                                            Microplastics from performance wear are an invisible problem. Fleece and synthetic fabrics might keep you warm and dry, but they can leave a hidden trace. But does it have to be this way?

                 Tiny fibers, big impact: How much microplastic is hiding in your clothes? 
  We all love fresh air and outdoor adventures—but hardly anyone thinks about the invisible threat we might be wearing: microplastics from functional clothing. Especially when washing fleece or synthetic fabrics, far more microplastic ends up in the environment than you might expect. But does it have to be that way?  
 Why microplastic is a problem 
 Most people associate outdoor fun with freedom and movement, not pollution. But every time we wash performance clothing, tiny plastic fibers are released into the water. These microplastic particles travel through wastewater systems into rivers and oceans—and often  end up in the food chain . 
 Studies show a significant portion of the microplastic found in aquatic environments comes  directly from our homes , primarily from washing fleece and synthetic materials. 
 That’s not just bad for nature. Microplastic has now been found  in fish, drinking water—and even in the human body . While the long-term effects are still being studied, one thing’s clear: the less microplastic enters the environment, the better. 
 So, is it possible to combine performance and environmental awareness? That’s exactly what Houdini’s Aero Series aims to do—with innovative materials and clever design that protect both you and nature. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Discover the Aero Series   
 The Houdini Aero Series: less microplastic, more performance 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Up to 80% fewer fibers are released with the Aero Series.&quot; img} 
 Many outdoor brands are exploring ways to reduce microplastic—but real innovation has been rare. 
 With the Aero Series, Houdini has created a solution that actually makes a difference. Their  Power Air Active technology  traps loose filament fibers inside tiny pockets of fabric—preventing them from escaping. 
 The result: up to  80% less fiber shedding  compared to traditional fleece. And the fabric is made entirely from  recycled, fully recyclable materials . 
 So what looks like a standard performance jacket is actually a next-gen blend of comfort, durability, and sustainability. 
 What makes the Aero Houdi and Aero Jacket stand out? 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;The Aero Series adapts to both active and everyday life.&quot; img} 
 Whether you’re hiking, running, layering under a shell, or just heading to the café—the Aero Series offers exceptional flexibility. 
 The latest generation of Power Air Active fabric checks all the boxes: it’s lighter, stretchier, softer, and dries faster than before. It’s also 100% recyclable, meaning the material can be reused at the end of its lifecycle. 
 Both the Aero Houdi and Aero Jacket feature adjustable hems, zippered pockets, and a smart fit that keeps you warm without overheating. Plus, the breathable fabric allows for excellent temperature regulation no matter the weather.

 Who is it for? 
 The Aero Series is designed for anyone who values performance, sustainability, and versatility. 
 Whether you&#039;re an avid hiker, an everyday commuter, or someone who just wants a lighter, eco-conscious layer—the Aero pieces perform like  multitools as well as an outdoor-specialist for demanding adventures.  
 And when they finally wear out, Houdini takes them back for recycling, helping keep valuable resources in circulation. 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;How to extend the life of your technical apparel&quot; items=[ &quot;Wash only when needed, using eco-friendly detergent and a gentle cycle.&quot;, &quot;Skip the dryer—air drying saves energy and is easier on fabrics.&quot;, &quot;Use a washing bag like Guppyfriend to trap microfibers.&quot;, &quot;Return worn-out items to the manufacturer or a recycling partner instead of throwing them away.&quot; ] paperlist} 
 Final thought: sustainable performance made simple 
 If you love the outdoors and want to help protect it, Houdini’s Aero Series offers a future-friendly solution. With innovative materials that reduce microplastic and a focus on long-lasting performance, it’s outdoor gear you can truly feel good about.

                 Give your shoes a second chance – and the planet a break 
  City breaks, mountain hikes, after-work strolls – even the best shoes eventually wear down. Most often, the sole goes first while the rest still looks great. So what now? Most people rush to replace them. But what if that’s exactly the problem?  
 Can shoes really be repaired properly? 
 Absolutely – when it’s done right. That’s the idea behind the new &quot;Repair If You Care&quot; initiative, which focuses on one trusted favorite:  the 54 collection from Dolomite . 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Repairing instead of tossing is often the smarter option.&quot; img} 
 Instead of ditching your worn-down pair, take them to a certified cobbler who’ll fit them with a fresh  Vibram sole  – and bring them back to life. It may sound old-school, but it’s smarter than ever. 
 Why replace when you can resole? 
 The advantages speak for themselves – or rather, show under your feet: You reduce waste, save resources and money, keep the comfort of your well-worn favorites, and regain full traction with a premium Vibram sole. 
  Dolomite’s 54 models  are built for this: they’re not just stylish and functional – they’ve been designed from day one  with resoling in mind .

   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Find a participating cobbler near you   
 What makes the 54 collection stand out? 
 The  Dolomite Cinquantaquattro collection &amp;nbsp;(Italian for &quot;54 collection&quot;) combines vintage looks with modern comfort and performance. Inspired by the iconic 1954 Italian K2 expedition, it balances heritage and innovation. 
 The collection features versatile models for city life, hiking, or winter adventures – all crafted using  recycled materials , certified suede, and sustainable  Vibram® soles . 
 At its core is the Dolomite Anatomic System (DAS), offering a precise, supportive fit. And thanks to its  retro-inspired design , each pair looks just as good in urban settings as it does out in nature. 
 In short: a 54 model is more than a shoe – it’s a smart,  long-term investment in comfort, style, and sustainability .

 You don’t always need something new – sometimes, a new sole is all it takes. With Dolomite’s 54 collection and the &quot;Repair If You Care&quot; program, your favorite shoes can walk many more miles. 
 It’s a statement against throwaway culture. A choice for conscious consumption. And an invitation to keep exploring – for longer.

                 Unpredictable summer weather: How to layer smart 
  When summer plays by its own rules, a functional jacket is your best friend. But in the warmer months, one key question arises: what do you wear underneath to avoid overheating or freezing when the wind picks up? Whether you&#039;re hiking, cycling, or exploring the city, smart layering requires more than just a good jacket.  
 Why summer layering makes sense 
 Even when temperatures rise above 25°C, summer weather can be surprisingly fickle. Mornings might be chilly, midday uncomfortably hot, and evenings suddenly cloudy. If you want to be prepared for anything, your clothing needs to be light, breathable, and adaptable. 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Summer weather in the mountains is especially changeable.&quot; img} 
 The classic layering system – baselayer, weather protection, and optional midlayer – works in summer too, as long as the materials are right. 
 The base: Lightweight functional shirts 
 Worn directly against the skin, the baselayer needs to wick moisture efficiently. Functional shirts made from polyester or merino blends are ideal: they dry quickly, wick sweat away from the body, and resist odors longer. 
 Fit is just as important. Look for a comfortable cut that allows movement and doesn&#039;t chafe – essential for longer outings and warm-weather activity. 
 A great example is the Circ Shirt Tauron from Schöffel. This shirt stands out with sustainable mono-material construction, high recyclability, and a soft, lightweight feel – perfect for everyday wear, hikes, and warm days. And thanks to a take-back system, your old shirt can be turned into a new one. 
 {productlist products=[&quot;46-23833-23979&quot;,&quot;46-23833-23979&quot;,&quot;46-13531-23979&quot;,&quot;46-13531-23979&quot;] colors=[&quot;8820&quot;,&quot;5205&quot;,&quot;6205&quot;,&quot;3805&quot;] showprices=&quot;1&quot; showsupplier=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; css=&quot;white&quot; productlist} 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Perfect for summer: Functional shirts from Schöffel   
 The shell: Your summer functional jacket 
 Whether you&#039;re caught in the wind or an unexpected chill, a breathable jacket is a must in summer. Look for compact designs with smart ventilation zones that balance temperature effectively. 
 Details like an extended back, adjustable hoods, and elastic cuffs can make all the difference when weather conditions shift. 
 A top pick is the  Hybrid Jk Style Mamry  from Schöffel: it combines durable weather protection at the shoulders and arms with flexible 4-way stretch fabric. Adjustable hood and pack-away functionality with frame attachment maximize versatility. 
 Its windproof build shields you during descents and breezy spots, while the bike-specific fit is perfect for active days on two wheels or hikes in changing weather. 
 {productlist products=[&quot;46-24013-23995&quot;,&quot;46-24013-23995&quot;,&quot;46-13678-23995&quot;,&quot;46-13678-23995&quot;] colors=[&quot;9040&quot;,&quot;3805&quot;,&quot;3750&quot;,&quot;9990&quot;] showprices=&quot;1&quot; showsupplier=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; css=&quot;white&quot; productlist} 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; A must-have: Top summer jackets   
 When it cools down: Light extra layers 
 For early alpine starts or long breaks, a thin additional layer can be a game-changer. Ultralight long sleeves or functional vests are great options and barely add any weight. 
 The  Longsleeve Style Blaueis  from Schöffel is a practical choice for mountain enthusiasts and hiking fans. Made from recycled material, it dries quickly and offers seamless construction with 2-way stretch for maximum comfort and mobility. Ideal for cooler mornings or shady rest stops – sustainable, functional, and soft against the skin. 
 {productlist products=[&quot;46-23992-24112&quot;,&quot;46-23992-24112&quot;,&quot;46-23992-24112&quot;,&quot;46-13660-24112&quot;] colors=[&quot;5205&quot;,&quot;8275&quot;,&quot;9040&quot;,&quot;3750&quot;] showprices=&quot;1&quot; showsupplier=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; css=&quot;white&quot; productlist} 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Hiking in the morning? Don’t skip the midlayer   
 Conclusion: The right layers for every summer combo 
 With the right outfit combination, you can embrace all kinds of summer weather with confidence. Whether it&#039;s a functional tee, a light midlayer, or a smart jacket – it&#039;s all about the mix. Schöffel&#039;s current summer collection proves that function and style go hand in hand.

                 Traveling with hand luggage only? It’s easier than you think 
  Less to carry, more to experience – sounds too good to be true? In fact, minimalist travel can feel liberating and be more practical than you’d expect. The right travel backpack makes all the difference and can even replace a suitcase.  
 Why hand luggage travel is worth it 
 Especially for flights or trips with multiple stops, traveling with hand luggage saves  time, money, and stress . No waiting at baggage claim, no worry about lost luggage, no unexpected fees at check-in – just maximum flexibility at every stage of your trip. 
 {img number=&quot;1&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;One-bag travel works anywhere in the world.&quot; img}Whether it’s a weekend in Lisbon, a city break somewhere new, or even three weeks in Southeast Asia, smart packing often means you don’t need more than 40 liters of space. 
 Many airlines now allow generous hand luggage dimensions, and when your backpack is well-organized with separate compartments for your essentials,  one-bag travel becomes an easy, practical choice  that works for almost any destination. 
 To make it work, you’ll need a backpack with smart features designed specifically for travel, offering both comfort and structure. 
 What makes a great hand luggage travel backpack? 
 Not every backpack is made for minimalist travel. Here’s what to look for: 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Key features a hand luggage backpack should have&quot; items=[&quot;Size and volume: ideally 40–55 liters to meet hand luggage standards&quot;,&quot;Back and carry system: stowable harness for easy transport on flights&quot;,&quot;Organization: separate compartments for laptop, clothes, toiletries, and documents&quot;,&quot;Security: lockable zippers for added theft protection&quot;,&quot;Material: lightweight, durable, weather-resistant – ideally with recycled content&quot;] paperlist} 
 Travel made easier: Osprey Farpoint &amp;amp; Fairview 
 Two standout models for hand luggage travel are the  Osprey Farpoint  and  Osprey Fairview , both available in  40L and 55L versions . These backpacks are designed to meet the needs of today’s frequent travelers – whether for city breaks, longer backpacking trips, or international journeys. 
 The smaller versions fit standard hand luggage requirements. The 55L versions can also work as hand luggage with a smart trick: place the main pack in the overhead bin and store the removable daypack under the seat. 
 Both models feature stowable back panels and padded handles for easy handling on planes. Inside, compression straps, a  spacious main compartment , and a dedicated laptop sleeve help you stay organized. 
  Water-repellent DWR coating  and recycled polyester make these packs sustainable and tough. And if anything does go wrong, Osprey’s  All Mighty Guarantee  covers you worldwide. 
 {imagewithproducts number=&quot;2&quot; headline=&quot;&quot; showsupplier=&quot;0&quot; showprices=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; products=[&quot;18-10003684&quot;,&quot;18-10003676&quot;,&quot;18-10003689&quot;,&quot;18-10003678&quot;] colors=[&quot;18-10003684&quot;,&quot;18-10003676&quot;,&quot;18-10003689&quot;,&quot;18-10003678&quot;] imagewithproducts} 
 What’s the difference between Farpoint and Fairview? 
 Farpoint is designed for men and fits taller frames. Its look is sleek and functional. Fairview is designed for women, with ergonomically curved shoulder straps and a more padded hip belt for a close, comfortable fit – ideal for longer carries.

