Alpina Prolan Women Vest

There, where in winter everything is white, the slopes are steep and we pursue Alpina's favorite pastime, conjure turns in the snow, graze in summer sheep. Big sheep, small sheep, white and black. They all have one thing in common: wool. A sustainable raw material that has not only protected generations of people from the cold, but has also been a valuable means of trade and still is among mountain peoples. In recent years, wool has been displaced by synthetic fibers as a material for sportswear. Now the warming, protective, natural and sustainable fabric is experiencing a renaissance. Alpina's developers, in collaboration with lavalan®, a Bavarian wool production company near Dinkelsbühl, have created something unique: PROLAN™. Wool that protects. Not only from the cold, bad smells or plastic in the sea. PROLAN™ is sheep's wool that has been processed in such a way that the cushioning properties go beyond the functionality of conventional protectors. What sounds incredible at first, has been verified in numerous tests and confirmed by TÜV. The new Alpina protector with PROLAN™ meets the standard 1621-2 Level 1. PROLAN ™ is an innovation that has not been seen in the sport industry for a long time.
