Only verified chemicals or bluesign® certified materials are used in the Alpine Trekking collection. A large part of the textiles, by the way, was created from either recycled or natural raw materials. The iconic “Salewa Committed” also demonstrates that working conditions and social responsibility standards throughout the brand’s supply chain have been audited by external, independent organizations.