 Extra feature on the 55L 
 Both 55L models include a handy detachable 15L daypack with its own laptop sleeve and mesh side pockets – perfect for day trips or as extra storage. The daypack attaches securely to the main pack and completes your setup. 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Features that make these models perfect for hand luggage travel&quot; items=[&quot;Hand luggage-friendly size&quot;,&quot;Stowable shoulder and hip straps for easy storage on flights&quot;,&quot;Lockable main compartments for added security&quot;,&quot;Large, easy-to-access main compartment with internal compression&quot;,&quot;Special compartments for toiletries, tech, and clothes&quot;,&quot;Durable, eco-friendly materials with DWR coating&quot;,&quot;Ergonomic fits for men and women&quot;] paperlist} 
 Minimalist travel made simple 
  Pack by outfit, not by item : choose clothing that mixes and matches so a few pieces create multiple looks. This saves space and helps you avoid that “I have nothing to wear” feeling on the road. 
  Packing cubes  are a game-changer: they  keep your bag organized , compress your clothes, and make it easy to find what you need. {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;With a few tricks, minimalist travel is easy.&quot; img} 
 When it comes to tech, less is often more. Think carefully about what you really need – sometimes your phone is all you need. And before you head to the airport,  double-check your airline’s hand luggage rules  – especially with budget carriers, sizes can vary a lot. 
 More freedom with less luggage 
 Whether it’s a city break, light backpacking, or a digital nomad trip, traveling with hand luggage lightens your load and gives you real freedom. With a well-designed backpack like the Osprey Farpoint or Fairview, one-bag travel becomes easy, comfortable, and reliable.

                 Bugged by bites? Smart clothing can keep you safe and comfortable 
  You’re ready for a long hike, a trekking adventure, or a sunny getaway, but the idea of mosquito bites or tick stings is holding you back? You’re not alone. We have a solution that lets you enjoy the outdoors without worry.  
 Mosquitoes, ticks and more: small pests, big problems 
 In summer or on trips to tropical regions,  biting and stinging insects  can really get in the way of your plans. One careless moment and you might find a tick attached or your skin covered in mosquito bites. 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Hiking through meadows and forests means a higher risk of insect bites.&quot; img}This isn’t just annoying. Insects can  transmit diseases  like TBE, Lyme disease or even malaria. Sprays may help for a short while, but they need frequent reapplication and can be impractical when you’re on the move. 
 That’s where insect-repellent clothing from Maul Sport comes in. It offers reliable protection that stays with you all day. 
 Insect Shield®: how it works 
 Insect Shield® technology from Maul bonds the  active ingredient permethrin  tightly into the textile fibres using a special process. This means the protection stays in the fabric, not on your skin, and lasts for up to 70 washes. 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Benefits at a glance:&quot; items=[&quot;Long-lasting protection that doesn’t fade after a few uses.&quot;,&quot;Odourless and invisible — you won’t notice it as you wear it.&quot;,&quot;Skin-friendly, ideal for allergy sufferers, children and pregnant women.&quot;,&quot;Effective against mosquitoes, ticks, flies, mites and more.&quot;,&quot;No need for reapplication — just put it on and you’re protected.&quot;] paperlist} 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Stay protected with Insect Shield® clothing from Maul   
 Who benefits most? 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Insect Shield® protects against a wide range of bugs.&quot; img}Insect Shield® is ideal for travellers heading to  tropical or tick-prone regions , as well as hikers and trekkers on long tours. 
 Families with children appreciate the  gentle, odourless protection , while people with allergies or those who are pregnant benefit from the safe, practical alternative to sprays. This makes Insect Shield® a smart choice for anyone who spends time outdoors, from casual walkers to seasoned adventurers. 
 Maul’s clothing offers more than insect protection. The lightweight, durable, breathable and quick-drying fabrics also come with clever extras like ventilation panels, UV protection and stretch materials for full freedom of movement. These features ensure comfort on long days out.

                 Warm, light, compact: The advantages of a down sleeping bag 
  Whether you’re&amp;nbsp;bivouacking in the mountains or camping in late summer, one thing matters most when spending the night outdoors: getting a good night’s sleep. The right sleeping bag plays a crucial role in that. Many outdoor enthusiasts swear by down sleeping bags. Here’s why – and what you should look for when buying one.  
 Why a down sleeping bag is worth it 
 If you want to sleep outside in comfort while keeping things light and warm, a down sleeping bag is hard to beat. Down offers an  unbeatable combination of excellent warmth and low weight . 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Advantages of down:&quot; items=[&quot;Extremely light and compressible – ideal for backpacking trips&quot;,&quot;High loft provides superb insulation, even on frosty nights&quot;,&quot;Long lifespan with proper care – an investment that lasts for years&quot;] paperlist} 
 When buying a down sleeping bag, focus on three key factors: temperature rating, down sourcing, and fit. Depending on whether you’re camping in summer, during the shoulder seasons, or in winter conditions, you’ll need  the right level of insulation . 
 Look for recognized certifications like the  Responsible Down Standard (RDS) , which ensures the down filling comes from animal-friendly sources. And remember: a sleeping bag can only keep you warm if it fits properly – not too tight, not too loose. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Shop high-quality down sleeping bags for your next camping trip   
 What makes down high quality? 
 Not all down is created equal. The key indicator of quality is fill power (measured in cuin) – the higher the fill power, the better the insulation. But sourcing, processing, and sustainability are also important. {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;High-quality down provides outstanding insulation.&quot; img} 
 A great example is  Crystal Down® . This European duck down comes exclusively from animals raised under humane conditions, certified according to the  Responsible Down Standard (RDS) . It’s cleaned, refined, and sterilized at high temperatures in Europe. 
 What’s particularly impressive: Crystal Down® offers  fill power up to 900 cuin , delivering exceptional insulation at minimal weight. That makes it one of the most effective down fillings on the market. 
 For damp conditions, there’s even a water-repellent version:  Crystal Down® Dry . It retains loft even when wet and dries faster – perfect for humid environments or autumn camping trips. 
 Two sleeping bags for different adventures 
 With the  Ides  and  Iver  models, Nordisk offers two thoughtfully designed options for very different needs. Both combine responsibly sourced, high-quality down with smart design and set new standards for comfort and function. 
 Nordisk Ides – versatility and comfort 
 Whether you’re trekking, bikepacking, or spending a night under canvas, the  Ides  impresses with high-grade Crystal Down® filling, a breathable, recycled nylon shell, and an  adjustable contoured hood with draft collar  – for a cozy sleep even on chilly nights. 
 Its slightly roomier  mummy shape  is especially comfortable for side sleepers, providing plenty of space to move. 
 Available in  different versions , the Ides covers a broad temperature range  from +5°C to -5°C . Weighing around 1100 g with a compact pack size, it’s ideal for demanding multi-day trips. 
  Perfect for:  ambitious tours, comfort seekers, side sleepers 
 {productlist products=[&quot;682-10721455-102&quot;,&quot;682-10721457-101&quot;] colors=[&quot;682-10721333-101&quot;,&quot;682-10721457-101&quot;] showprices=&quot;1&quot; showsupplier=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; css=&quot;white&quot; productlist} 
 Nordisk Iver – for cold nights and challenging conditions 
 The  Iver  is made for expeditions, winter hut trips, or chilly mountain nights where reliable insulation is essential. Its premium Crystal Down® filling ensures excellent warmth at low weight. 
 A specially shaped, snug-fitting sharkfin footbox helps feet  warm up quickly  and stay warm. 
 At the same time, the extra-wide shoulder area provides  freedom of movement for the upper bod y – ideal if you like to shift positions while sleeping. 
 The Iver comes in two versions: one for milder winter conditions around 0°C and a particularly warm one for temperatures down to -10°C. Its  tough, recycled ripstop nylon shell  makes it extra durable and resistant to wear and tear in rough terrain. 
  Perfect for:  back sleepers, winter tours, cold climates

 Your sleeping bag for your adventure 
 A sleeping bag is more than just a blanket for the outdoors – it’s key to your comfort, sleep quality, and safety. For many adventures, a down sleeping bag is the top choice: it combines  superb warmth, low weight, and a small pack size . 
 When you choose high-quality down like Crystal Down® from responsible sources,  you can count on top performance  – and sleep with peace of mind. 
 With the Ides and Iver, Nordisk offers two models that adapt to different needs and adventures. That way, you’ll find the perfect sleeping bag for your trip – not the other way around.

                 Why cycling shoes are essential for every ride 
  Whether you&#039;re hitting the road, tackling off-road trails, or training indoors, investing in quality cycling shoes is a smart move for anyone who rides regularly. The right shoes play a key role in protecting your health, boosting efficiency, and keeping you safe. Here’s why cycling shoes are worth every penny.  
 Health first: how cycling shoes support your body 
  Less pain, more endurance:  Cycling shoes with stiff soles distribute pressure evenly across your entire foot. This helps relieve sensitive areas like the metatarsal bones or the plantar fascia—putting an end to burning soles, numbness, or pain. 
  Protection for knees, hips, and back: &amp;nbsp;A well-fitting shoe and correctly positioned cleats help align your foot with your knee and hip, reducing strain and preventing related issues. This can improve overall riding comfort and posture. {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Cycling shoes support your joints and muscles.&quot; img} 
  Greater stability for joints and muscles: &amp;nbsp;Cycling shoes provide essential support, reducing the risk of strains or tendon irritation—especially on long rides or during intense sessions. They also enhance balance and control on the bike. Whereas insoles can help correct misalignments when needed. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Ride pain-free with the right cycling shoes   
 Performance matters: how cycling shoes maximize your pedal power 
  Efficient power transfer:  Stiff soles, especially carbon ones, minimize energy loss and deliver nearly direct power to the pedals. The result? More speed for the same effort. 
  Improved pedal technique:  Clip-in pedals create a secure connection between shoe and pedal, so you can pull as well as push—promoting a smoother pedal stroke and better muscle balance. 
  Secure footing:  Regular shoes can slip easily in wet conditions, at high speeds, or on rough terrain. Cycling shoes with clip systems keep your feet locked in place for greater control and fewer accidents. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; More speed, less wasted energy—check out our top models for ambitious riders   
 Which cycling shoe is right for you? Three scenarios, three recommendations 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Road or climb – the right shoes help you make the most of your energy.&quot; img} 
 For ambitious road cyclists: Shimano RC903 
 If you want to get the most out of your training and races, the  RC903  is the way to go. Its  ultra-stiff full carbon sole  ensures direct power transfer, while the 360° upper and BOA® Li2 dials provide a secure, pressure-free fit. 
 Thanks to  Shimano Dynalast , you’ll feel the comfort: the optimized last shape  supports a natural pedal stroke , reduces muscle fatigue, and helps you stay strong in the saddle for hours. Perfect for pros and performance-driven enthusiasts who won’t settle for less. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Ready to set new personal bests? Explore Shimano road cycling shoes   
 For versatile everyday riders and long-distance fans: Shimano RC302 
 The  RC302  strikes a great balance between efficiency and comfort. Its  glass fiber-reinforced nylon sole  delivers solid power transfer without sacrificing flexibility—ideal for longer rides or daily use. 
 The BOA® dial ensures a secure fit that’s easy to adjust on the go, while the breathable upper keeps your feet cool. The  surround-wrapping design  adapts perfectly to your foot—and with women’s and wide versions available, you’ll find your ideal fit. 
 For trail heroes and gravity enthusiasts: Shimano GE700 
 The  GE700  is built for the trail. Its rugged design protects your feet from impacts and debris, while the  padded collar and reinforced toe cap  offer extra safety on tough descents. The TORBAL 2.0 midsole delivers a stable yet flexible platform for technical sections. 
 With the ULTREAD GE outsole, you’ll enjoy  top grip in wet and muddy conditions —whether you’re clipped in or on foot. A combination of laces and a hook-and-loop strap keeps your foot secure and gives you full control when it counts. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Conquer mud and rock—browse Shimano’s trail-ready selection

                 Trail running in any weather: How to stay fast and safe on the trail 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  Wet leaves, slippery paths, a light drizzle – when the weather turns, many trail runners ask themselves: take a break or power through? If you’re not ready to give up your run, the right footwear is essential for staying safe and making the most of your trail experience, even in tough conditions.  
 What trail running shoes need in bad weather 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Running in the rain calls for different features than a sunny day on the trails. While dry conditions prioritize lightness, breathability, and agility, wet weather demands a  tough blend of protection and performance . 
 You’ll need shoes that deliver reliable grip and true waterproofing. 
 The  Agravic GTX  from adidas Terrex combines all that: it  shields you from moisture , wind, and debris, keeps your feet comfortable over long distances, and  adapts smoothly to changing conditions  – so you can run with confidence, no matter the weather.

 With the  Agravic GTX , adidas delivers a trail shoe that truly has your back – or rather, your feet – when the weather turns. A smart mix of technologies makes it the go-to choice for dedicated runners who don’t shy away from the elements. 
  Invisible Fit Technology:  The GORE-TEX membrane is bonded directly to the upper, resulting in less weight, greater freedom of movement, and – most importantly –  long-lasting protection from water and wind . A sock-like collar also keeps out moisture and debris. Despite the membrane, the shoe remains pleasantly breathable. 
  Dynamic Comfort:  The LIGHTSTRIKE midsole delivers a responsive ride with ample cushioning – ideal for fast runs and long distances. On extended efforts, the low weight of the midsole really shines, helping you maintain energy and keep going strong. 
  Confident Traction:  With 4–5 mm lugs and Continental™ rubber, you’ll stay sure-footed even on wet terrain – whether you&#039;re in the forest, on loose rock, or muddy root-strewn paths. The sole gives you noticeable control, especially on slippery surfaces like wet leaves and damp stones. 
 Beyond the tech, this trail shoe stands out with practical details: 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Handy Features of the adidas Terrex Agravic GTX&quot; items=[&quot;Removable insole for custom comfort&quot;,&quot;Pull tabs for quick on-and-off&quot;,&quot;Reflective elements for visibility at dusk&quot;,&quot;Toe cap for extra protection on alpine terrain&quot;] paperlist} 
 It’s everything you need to keep moving – no matter what the forecast says.

 Three top picks for dry trails 
 Not every run involves mud and rain. For dry, fast, or technically demanding trails, you want shoes that offer light weight, direct cushioning, and precise performance. adidas has you covered here, too, with top-tier models built for these exact conditions: 
 adidas Terrex Agravic Speed – the agile speedster

 Designed for serious runners tackling ultra distances or races, the  adidas Terrex Speed Ultra  delivers peak performance. 
 With its super responsive Lightstrike Pro midsole and built-in Energy Rods, it offers  outstanding energy return  and a lively, propulsive stride. 
 Weighing in at just 260 g, it’s the perfect pick for anyone  chasing speed  on the trail. 
 adidas Terrex Agravic 3 – the all-terrain all-rounder 
 The  adidas Terrex Agravic 3  is a true all-rounder,  built with durability and balanced cushioning  in mind. The slightly firmer Lightstrike midsole and Continental outsole with 4–5 mm lugs give it reliable grip across varied terrain. 
 This makes it a great option for  daily training, technical trails , and even for beginners. 
 Conclusion: The right shoe makes all the difference 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Running in the rain or through mud? Not a problem with the  Agravic GTX . It protects, cushions, grips, and goes the distance – whatever the weather. If you&#039;re looking for a high-performance, weatherproof trail shoe, this one&#039;s a must-try.

                 Active, light, and healthy: How speed hiking boosts your fitness and freedom 
  Stressed at work, pressed for time, but still want to get in shape? Then speed hiking could be just the thing for you. This energetic blend of brisk hiking, focused training, and immersive nature fits seamlessly into a busy lifestyle. Once you try striding swiftly through alpine terrain, you’ll quickly realize just how freeing and invigorating it can be.  
 What is speed hiking, and why is it so popular right now? 
 Speed hiking isn&#039;t just the latest fitness craze—it&#039;s a natural evolution of traditional mountain sports. It combines the  best aspects of hiking and trail running —without the need for full-on running speed, but with the goal of tackling elevation and distance quickly and efficiently. 
 The key difference: you mostly stay at a fast walking pace, skip the running, and use purpose-built, lightweight gear. That makes it more accessible, yet still physically demanding. 
 And that&#039;s exactly why it&#039;s gaining popularity: it brings together  movement, outdoor adventure, and effective training —without the pressure of competition. 
 Healthy from head to toe: the benefits of speed hiking 
 Speed hiking regularly delivers a full-body boost on multiple levels: 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;The benefits of speed hiking at a glance:&quot; items=[&quot; Endurance &amp;amp; cardiovascular health:  Uphill hiking at a brisk pace gets your heart rate up and improves oxygen intake.&quot;, &quot; Muscle strength:  Fast hiking on uneven terrain effectively strengthens your legs, core, and arms.&quot;, &quot; Joint-friendly:  Compared to running, speed hiking is gentler on knees and ankles – making it ideal for getting back into training.&quot;, &quot; Coordination &amp;amp; balance:  Varying terrain challenges your balance more than flat paths.&quot;, &quot; Calorie burn:  Higher intensity means a more effective workout – perfect for losing or maintaining weight.&quot;, &quot; Mental strength:  Being active in nature significantly reduces stress, lifts your mood, and promotes inner calm.&quot;] paperlist} 
 The right gear: lightweight, breathable, and built to perform 
       
 To keep cool (in the right way) while speed hiking, your gear needs to be spot on. Salewa’s  Pedroc Collection  is purpose-built for exactly this: it’s lightweight, breathable, functional, and tough enough for the mountains.

                 Vision and safety: What today’s sports sunglasses should offer 
  Whether you&#039;re hitting the trails, cycling through the city, or sprinting around the track, clear vision is key for outdoor athletes—and not just on sunny days. Modern sports sunglasses do far more than protect against UV rays. But what really matters when you&#039;re choosing a new pair?  
 Why sports sunglasses are real performance boosters 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Ready to ride – with eyewear built for peak performance.&quot; img}Protecting your eyes is important, sure. But for many serious athletes,  performance  is now the top priority. A great pair of sunglasses needs to mold to your face, stay put no matter what—whether you&#039;re making explosive moves, shifting directions quickly, or charging downhill at speed. 
 They should deliver  sharp, distortion-free vision  during every movement so you can react instantly—to obstacles on the trail, oncoming traffic, or sudden changes in lighting. 
 Especially in fast-paced sports like road cycling, trail running, or CrossFit, a wide field of view isn’t just nice to have— it’s a safety essential . Because what you can’t see, you can’t avoid. And anything that breaks your rhythm will drain your energy and slow you down. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Clear vision in all conditions: Discover sports sunglasses   
 What to look for when buying sports sunglasses 
 Not every model suits every sport—and not every fit works for every face. To find the right pair, pay attention to these essential features: 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;What really matters in a pair of sports sunglasses&quot; items=[&quot;Field of vision: The wider it is, the better your spatial awareness&quot;,&quot;Fit &amp;amp; comfort: Needs to stay in place for long sessions and with helmets&quot;,&quot;Lens technology: Enhances contrast, filters light, and protects from UV&quot;,&quot;Weight: Lightweight frames help prevent fatigue&quot;,&quot;Ventilation: Open designs help avoid fogging&quot;,&quot;Grip: Non-slip nose pads and arms are a must&quot;] paperlist} 
 Comfort meets tech: spotlight on the Oakley Sphaera Slash Discover the Sphaera Slash! 
 A prime example of the next generation of performance eyewear is the  Oakley Sphaera Slash . Designed in collaboration with pro athletes, it&#039;s engineered for high-movement, high-intensity sports. 
 Its unique &quot;Slash&quot; lens shape  expands your field of view  and minimizes the risk of cheek contact during motion or impact. The ultra-light O Matter™ frame is built for long sessions and holds up to the demands of everyday training. With Unobtainium® on the nose pads and temples, you get a secure,  slip-free fit —even in rain or sweat—and it plays well with helmets and caps. 
 What does that mean in action? On a trail run through root-covered forest paths: no slipping on the climb, clear sight on the descent, and a snug fit even when you&#039;re dripping with sweat or brush against a branch. Or while road cycling: smart ventilation keeps airflow steady and prevents fogging, while your shades stay exactly where they belong. 
 Oakley’s Prizm™ lens tech  enhances color and contrast , so you can spot details faster—especially when switching between light and shadow or navigating tricky terrain like forest floors, asphalt, or gravel. 
 Questions to ask before buying your sports sunglasses 
 {qanda question=&quot;Which sports will I use the glasses for?&quot; answer=&quot;Whether you’re running, cycling, or out on the water, the requirements can vary greatly. Trail running calls for a wide field of vision and a secure fit. For cycling, wind protection and helmet compatibility are more important. Look for models designed for multiple disciplines – like the Sphaera Slash.&quot; qanda} {qanda question=&quot;Do the glasses stay securely in place, even during fast movements or when I sweat?&quot; answer=&quot;A pair of sports sunglasses must not slip during intense activity – whether you’re sprinting or flying downhill. Non-slip materials ensure a stable fit, even when wet. Try them on with a helmet or cap to avoid pressure points.&quot; qanda} {qanda question=&quot;How good is the visibility in changing light conditions?&quot; answer=&quot;When training in forests, at dusk, or in unpredictable weather, you need sharp contrast and clear detail. Oakley’s Prizm™ lenses enhance colors and help you spot uneven ground earlier – giving you more control and speed.&quot; qanda} {qanda question=&quot;How comfortable are the glasses during long sessions?&quot; answer=&quot;Even the best technology won’t help if the comfort isn’t right. Lightweight materials reduce pressure on the nose and ears. Well-designed ventilation also prevents the lenses from fogging up.&quot; qanda} {qanda question=&quot;How durable are the glasses for my everyday training?&quot; answer=&quot;Falls, impacts, or being tossed into a backpack: good glasses have to handle a lot. A combination of a sturdy frame, flexible lens shape, and shock-absorbing design protects both you and your gear.&quot; qanda} {qanda question=&quot;Do these glasses actually suit me?&quot; answer=&quot;Beyond all the technical features, one personal question is key: do the glasses feel right for you? You’ll only wear them regularly if they’re comfortable. So check not just the fit, but whether the design, function, and feel match your personal preferences.&quot; qanda} 
 Conclusion: More than just sun protection 
 Sports sunglasses are more than a stylish add-on. They can be a game changer for safety, comfort, and performance. Models like the Oakley Sphaera Slash show how  thoughtful design, high-end materials, and smart features  can help you train harder, stay safer, and see more clearly—no matter how demanding your workouts are.

                 Hiking with kids – how to avoid common mistakes and enjoy the trail 
  Hiking with kids sounds like the perfect family outing—but it often ends in frustration and tears. Steep climbs, itchy clothes, or poorly timed breaks can quickly spoil the fun. To turn your next hike into a real outdoor adventure, we’re breaking down five common mistakes—and how to avoid them with smart planning and kid-friendly gear.  
 Too ambitious? Why shorter is sweeter 
 A summit challenge or a long ridge hike might sound rewarding to adults—but for kids, it can be too much, too soon.  Boredom ,  tired legs , and a  loss of motivation  are often the result. 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Exploring and playing calls for the right gear.&quot; img} 
 Our tip: Keep the route short and  full of things to explore . A stream to splash in, a rooty trail to balance on, or a scenic lookout with a fun backstory—these turn a simple walk into an adventure. 
 And once the kids are climbing and playing, they’ll need gear that keeps up. The  Lilletind Kids Pants by Bergans  are made for just that:  durable, stretchy , and ready for action. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Discover kids&#039; outdoor pants by Bergans   
 Sweat and stiffness: when clothes ruin the mood 
 A clammy shirt or stiff jacket can ruin even the best hike. Kids are especially quick to get uncomfortable—and when they are, the complaining starts. 
 Better solution: Choose  breathable functional fabrics  over cotton. The  Junior 3L Shell Jacket  is  light, weatherproof, and built for all-day comfort —even when the skies turn. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Find more kids&#039; outdoor jackets here   
 Heavy loads: why less is more 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;With the right backpack, kids carry with pride—not pressure.&quot; img} 
 Kids love feeling responsible—but if their pack is too heavy, bulky, or awkward, it becomes a  burden  fast. 
 The fix: A kid-specific backpack like the  Bergans Birkebeiner Jr.  with 22 liters of volume, padded straps, and an adjustable back. 
 It lets them carry their essentials comfortably—and gives them a sense of ownership on the trail. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Browse Bergans&#039; kid-friendly backpacks   
 No plan B: when the weather turns 
 A sunny start doesn’t mean smooth sailing. Mountain weather can change in minutes. And nothing ends a hike faster than soggy clothes and grumpy kids. 
 Pro tip: Always pack a  lightweight, waterproof jacket . The  Bergans Lilletind Kids Jacket  is wind- and rainproof, yet compact and light enough to carry anywhere. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Rain on the way? Protect your child with a lightweight, reliable jacket   
 Not enough breaks? Expect a meltdown 
 {img number=&quot;4&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Regular breaks keep the mood up.&quot; img} 
 &quot;Just ten more minutes!&quot; might sound reasonable to you—but for little legs, it can feel endless.  Skipping breaks is a surefire way to drain energy and morale . 
 Try this instead: Schedule breaks for snacks, playtime, and rest. A warm  midlayer  like the  Junior Fleece by Bergans  keeps kids cozy while they refuel and recharge. 
 Toss in a small nature viewer or travel game, and you’ve got a pause they’ll actually look forward to. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Explore cozy midlayers for young adventurers   
 Why kids&#039; gear from Bergans is a smart choice 
 Bergans designs outdoor gear that meets the needs of active kids. With Element Active® fabric  (10,000 mm water column) , your child stays dry in wet weather, while  breathable material  keeps them from overheating. 
 These clothes are tough where they need to be, with reinforced panels and child-friendly cuts for freedom of movement. 
  Reflective details  and  grow-along hoods  add extra safety and practicality. And with many bluesign®-certified models, you’re choosing sustainable, long-lasting clothing for every adventure.

 Must-haves for a great family hike 
 Great hikes start with great gear. Here’s a quick checklist to help you prepare: 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Packing list&quot; items=[&quot;Waterproof jacket with hood&quot;,&quot;Breathable clothing in layers (incl. fleece and spare shirt)&quot;,&quot;Comfortable, durable pants&quot;,&quot;Kids&#039; backpack with chest strap&quot;,&quot;Plenty of water and kid-friendly snacks&quot;,&quot;Sun protection: hat, sunscreen, sunglasses&quot;,&quot;Small seat pad for breaks&quot;,&quot;First-aid kit with plasters and tick remover&quot;,&quot;Tissues and wet wipes&quot;,&quot;Small toy or game for the trail&quot;] paperlist} 
 Now you&#039;re all set—for little adventures with a big impact! 
 Final thoughts 
 Hiking with kids  isn’t about distance or elevation—it’s about fun, connection, and creating shared memories . With the right route, gear, and attitude, your next family hike can be a real highlight. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Make your next hike unforgettable—with the right gear for young explorers

                 Perfect connection to the trail: running shoes built for control 
  Steep climbs, rough terrain, sudden weather shifts—trail running pushes your limits. So what if your shoes didn’t just keep up but helped you stay one step ahead? Today’s high-performance trail running shoes do exactly that, giving you control, stability, and confidence with every stride.  
 Why control is everything on the trail 
 Whether you&#039;re navigating rocky ridges, muddy slopes, or winding forest paths, trail running is as much about surefootedness as it is about stamina. When footing gets sketchy, even the fittest runners can slip, slow down, or risk injury. 
 That’s why the right shoes matter. You need trail runners that deliver control, cushioning, and traction—built to handle the unexpected. 
 Fit and support: it starts with comfort 
 Control starts with a secure fit. A  sock-like construction  molds to your foot, reducing pressure points and preventing rubbing—especially over longer distances. Seamless uppers like  Skinknit®  wrap the foot comfortably, offering a natural, distraction-free feel. 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Cushioning and support must go hand in hand on the trail.&quot; img} 
 Cushioning and energy return: smoother strides up and down 
 Trail surfaces change fast. That’s why a responsive midsole matters. A  high-rebound EVA midsole  delivers the perfect balance between shock absorption and energy return—keeping you nimble uphill and protected on descents. 
 Stability and protection: keeping you upright 
 Twisted ankles, stumbles, sharp rocks—trail runners know the risks. That’s why  foot guidance and protection  features like the  Trail Suppronation® Bandage  and  3D Heel Cage  are key. They stabilize the foot without limiting your natural range of motion. 
 Outsole and grip: because traction isn’t optional 
 Good grip isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. On wet, muddy, or loose terrain, every millimeter of traction matters.  Vibram Megagrip  rubber and  aggressive 3.5 mm lugs  offer superior grip and agility so you can run with confidence. 
 Trail running redefined: the X-Bionic Terraskin 
 The  X-Bionic Terraskin  isn’t just a shoe—it’s a system. Pairing cutting-edge footwear with a purpose-built performance sock, it reimagines what trail support can be. 
 What you get: precise control, effective cushioning, and climate-regulating comfort—from your first step to the last push up the summit. 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Why the Terraskin sets new standards:&quot; items=[&quot; Skinknit® upper:  seamless, elastic, and tongue-free—it fits like a second skin and eliminates pressure points.&quot;,&quot; Speedframe® tech:  fuses upper and sole for powerful, efficient strides.&quot;,&quot; High-rebound EVA midsole:  absorbs impact and returns energy when you need it most.&quot;,&quot; Vibram Megagrip with Spinweave® tread:  delivers top-tier traction on wet, rocky, and unstable surfaces.&quot;,&quot; Open-cell insole with vent channels:  keeps your feet cool and dry—even on long runs.&quot;,&quot; X-Socks with Suppronation® Bandage and Gripfix® yarn:  support ankle stability, enhance stride mechanics—and match your shoes in style.&quot;] paperlist} 
 What does that means for you?&amp;nbsp;Simply put: you can run farther, safer, and more efficiently. This system of materials and biomechanics reduces overload, increases stability in every condition, and keeps your feet secure no matter how many miles you cover.&amp;nbsp;No more pressure points, sweaty feet, or slips. You stay focused on your rhythm, your pace, and your trail. 
 The models at SportFits

                 Which outdoor pants suit you—and a better future? 
  Some hikes stay with you forever—because the trail suddenly disappeared or the view left you speechless. These are the kinds of moments that turn into stories you’ll share for years. And for days like these, Maier Sports makes outdoor pants that do more than just perform—they’re built to last and built for what’s next.  
 Designed with purpose: the LOOP Collection by Maier Sports 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Experience the outdoors. Shape the future. With the LOOP Collection.&quot; img} There are plenty of outdoor pants out there. But how many will go the distance—and then return to the production cycle when they’re done? That’s exactly the idea behind  Maier Sports’ LOOP Collection . 
 Each pair is 100% recyclable, produced with a climate-conscious approach, and designed to be remade into something new when the time comes. 
 A  QR code  connects every item to a proper recycling process—bringing real textile circularity to life. LOOP pants deliver Maier Sports’ signature fit, size variety, and reliable outdoor function.

 6 smart questions to ask before buying outdoor pants 
 {qanda question=&quot;What do I need the pants for?&quot; answer=&quot;Are you heading out on a tough mountain hike, taking casual day trips, or just looking for something versatile for everyday use? Depending on your plans, you’ll need to prioritize function, durability, or lightness.&quot; qanda} 
 {qanda question=&quot;What kind of weather should I be ready for?&quot; answer=&quot;Rain, sunshine, or those in-between seasons? Choose pants that match the climate—breathable, water-repellent, and fast-drying fabrics can really make a difference.&quot; qanda} 
 {qanda question=&quot;How much freedom of movement do I need?&quot; answer=&quot;On longer hikes or steeper climbs, stretch really counts. Elastic fabrics and ergonomic cuts help you stay comfortable—even when scrambling or climbing.&quot; qanda} 
 {qanda question=&quot;Which length and fit do I prefer?&quot; answer=&quot;Full-length, zip-off, capri, or shorts? Choose the style that fits both your activity and your comfort preferences.&quot; qanda} 
 {qanda question=&quot;Is packability and weight a factor?&quot; answer=&quot;If you’re packing light or heading out for several days, space matters. Lightweight pants that pack down small make a big difference when room in your bag is limited.&quot; qanda} 
 {qanda question=&quot;What features really matter to me?&quot; answer=&quot;Zippered pockets, stretch waistbands, ventilation zones, zip-off legs—small details can have a big impact. Think about what makes your time outside easier and more comfortable.&quot; qanda} 
 Part of something bigger 
 With the LOOP Collection, Maier Sports shows that sustainability isn’t about compromise—it’s about progress. These pants are made for the  days that turn into stories . For rain, for summits, for spontaneous detours. And when they’ve had their adventure? They’ll be remade into someone else’s new favorite. 
 Whether you need zip-offs for alpine adventures or lightweight shorts for sunny days, this collection has you covered—with gear that’s built to last, and designed for tomorrow.

                 Endless clothing: monomaterial and the circular economy 
  Imagine your favorite jacket not only joining you on countless adventures, but also returning to the production cycle once it’s worn out. Sounds good? Here’s how innovative materials and a true circular approach are transforming sustainability in the outdoor industry.  
 Why recycling is so difficult in the outdoor sector 
 Outdoor apparel has to do a lot: protect from rain, wind, and cold, while staying lightweight and tough. To achieve that, manufacturers often  blend materials —like polyester, elastane, and cotton. 
 These mixed materials are a huge obstacle when it comes to recycling. Different fibers are difficult to separate and  nearly impossible to reuse efficiently . As a result, high-quality outdoor gear often ends up in landfills. 
 What makes monomaterial different 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Ternua combines performance and environmental protection.&quot; img}Monomaterial takes a different route: the entire garment is  made from just one material type —usually recycled polyester or polyamide. From outer shell to zippers and labels, every component is designed for recycling. 
 The benefits are huge: once the product reaches the end of its life, it can be recycled much more easily and efficiently. Instead of being burned or buried, it becomes raw material for something new. 
 Brands like Ternua are already proving how this works—and how it lays the foundation for true circular design. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Discover sustainable summer jackets   
 LOOP YOUR WEAR – taking it further 
 Monomaterial is just the beginning. With its circular project  LOOP YOUR WEAR , Ternua takes a holistic approach that rethinks how outdoor apparel is designed and made. 
 The goal: create long-lasting, high-quality garments  made entirely from a single material —from fabric and zippers to labels and trims. 
 LOOP YOUR WEAR follows ecodesign principles. Products are crafted  from recycled sources  like PET bottles or discarded fishing nets—and can later be recycled again without separating the materials. 
 The result is a  closed-loop cycle  that saves resources, avoids waste, and significantly reduces environmental impact—part of Ternua’s growing commitment to protecting people and planet. 
 {productlist category=&quot;192&quot; supplier=&quot;134&quot; limit=&quot;4&quot; showprices=&quot;1&quot; showsupplier=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; css=&quot;white&quot; productlist} 
 Fast, light, sustainable – the Ternua Adrenalite collection 
 When it comes to eco-friendly outdoor adventures, the  Adrenalite collection  is a perfect example of how monomaterial and circular thinking are already making a difference. 
 Part of the LOOP YOUR WEAR initiative, the collection uses recycled materials and smart design to ensure maximum recyclability. 
 Made for those who want to move  fast, light, and sustainably  during warmer months, Adrenalite products deliver top performance with no compromise on comfort or functionality. 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Key features of the collection:&quot; items=[&quot;Ultralight &amp;amp; packable: ideal for speed hiking, trail running, and lightweight alpine tours.&quot;,&quot;Highly breathable &amp;amp; quick-drying: keeps your body climate in check during high-intensity efforts.&quot;,&quot;Recycled monomaterials: each piece is made from a single recycled material—perfect for end-of-life recycling.&quot;,&quot;PFC-free finish: no harmful chemicals, bluesign and OEKO-TEX certified.&quot;] paperlist} 
 Summer highlights from the collection 
 {img number=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;The Helium Jacket is perfect for hiking and trail running.&quot; img} Helium JKT – your wind protection go-to  
 The  Helium JKT  is an ultralight windbreaker made from recycled monomaterial. It protects you on fast tours, repels wind and light rain, and is breathable and compact enough to stash in any pack—a must-have for cooler summer days. 
  Kripton 1/2 Zip – layer up on the go  Minimalist and versatile, the  Kripton 1/2 Zip  is a lightweight, quick-drying midlayer made from 100% recycled monomaterial. Perfect when conditions change and you need a flexible extra layer. 
  For hot days: the Neon Tee &amp;amp; Litium Shorts  Breathable, quick-drying, and fully recyclable: the  Neon Tee  offers great comfort during intense activities. 
 Pair it with the  Lithium Shorts —lightweight, stretchy, and equipped with an integrated tight—for total freedom of movement on the trail.

 Key takeaways 
 {qanda question=&quot;How can I tell if outdoor gear is truly sustainable?&quot; answer=&quot;Look for apparel made from recycled or renewable materials, produced under fair conditions, and designed for recyclability. Ternua’s products check all those boxes—crafted from recycled PET bottles or fishing nets and fully recyclable.&quot; qanda}{qanda question=&quot;Is monomaterial really better for the environment?&quot; answer=&quot;Yes. The fewer types of materials used, the easier the garment is to recycle at the end of its life. Ternua sets an example with its Adrenalite collection, where fabric, zippers, and labels are made from a single material.&quot; qanda}{qanda question=&quot;How durable is sustainable clothing?&quot; answer=&quot;Sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing performance. On the contrary—Ternua’s LOOP YOUR WEAR products are designed to be tough, long-lasting, and repairable. Ideal for demanding outdoor use.&quot; qanda}{qanda question=&quot;Can eco-friendly gear match high-performance standards?&quot; answer=&quot;Absolutely. Ternua’s Adrenalite line combines sustainability with technical features: it’s breathable, ultralight, quick-drying, and PFC-free. Proof that eco-conscious and high-performance can go hand in hand.&quot; qanda}{qanda question=&quot;What does circularity mean in outdoor gear?&quot; answer=&quot;It means keeping materials in use instead of throwing them away. Ternua puts this into practice with LOOP YOUR WEAR—from material sourcing to product design.&quot; qanda}{qanda question=&quot;Why are labels like bluesign or OEKO-TEX important?&quot; answer=&quot;They ensure environmentally and health-conscious production throughout the supply chain. Ternua is bluesign-certified and maintains clean, fair, and transparent processes—from start to finish.&quot; qanda}

                 One for all: Versatile gear for modern mountain sports 
  Whether it’s an approach, a speed hike, or a summit push—mountain sports today cover more ground than ever. That’s why adaptable gear has become absolutely essential: the right combination of materials and features can make all the difference when you&#039;re navigating changing terrain with confidence.

                 When comfort meets hiking boot stability 
  Hiking boots used to be all about toughness. But today&#039;s outdoor footwear has to do more: be dynamic, lightweight, and versatile. No one wants to choose between comfort and stability anymore. This article explores how modern hiking boots bring together the best of both worlds.  
 Why hiking boots need to be more than just tough 
 Some boots have carried hikers over rocks and roots for decades—classic, heavy-duty leather models that outdoor enthusiasts swear by. They&#039;re built to last, but they often feel bulky, rigid, and outdated in both style and performance. 
 On the other end of the spectrum are lightweight, nimble shoes that feel like you’re walking on air—but they often fall short on durability and protection. 
 Modern hikers need something in between: footwear that delivers the  support  of a traditional hiking boot with the  comfort and agility  of a lightweight shoe. For those who want secure footing without giving up speed, flexibility, or everyday wearability. 
 {img number=&quot;9&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Out on the trail, your shoes need to deliver both agility and protection.&quot; img} 
 The new generation of hiking boots: lightweight, grippy, versatile 
 Trail running shoes have become a key inspiration for today&#039;s outdoor footwear—and it makes sense. They’re light, responsive, and provide an energetic feel that many traditional hiking boots simply can’t match. 
 They also come with a  sporty, streamlined look : lower cut, sleeker, more agile. 
 But when the trail gets rugged, the hike stretches longer, or the weather turns, you need more than agility. You need  protection, grip, and stability —without sacrificing comfort or style. 
 That’s where modern hiking shoes come in. They’re built to move with you and keep you safe, with features that blend performance and durability—like the new  adidas Terrex Skychaser GTX . 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Discover the adidas Terrex Skychaser GTX models   
 {gallery number=&quot;11-14&quot; captions=[&quot;&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;&quot;]css=&quot;white&quot; gallery} 
 adidas Terrex Skychaser GTX: built for the mountains 
 The Skychaser GTX is adidas’ answer for hikers and outdoor all-rounders. It&#039;s designed to offer agility, low weight, and comfort, paired with the stability of a classic hiking boot—ideal for demanding hikes and variable terrain. 
 What makes the adidas Skychaser GTX stand out 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;What it offers:&quot; items=[&quot;GORE-TEX EPE membrane: Keeps moisture out while letting your feet breathe—perfect for unpredictable weather and wet trails.&quot;,&quot;LIGHTSTRIKE midsole: Lightweight and responsive cushioning that supports your stride even on long days.&quot;,&quot;Continental™ outsole with 5 mm lugs: Exceptional grip, even on slippery or uneven terrain.&quot;,&quot;Stability plate &amp;amp; reinforced toe cap: Protects against roots and rocks, offering solid footing on technical trails.&quot;,&quot;Recycled materials: Made with at least 20% recycled and renewable content—a step toward sustainability.&quot;] paperlist} 
 Who should choose the Skychaser GTX? 
 {img number=&quot;10&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;The Skychaser GTX is lightweight and waterproof.&quot; img}This hybrid is made for outdoor lovers who don’t strictly identify as hikers or trail runners—but enjoy both worlds. 
 If you like to move fast and stay light on your feet, without compromising on stability and protection, the Skychaser GTX is the  ideal choice . 
 Its lightweight build, responsive cushioning, and excellent grip make it a great pick for  dynamic hikes , rocky paths, and technical ascents.

 Hiking boots have come a long way—from bulky leather models to sleek, high-performance all-rounders.

                 Which hiking boot is right for your mountain adventure? 
  Whether you&#039;re heading out on a spontaneous day hike or embarking on a multi-day hut-to-hut journey, venturing into the mountains requires more than just stamina—it demands the right footwear. But what exactly defines a modern hiking boot? And how do your specific tour plans shape the requirements?  
 Not all hikes are created equal 
 A good hiking boot needs to do more than just feel comfortable: it should provide stability, protect you from wet conditions, offer secure footing on rocky terrain, and keep your feet feeling fresh for hours. But not every boot suits every tour. That’s why it’s worth taking a closer look before making a purchase. 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;A good hiking boot provides grip and security on rocky terrain.&quot; img} For  fast-paced, high-movement day hikes  in low mountain ranges or on well-maintained trails, you’ll want a  lightweight, flexible model . It supports your natural rolling motion, maximizes freedom of movement, and thanks to solid cushioning, helps protect your joints. 
 A breathable upper prevents heat build-up, while a grippy sole ensures reliable traction—even on wet leaves or rocky paths. 
 Planning a  multi-day hut trek or an alpine route with a heavy pack ? Then your focus should shift to  stability and protection . In this case, you’ll want a higher-cut boot with a sturdy upper that supports your ankles and shields you from rocks, wet conditions, and the cold. 
 A stiffer sole with aggressive tread gives you grip on loose terrain, while cushioning and a well-designed footbed keep your feet comfortable—even during long downhill stretches. 
 {productlist category=&quot;336&quot; supplier=&quot;87&quot; limit=&quot;4&quot; showprices=&quot;1&quot; showsupplier=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; css=&quot;white&quot; productlist} 
 There’s a wide range of options between these two ends of the spectrum. What matters most is matching the boot to your type of hike, terrain, and personal comfort needs. That’s how you find a boot that gets you to your destination—safely and comfortably. 
 Here’s a quick overview of what to look for in a hiking boot: 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;What makes a great hiking boot?&quot; items=[&quot;Fit &amp;amp; comfort: The boot should hug your foot snugly without pressure points. On long tours, even one blister can be a nightmare.&quot;,&quot;Sole &amp;amp; cushioning: A quality outsole (like those from specialist Vibram) ensures traction, while the midsole provides shock absorption and stability.&quot;,&quot;Weather protection: A reliable membrane (such as GORE-TEX) keeps feet dry while allowing breathability.&quot;,&quot;Intended use: Whether you&#039;re hiking forest roads or alpine trails, the level of required stability will vary.&quot;,&quot;Sustainability: Recycled materials and durable construction benefit both the planet and your wallet.&quot;] paperlist} 
 Still searching for the perfect summer hiking boot? We’ve got premium models from Dolomite that tick all the right boxes. 
 The Dolomite Nibelia GTX: Lightweight and Flexible 
 For nature lovers who prefer a particularly light and flexible boot, the  Dolomite Nibelia GTX  is the ideal choice.

 {img number=&quot;6&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;The Nibelia GTX and Vernale High Leather GTX: Lightweight vs. rugged.&quot; img} Despite its lightness, a GORE-TEX membrane  keeps your feet dry in any weather . The lightweight Vibram® sole delivers  excellent grip  and flexibility without adding weight—ideal for relaxed, fast-paced hikes in the great outdoors. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Breathable comfort for relaxed hikes: The Nibelia GTX   
 The Dolomite Vernale High GTX Models: Built for Demanding Trails 
 Dolomite’s  Vernale High GTX and Vernale Leather High GTX  models are made for alpine use and challenging trails. Both feature the trusted combo of  grippy Vibram® outsoles  and cushioning EVA midsoles, delivering  stability  and long-lasting comfort. 
 The  GORE-TEX® lining  ensures your feet stay dry—even when the mountain weather turns unpredictable. 
 Sustainable details, like recycled footbed and lining materials, further enhance wearing comfort. 
 The  Vernale High GTX  stands out with its functional  upper made of stretch textile  and TPU overlays—lightweight yet protective. A great choice for those who prefer lighter materials without compromising alpine performance. 
 If maximum durability and a premium look matter to you, go for the  Vernale Leather High GTX . Its  upper is made from LWG-certified nubuck and suede leather . The high-cut collar provides added ankle support, making it especially valuable on long hikes in rugged alpine terrain.

                 Hiking in summer temperatures? Here&#039;s how to keep your cool 
  When the sun is out and the temperatures soar, heading into nature feels like the perfect escape. But if you&#039;re hiking in 25°C and above, you&#039;ll quickly learn that the wrong gear can turn even the most scenic trail into a sweaty challenge. The good news? With the right clothing, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort or protection.  
 Light, airy, and protective – What your summer hiking gear should offer 
 In summer, freedom of movement and comfort are key – whether you&#039;re powering through a steep mountain hike or enjoying a laid-back stroll through nature. That’s where smart hiking wear makes all the difference.  Breathable fabrics  that wick away moisture help keep you dry and comfortable, even when the trail gets steep and your pace picks up. 
 Even better: some fabrics feature a cooling effect to help you stay fresh – especially when the temperature climbs above 25°C. 
  Flexibility  matters, too. That’s why your gear should move with you – offering stretch and support no matter the terrain. Whether you&#039;re scrambling over rocks, pacing through forests, or lounging after a long hike, stretchy fabrics ensure freedom of movement without restriction. 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Lightweight jackets handle sudden changes in weather with ease.&quot; img} 
 And don’t forget about the weather. Sudden summer storms or gusty winds can catch you off guard. Luckily, modern performance fabrics protect against wind and light rain without causing overheating. 
 Then there&#039;s  sun protection  – an absolute must in the mountains or anywhere without shade. Clothing with built-in UV filters lets you stay out longer without constantly reapplying sunscreen. That means more freedom, more safety, and more enjoyment on your summer adventures. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Discover the new shirts for your summer outdoors   
 Stay cool with the Halti Pallas Cool Collection 
       
 Meet the  Pallas Cool Collection  – built for everyone who wants to stay active and connected to nature, even in the height of summer. The lineup includes  two ultra-light jackets ,  technical hiking pants ,  breezy shorts , and – just for women – a  sporty skirt  that blends performance with a feminine touch. 
 Freedom, protection – And a lighter footprint 
 All pieces feature  X-Stretch fabric  that feels cool on the skin, dries quickly, and gives you full freedom of movement – perfect for hiking, travel, or chilling outdoors. 
 A true standout: the  UV protection rating of 90+ . That means you can stay in the sun up to 90 times longer without putting your skin at risk – a major plus for long summer hikes. 
 And yes, it’s sustainable, too. The collection uses  bio-based polyamide ,  bluesign®-certified fabrics , and a  PFC-free, plant-based water-repellent finish  that keeps you dry while being gentle on the planet. 
 So you’re not just choosing high-performance gear – you’re making a conscious choice for the outdoors you love. 
 Who’s it for? 
 Whether you&#039;re gearing up for a challenging day hike, a multi-day trek, or a relaxed holiday walk – the Pallas Cool Collection is made for anyone who values  performance, sustainability, and comfort  in the summer heat. Plus, its clean design looks just as good in everyday life. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Stay cool and check out the collection   
 Ready for hot-weather hikes 
 Of course, clothes aren’t the whole story. To make sure your summer hike is safe and enjoyable, here are a few essentials you’ll want to bring along: 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Hot Weather Hiking Checklist:&quot; items=[&quot;Sun protection: Hat or cap, sunglasses with UV protection, sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)&quot;,&quot;Plenty of water: Use a hydration pack or bring at least 2 liters per person&quot;,&quot;Electrolytes &amp;amp; snacks: To keep your energy and minerals balanced&quot;,&quot;Light trail snacks: Fruit, granola bars, or nuts&quot;,&quot;Shady breaks: Plan for regular stops to rest and cool down&quot;] paperlist}

                 Climbing, camping, community – Living the climbing lifestyle to the fullest 
   A great climbing trip doesn’t start at the base of a rock face—it starts with a mindset: climbing trips are more than just training sessions. They’re mini getaways, meaningful encounters, and the backdrop for stories that stay with you. It doesn’t matter how polished your technique is—what counts is the feeling of being on the move.  
 What makes a great climbing trip 
   &quot;Born from the Climbing Life&quot;  isn’t just a slogan—it’s a way of living that reaches far beyond the crag. 
 If you’ve ever hit the road with friends in a van chasing rock under your fingertips, you know: a climbing trip begins while packing, over that first camp-stove coffee, in shared laughter around the fire—and often to the soundtrack of a favorite road trip song. 
 The beauty of a great climbing trip  lies in the moments , not the milestones. In routines that fall away and connections that linger. 
 You’ll spend evenings around the fire, debating the next sector with friends, flailing on routes that looked easier than they felt—and waking up sore, yet smiling. It’s all part of a road trip that feels more like life than logistics. 
 {quote author=&quot;Nat Bailey&quot; text=&quot;A climbing trip is simply a stage with changing characters and a variety of backdrops.&quot; quote} 
 Clothing that matches the lifestyle 
 The climbing lifestyle celebrated by Black Diamond isn’t an exclusive club—it’s an open playground for anyone who loves the outdoors, embraces new experiences, shares laughter, learns, and grows in their own way. That kind of bold and colorful lifestyle calls for gear that can keep up: rugged, functional, and versatile. 
 Fineline Stretch Shell – Your all-weather insurance 
 Whether you’re in the mountains or at basecamp, the weather can turn on a dime. That’s why it’s smart to carry a solid protective layer. Black Diamond’s Fineline  Stretch Rain Shell  features their proprietary  BD.dry™ technology , delivering waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance in an ultra-light package. 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Perfect for unpredictable weather on the wall: the Fineline Stretch Shell.&quot; img} Thanks to  stretch fabric ,  underarm ventilation , and an  adjustable, helmet-compatible hood , you stay dry and mobile—whether it’s a long approach or a wet hike back. Bonus: the jacket packs into its own pocket and includes a carabiner loop. Ideal for any trip where weather and climbing intersect. 
 Comfortable tops – For days you don’t want to change 
 Vanlife often means changing less and experiencing more. That’s why having a go-to top you can wear all day is pure gold. Pieces like the  W Circuit SS Tee  and  M Circuit Hoody  are designed with that in mind. Ultra-soft, made from  synthetic fabrics , and equipped with  odor-resistant properties , these tops will take you from your first sip of coffee to sunset at the crag. 
 They  wick moisture away from the skin —perfect for sweaty hikes or laid-back bouldering sessions. And with style and function working hand in hand, you’ll look just as good during that spontaneous café stop. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; From crag to campfire: Discover shirts designed for all-day comfort   
 Sequence Pants and Shorts – Freedom to move, style for everyday 
 Lightweight, durable, and inspired by climbing: the  Sequence Pants  and  Sequence Shorts  offer everything you need for your next trip. Made from  recycled ripstop fabric , they’re breathable and built to last.  Thoughtful pocket design  gives you space for topos, tape, or sunscreen. The  padded waistband  stays comfortable under a harness, and the cut moves with you. 
 Whether you’re stretched out on a crash pad, gathered at a camp table, or strolling through town: Sequence is made for life between the moments.

 Packing list for your next climbing adventure 
 Ready to hit the crag—but what should you definitely bring? Here’s your answer: 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Don’t forget to pack:&quot; items=[&quot;Harness, belay device, and carabiners&quot;,&quot;Climbing rope (single or half, depending on the area) and quickdraws&quot;,&quot;Fineline Stretch Shell for unpredictable weather&quot;,&quot;Sequence Pants as your go-to climbing and lifestyle pants&quot;,&quot;Climbing helmet and shoes&quot;,&quot;Comfy, odor-resistant tops for maximum comfort&quot;,&quot;Chalk bag, chalk, and tape&quot;,&quot;Sleeping mat, sleeping bag, headlamp, and camp stove&quot;,&quot;Topo maps or guidebooks, possibly an offline topo app&quot;,&quot;Sunscreen, sunglasses, cap or buff&quot;,&quot;Water bottle or hydration system, snacks and energy bars&quot;,&quot;First aid kit, blister plasters, tape for your fingers&quot;,&quot;Trash bag (Leave No Trace!), multitool, lighter&quot;] paperlist} 
 Conclusion: Ready for life beyond the wall?

With Black Diamond apparel, you carry that same sense of flow into everyday life—or turn the everyday into the next chapter of your adventure. Maybe it’s this mix of freedom, spontaneity, comfort, and climbing that truly defines the classic climbing road trip—no guidebook needed.

   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Embrace the outdoors this spring with Houdini jackets   
 {video src=&quot;qmswb1mXCaY&quot; css=&quot;white&quot; video} 
 Mastering spring weather: Two layers you can count on 
 Spring can be wildly unpredictable — frosty mornings, T-shirt weather at noon, and rain showers by afternoon. For these shifting conditions, you need  versatile clothing that provides dependable protection . 
 Two standout pieces from Houdini’s collection make all the difference: The  Power Houdi  is a true classic, blending durable design, technical performance, and unbeatable comfort. But what makes a piece a classic? Maybe it&#039;s when it stands the test of time — in style, in function, and in relevance. 
 Made from Polartec Power Stretch Pro, it offers  cozy warmth, excellent freedom of movement, and smart features  like thumb loops and a snug hood. New colors like Sandstorm and Tribe Blue keep it fresh and stylish. 
 Pair it with the  Five To Nine Jacket  — a  weatherproof shell built for all four seasons . Crafted from soft, silent Reactive 3L fabric, it protects you from rain and snow without the stiff, noisy feel of typical shells. 
 Whether you&#039;re scaling chilly peaks, strolling scenic trails, or caught in an April downpour, details like a helmet-compatible hood, underarm vents, and recyclable materials show Houdini&#039;s commitment to getting every detail right.

 When summer hits: Stay cool in every moment 
 When summer temperatures soar, you need clothing so light it feels like a second skin. Two standout pieces from Houdini show how weightlessness and performance go hand in hand. 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Feel the freedom with Houdini clothing.&quot; img} 
 The  Houdini Wadi Pants and Shorts  are perfect for those sweltering days when you need maximum freedom of movement without overheating. Thanks to the lightweight, durable  Liquid Rock fabric , they’re surprisingly tough yet feather-light.  Practical pockets  make them ideal for travel, and they’re a must-pack item for any summer adventure. 
 Morning workouts, midday city strolls, or evening lounging — you need a T-shirt that can keep pace with your day. The  Activist Tee  is an all-day, everyday essential. Its blend of  Merino wool and Tencel®  keeps you dry and comfortable, naturally regulates temperature, and resists odors even after extended wear. 
 If you value doing more with fewer pieces, the Activist Tee is a prime example — because for Houdini  minimalism  doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort or performance. 
 {productlist products=[&quot;642-260724&quot;,&quot;642-160854&quot;,&quot;642-237874&quot;,&quot;642-137874&quot;] colors=[&quot;703&quot;,&quot;174&quot;,&quot;D40&quot;,&quot;F26&quot;] showprices=&quot;1&quot; showsupplier=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; css=&quot;white&quot; productlist} 
 Why every detail matters 
 Houdini&#039;s &quot;Everything Matters&quot; philosophy reminds us: Truly great outdoor clothing isn&#039;t about chasing trends — it&#039;s about craftsmanship, premium materials, and responsible design. It&#039;s about quality over quantity — pieces that are thoughtfully created, built to last, and ready for anything. 
 As we step into spring and summer, it&#039;s worth choosing gear that&#039;s not just for one season but for the journeys ahead. Because when every detail matters, your clothing becomes more than something you wear — it becomes part of your story.

                                            Demands on mountain gear and clothing are constantly growing. That’s why it’s important to know what really matters when choosing the right equipment — and which products deliver exactly that.

                  The mountains challenge us — not just physically, but when it comes to gear as well. Today’s adventurers want more than just protection from the elements. Lightweight design, high performance, and sustainability have become must-haves.  
 What to wear on the trail 
 Whether you&#039;re powering up a long ascent or pushing the pace on a trail run,  every gram  matters. But lightweight clothing also needs to be  weatherproof, breathable, and easy to stash  in your pack. It’s a tricky balance — one that modern materials are getting better and better at striking. 
 {img number=&quot;4&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;The Phantom Jacket is extremely lightweight while offering reliable protection.&quot; img}Take the  Phantom Jacket  from Rab. Made with 2.5-layer Pertex® Shield fabric, it weighs next to nothing but still stands strong against wind and rain. With a full-length zipper, stowable hood, and  smart extras  like elasticated cuffs, it proves that featherlight gear doesn’t have to skimp on features. It’s all the protection you need, without the bulk. 
 Great outdoor apparel should move with you and handle  changing conditions  with ease. That’s why today’s layering pieces blend stretchy panels, breathable fabrics, and insulating fills. 
 The  Xenair Alpine Flex  Jacket brings it all together. Its breathable outer, light insulation, and  stretchy fleece inserts  keep you warm and dry without overheating. Side stretch panels let you move freely, whether you’re climbing, scrambling, or just powering uphill. It works perfectly as a midlayer in variable weather or on its own during active ascents. 
 Smart packing: When your backpack goes the extra mile 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;The Veil XP Backpack offers plenty of accessible compartments.&quot; img}It’s not just your clothing that needs to perform — backpacks today have to keep up, too. If you’ve ever been caught in a sudden downpour, frantically wrestling a rain cover into place, you’ll know: waterproofing isn’t optional. 
 The  Veil XP Backpack  is made for exactly that. With  taped seams and weatherproof materials , it stands up to serious rain — no extra drybags required. 
 Its  flexible back system  molds to your shape for all-day comfort, even on longer treks. Plus,  smartly placed compartments  keep your essentials — snacks, rain jacket, headlamp — always within reach.

 What does PFAS-free actually mean? 
 You’ve probably heard the term floating around the outdoor world — but what are PFAS, really? Short for per- and polyfluorinated substances, these chemicals were once widely used in waterproof gear. They&#039;re super durable but also hard to break down and  potentially harmful to health  and the environment. 
 Rab has taken a stand. As &quot; The Mountain People ,&quot; the brand is deeply rooted in nature — and that means doing its part to protect it. 
 Many of Rab’s products are already  free from PFAS , and by the Fall/Winter 2025 season, all fabrics — even zippers and seams — will be completely PFAS-free. 
 Instead, Rab is turning to  advanced coatings  that are safer for the planet while still delivering top-notch performance. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Learn more about Rab’s shift away from PFAS   
 In a nutshell: Smart design meets technical expertise 
 Today’s outdoor gear needs to go the extra mile. Performance, weight, comfort, versatility, sustainability — it’s a lot to ask. But Rab shows it’s possible. With innovative details, cutting-edge design, and a strong commitment to the environment, the brand proves you don’t have to compromise.

                 Clear Vision for Every Terrain: Find the Right Cycling Glasses 
  The new biking season is here – and with it comes a renewed desire for long rides, intense training, or relaxed spins on pavement and gravel. But when lighting changes, the sun gets in your eyes, or you&#039;re speeding down a trail, that’s when top-quality cycling glasses really show what they’re made of.  
 Why you should never ride without sports glasses 
 Cycling glasses should be a staple in every rider’s gear. They reliably protect your eyes from  UV rays , which can cause long-term damage to the retina, as well as from wind, dust, and insects. 
 Just as important is the  protection from glare  and sudden changes in light – like when riding from sun into shade or dealing with low-angled sunlight. Quality eyewear minimizes visual strain,  relieves your eyes , and ultimately boosts both your focus and enjoyment on the bike. 
 Even more crucial: the right lenses enhance your  visual perception  – making your ride safer, more responsive, and more relaxed. 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;The right cycling glasses keep you safer on the road.&quot; img} 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Better protection, smoother riding: Discover cycling glasses   
 RIDESCAPE: Vision Tailored to Your Terrain 
 Shimano’s&amp;nbsp; RIDESCAPE lenses  are scientifically engineered to highlight the environmental features that matter most while riding. Instead of washed-out colors or overblown contrasts, you get precise, crisp vision – customized for road, gravel, forest trails, or bright sun. 
 They stand out thanks to impressive&amp;nbsp;optical clarity and carefully chosen materials. The ultra-clear polyamide substrate ensures especially  natural color reproduction . Combined with a low refractive index, it delivers razor-sharp,  distortion-free vision . 
 At the same time, these lenses are  exceptionally lightweight  and durable – ideal for long rides in any condition. 
 A scratch-resistant coating and  full UV400 protection  guarantee lasting clarity and reliable eye safety. 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;Lens Options at a Glance:&quot; items=[&quot; RD (Road) : Enhances contrast on pavement and makes potholes more visible – ideal for high-speed road riders.&quot;,&quot; GR (Gravel) : Highlights differences between dirt and asphalt – perfect for gravel riders tackling varied surfaces.&quot;,&quot; OR (Off-Road) : Softens harsh light transitions between shadow and sun – optimal for mountain bikers and trail riders in dense terrain.&quot;,&quot; ES (Extra Sunny) : Reduces light transmission in intense sunlight – recommended for summer rides with high UV levels.&quot;,&quot; CL (Cloudy) : High light transmission for overcast days or dusk – ideal for evening rides or diffuse lighting.&quot;,&quot; HC (High Contrast) : Cuts glare and boosts color perception – helpful for riders needing quick reaction times.&quot;] paperlist} 
 These lenses aren’t just a gimmick – they enhance your reaction time, reduce eye fatigue, and help you maintain full visibility in every situation. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Learn More About RIDESCAPE Technology   
 Which glasses suit your riding style? 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Off-road riding demands lenses that handle rapid light changes.&quot; img} Shimano offers the right eyewear for every riding scenario – each optimized with RIDESCAPE lens technology. The choice of frame impacts comfort, ventilation, and weight, but it’s the lenses that truly tailor the glasses to your riding style. 
 The  S-Phyre SL  is built for performance-driven road cyclists. With its  nearly frameless design , weighing under 24 grams, and excellent fit, it delivers maximum aerodynamics at high speeds. Paired with RIDESCAPE RD or HC lenses, it ensures crystal-clear vision on pavement, enhances contrast, and helps you spot imperfections early – perfect for long rides and racing. 
 The  Pulsar  is a top choice for trail or gravel riders who value flexibility. Its  convertible frame  switches between full and half-frame styles, giving you options in terms of both weight and look. With RIDESCAPE OR lenses or a photochromic version, it’s highly adaptable to changing light – great for mountain bikers or touring riders navigating sun-dappled forest trails. 
 If  versatility and everyday usability  are key, the  Equinox  is your go-to. It offers a wide field of view, effective ventilation, and  superior comfort  – whether you’re on pavement, gravel, or light off-road paths. Paired with RIDESCAPE GR or CL, it’s ideal for riders frequently transitioning between surfaces or riding in cloudy or low-light conditions. A reliable all-rounder for active cyclists.

 Conclusion: Good vision is more than just comfort 
 Better vision equals safer rides. With RIDESCAPE, Shimano takes cycling eyewear to the next level – through technological innovation, precisely tuned lenses, and thoughtful comfort features. Especially on challenging routes, in shifting light, or during long sessions, this can make all the difference.

                 Why seamless cycling apparel makes all the difference 
  During the summer months, every bike ride puts high demands on your gear: sweat, constant movement, and long distances can quickly push traditional seams to their limits. But thanks to modern technology, there&#039;s a smart solution to this issue.  
 When seams become a weak spot 
 As the temperatures rise, so do the expectations for sportswear. It needs to be lightweight, breathable, and comfortable—but above all, it shouldn&#039;t chafe. 
 Especially during intense rides, seams can cause real trouble. They rub against sensitive skin, create pressure points, and can lead to painful irritation on long distances. This is particularly true in high-friction areas like the seat zone or underarms, where even a single seam can become a potential weak spot. 
 Seam-free comfort thanks to ultrasound technology 
 Whether you&#039;re road cycling, trail running, or hiking—your clothing has to perform. That’s why Löffler developed  hotBOND® , a technology that replaces traditional seams with  ultrasonically welded joints . 
 How hotBOND® enhances your cycling experience 
 Whether it’s a short ride or a long-distance tour, hotBOND® apparel puts an end to chafing. Thanks to high-stretch materials, you enjoy full freedom of movement in every situation. The tear-resistant and durable construction ensures reliable performance, even under heavy use. And the best part? Every piece is 100% Made in Austria, manufactured directly at Löffler’s headquarters in Ried im Innkreis. 
 The noticeable difference? Apparel with hotBOND® technology fits like a second skin—with zero chafing and zero restrictions. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Discover cycling apparel with hotBOND® technology   
 Two highlights for spring and summer 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;With Löffler, you&#039;re perfectly equipped for cycling season.&quot; img}The concept sounds great—but how does it hold up in practice? The  Women Bike Jersey Full Zip Barkly Hotbond RF  and the  Men Bike Jersey Full Zip Core Hotbond  show how seamless comfort and technical innovation come together in real life. 
 These jerseys feature a clean, sporty design with an aerodynamic focus. The slim fit provides a  snug, performance-ready silhouette  that moves with you without feeling restrictive. Since there are no irritating seams, the overall feel remains smooth and comfortable. 
 What’s more,  reflective elements  enhance your visibility in low-light conditions—a big safety bonus for early rides or evening returns. 
 Looking for the right shorts to go with your jersey? Check out the  Bike Tights Hotbond RF SQL . They combine seamless comfort with high visibility and an ergonomic design. The  SQlab-XP/6 pro seat pad  offers extra support on long rides, minimizing pressure points and enhancing your overall experience. 
 Sustainability with a system: Löffler brings transparency to supply chains 
 Löffler doesn’t just talk about sustainability— they live it . As one of the few manufacturers still producing primarily in Austria and Europe, they take transparency seriously. 
 Each product features a  QR code on the hangtag  that lets you trace its journey—from yarn to finished garment. 
 This system is already in place for many collections. If you care about  ethical production and environmental responsibility , Löffler offers a truly credible solution. 
 Conclusion: Ideal for anyone ready to ride seamlessly 
 Whether you&#039;re tackling long tours, intense runs, or daily training rides, Löffler’s hotBOND® technology delivers  comfort where it matters most . With standout pieces like the Bike Jersey Full Zip Core Hotbond and the Bike Tights Hotbond RF SQL, the brand shows how innovation, sustainability, and performance can come together in perfect harmony.

                 From the crag to the café: Versatile climbing apparel 
  Whether you&#039;re scaling a rock face, bouldering indoors, or enjoying a laid-back picnic in the sun—Chillaz apparel keeps you looking sharp and feeling great. Based near the Zillertal Valley in Tyrol, Chillaz specializes in clothing that’s designed to impress both climbers and everyday adventurers.  
 Freedom to move, wherever you climb 
 Every climber knows the situation—you&#039;re about to nail that one crucial move, but just as you reach, your pants suddenly dig in or your shirt creeps up, throwing you off focus at the worst possible moment. In climbing,  freedom of movement  isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. 
 Chillaz gets it. That’s why their apparel is built around maximum mobility. Elastic fabric blends ensure unrestricted motion with every move—whether you&#039;re out on the rock, bouldering at the gym, or balancing on a slackline. 
 {img number=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Climbing or chilling? With Chillaz outfits, you don’t have to choose!&quot; img} 
 Smart material combinations hold their shape even during dynamic movements while remaining soft and comfortable to wear. And with  breathable fabrics , you’ll stay cool and dry—even when you&#039;re pushing your limits. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; These climbing pants guarantee maximum freedom of movement   
 From the boulder gym to brunch next door 
 Chillaz blends  function with lifestyle . Clean cuts and stylish colors make each piece street-ready—without compromising on performance. That means no need to change outfits if you&#039;re heading straight from the crag to the city. 
 With  thoughtful fits  and soft fabrics, Chillaz clothing feels great all day long. Whether you&#039;re working from home, traveling, or meeting friends: Chillaz is all about embracing a lifestyle of freedom and flexibility. 
 {productlist category=&quot;8&quot; supplier=&quot;178&quot; limit=&quot;4&quot; showprices=&quot;1&quot; showsupplier=&quot;0&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; css=&quot;white&quot; productlist} 
 What makes climbing apparel sustainable? 
 When you&#039;re out in nature, you quickly realize how precious and fragile our environment is. After hours on the rock, you want gear that not only performs but also aligns with your values. 
 Unfortunately, many brands still rely on synthetic fibers and environmentally harmful production methods. 
 Chillaz takes a different approach: Using  eco-friendly materials  like organic cotton, modal, and Tencel, the brand proves that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand. The fibers come from responsible sources and are processed in Europe under fair working conditions. 
  Short transport routes  and a strict avoidance of harsh chemicals in the dyeing process—Chillaz goes the extra mile by properly disposing of dyes, even at higher costs—complete their sustainable approach. 
 So you can enjoy climbing with a clear conscience, leaving nothing behind but chalk marks. 
 {video src=&quot;7grVSwufNm4&quot; css=&quot;white&quot; video} 
 Chillaz philosophy 
 Chillaz isn’t just a climbing brand—it’s  a way of life . The name merges the spirit of Tyrol’s Zillertal Valley with the chill vibe of relaxation and the thrill of outdoor freedom. 
 Choosing Chillaz means embracing adventure, a deep connection to nature, and a conscious lifestyle. And that’s exactly what makes the brand stand out.

 What makes the ideal trekking tent? 
 A reliable trekking tent needs to do more than just shield you from the elements. Weight, packability, durability, and comfort are all crucial factors – especially on longer or more demanding trips. Here are the key things to consider before making your purchase: 
 {paperlist headline=&quot;What to consider when choosing a tent:&quot; items=[&quot;Weight &amp;amp; pack size – The lighter and more compact your tent, the easier it is to carry.&quot;,&quot;Weather protection – A high waterproof rating and tough materials keep you dry and safe in rain, wind, or snow.&quot;,&quot;Ventilation &amp;amp; condensation control – Good airflow prevents moisture from building up inside.&quot;,&quot;Ease of setup – Quick-pitch tents save time and frustration, especially in bad weather.&quot;,&quot;Interior space &amp;amp; comfort – Depending on your destination and group size, layout and space can make all the difference.&quot;] paperlist}. 
 Ultralight for long treks, tough enough for storms 
 Nordisk has made a name for itself as a premium trekking tent brand. Across its different product lines, the Danish outdoor specialist offers solutions for every camping challenge – from minimalist ultralight designs to rugged, stormproof all-rounders.

 Clear Vision for Your Adventures 
 {img number=&quot;4&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;Adapts to changing light conditions.&quot; img}Founded in 1985 in Treviso, the outdoor brand  Rudy Project  merges Italian elegance with innovation. With decades of experience in developing high-performance eyewear, the company is raising the bar with the Nyad model in terms of design, protection, and comfort. 
 Thanks to advanced  RP Optics technology , the lenses of the Rudy Project Nyad offer UV protection up to 400 nm while reducing glare and distortion. Depending on the model, you can choose from different lens options, including the  ImpactX Photochromic 2 technology , which automatically adapts to changing light conditions. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Shop the Rudy Project Nyad now and experience perfect vision!   
 Adaptable to Any Terrain 
 One of the standout features of these glasses is its  removable side shields . They block lateral light entry, providing optimal protection in extreme environments such as  high mountains or reflective water surfaces . 
 Additionally, they enhance visual perception by minimizing reflections and providing a clearer and more comfortable view. In less intense conditions, you can simply remove the shields and customize the glasses to your needs. This makes the Nyad extremely versatile and suitable for a wide range of outdoor sports. 
 {img number=&quot;3&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;The glasses performed impressively while cross-country skiing.&quot; img}We tested the Nyad while  cross-country skiing  and were impressed by how well they adapted to the changing light conditions. 
 The combination of lightweight construction, unobstructed vision, and optimal protection against dazzling snow made the adventure on the trails much more enjoyable. The comfortable fit is particularly noteworthy, as the glasses never felt intrusive or uncomfortable at any point. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Discover more from Rudy Project!   
 Sustainable and Made for Every View 
 The Nyad is not only a high-performance pair of sports glasses, but it is also ideal for  those who wear prescription glasses , as they can be easily fitted with corrective lenses. 
 At the same time, Rudy Project is committed to sustainability with the Nyad: It is made from  Rilsan Clear® , an eco-friendly material derived from castor oil. This ensures durability and flexibility while also helping reduce plastic waste. Rudy Project thus demonstrates eco-friendly innovation without compromising on quality and performance.

The Basque brand Ternua demonstrates through its collections that functional outdoor apparel can both protect and actively support nature.  
 A Milestone: The B-Corp Certification

 The Marmot Guides Down Hoody: The Ultimate Winter Essential 
 {img number=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; caption=&quot;The Guides Down Hoody provides maximum warmth.&quot; img}If you&#039;re looking for  maximum warmth  and reliable protection against the harsh winter weather, the   Guides Down Hoody   is your go-to choice.

                 SportFits Product Presentation: The BACH MOA 3 Lite Tent 
 When it comes to outdoor adventures, the right tent is crucial for comfort and safety. Since every outdoor activity has different demands for a mobile home, it can be difficult to find a tent that meets all needs. However, with the MOA 3 Lite, BACH has achieved exactly that. In this article, you&#039;ll discover why this tent is the perfect companion for your next night under the stars. 
 Lightweight Camping Adventure 
 Weighing only 1,900 g, the BACH MOA 3 Lite Tent is ideal for long trekking tours or multi-day camping trips. Due to its  lightweight  and compact design, you can easily pack it in your backpack without putting too much strain on your back. Not only is this tent impressively light, but it also stands up to wind and weather, thanks to its material: waterproof ripstop nylon walls and floor, along with a sturdy aluminum frame, ensure you won’t have to fear stormy nights. 
 A Spacious Interior for Comfort 
 {img number=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; caption=&quot;Plenty of ventilation options for warm summer temperatures.&quot; img}Despite its lightweight design, the BACH MOA 3 Lite impresses with its  thoughtful use of space . The tent offers a generous interior  for three people  and their gear. Particularly notable is the large vestibule, which provides extra storage space for shoes, camping furniture, and other essential items. Breathable walls and ventilation openings ensure that the air between you and your fellow campers stays fresh and pleasant. 
 Easy Setup and Practical Details 
 Another advantage of the BACH MOA 3 Lite is its simple and quick setup. Even those with little camping experience can have the tent  ready in no time , thanks to color-coded poles and just a few parts. To securely anchor your mobile shelter, 22 pegs are included. 
 If you&#039;re caught in the rain or just need quick shade, no problem—the outer tent can be set up without the inner tent, offering you immediate protection. With two stylish color options, this tent leaves nothing to be desired in terms of aesthetics. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Shop the BACH MOA 3 Lite right now   
 For Eco-Conscious Campers 
 PFCs (per- and polyfluorinated chemicals), often used for waterproofing outdoor products, have a proven negative impact on the environment. That’s why BACH uses the  PFC-free  alternative HeiQ Eco Dry. This guarantees a long-lasting, sustainable waterproofing of the tent—without harming the environment. 
 Advantages at a Glance 
  1. Compact : The tent takes up hardly any space while you&#039;re on the go. 
  2.&amp;nbsp; Lightweight : Weighing only 1,900 g, the BACH MOA 3 Lite is extremely light. 
  3. Durable : Sturdy aluminum construction and weather-resistant materials.

 Running: Super-light men&#039;s outfit 
 When it comes to running, the right equipment is crucial for comfort and performance. This time we&#039;re showing you a combination of different running brands that will help you stay cool even in warm temperatures. 
 {imagewithproducts number=&quot;2&quot; headline=&quot;&quot; showsupplier=&quot;0&quot; showprices=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; products=[&quot;66-314032-21026-L&quot;,&quot;570-1910262-999999-5&quot;,&quot;49-33069-M-600-445&quot;] colors=[&quot;21026&quot;,&quot;999999&quot;,&quot;600&quot;] imagewithproducts} 
 First up is the soft and extremely light  Odlo Active 365 Linencool T-shirt . On hot days, the mix of recycled polyester and linen provides  natural cooling . The model also offers high comfort, breathability and optimized moisture regulation. The shirt, made in Europe and treated with ZeroScent technology, fights bacteria as soon as they form and also has an  odor-inhibiting effect . This means you can feel completely comfortable during sweaty activities in the summer. It is available in different colors, so you are guaranteed to find your favorite! 
 We also provide the perfect addition with the  Craft Core Essence Shorts . The loose-fitting training pants are not only great for jogging. You can also enjoy  maximum freedom of movement  and functionality when doing other sports or in the gym. The super-light pants made of 100% polyester have an adjustable waistband and two slanted side pockets. Whether in classic black or another cool color, you will certainly use this model often. 
 But one of the most important things in the entire running outfit are the running shoes! With the  Scarpa Spin Ultra  we present you with a real all-round talent that is suitable for both simple jogging rounds and speed hiking. Thanks to the Sock-Fit LW construction, the breathable mesh material adapts to your foot like a sock and guarantees  high wearing comfort without annoying pressure points . If you ever work out on rough terrain, the 3D TPU toe cap protects you from unpleasant contact with rocks. You will also be impressed by the cushioning, stability and grip. 
   &amp;gt;&amp;gt; What you should consider when buying running shoes   
 Great women&#039;s equipment for your next trekking tour 
 For anyone who prefers to go on beautiful hiking trails in the summer, we have a great  equipment tip , because both a backpack and hiking poles are indispensable companions on longer tours 
 {imagewithproducts number=&quot;3&quot; headline=&quot;&quot; showsupplier=&quot;0&quot; showprices=&quot;1&quot; showuvp=&quot;1&quot; products=[&quot;18-1-176&quot;,&quot;702-OZ61023&quot;] colors=[&quot;014&quot;,&quot;pantherblack-neonorange&quot;] imagewithproducts} 
 What many people may not even know: There are also backpacks specially designed for women, such as the  Osprey Aura AG 50 . A big advantage here is that the  AntiGravity back system  makes the luggage seem much lighter than it actually is. In addition, the 3D mesh hugs the back and hips comfortably. Handy side compartments, a Stow-on-the-Go fastening system for trekking poles or an integrated rain cover are practical features whose functions you certainly don&#039;t want to miss on your tour. 
 To make your hikes even safer and more pleasant, we recommend using a high-quality hiking pole. The  MT Calu from One Way  is one of the top models among telescopic poles. Depending on your height, you can individually adjust it to lengths of 110 to 145 cm. The material provides the necessary  lightness and stability : while the upper segment is made exclusively of carbon, the two lower segments are made of aluminum. Thanks to the MT EVA handle with handle extension and the easily adjustable loop, you can enjoy a secure hold in the terrain. 
 If you also like winter hikes, you can simply replace the MT Basket 40 with alpine pole baskets and the model is ready for use in winter too!
