Schoeller develops a revolutionary fabric construction for Mammut

The new Eisfeld Light SO Collection from Mammut Sports Group integrates various material properties into a single fabric. This is made possible by a revolutionary development from Schoeller Textil AG.

Exclusive soft-shell quality with outstanding clothing comfort

The Eisfeld Light SO Collection captivates with minimalist traits and particularly light and well-designed products as well as purist and functional aesthetics. The outstanding breathability and wind-resistance of the exclusive schoeller®-dryskin soft-shell weight is ideally suited to Alpine climbing and rapid ascents. By eliminating seams, this special 4-way fabric and exceptional abrasion resistance offer greater freedom of movement and increased clothing comfort.

Lasting waterproofing is provided by the new fluorocarbon-free ecorepel® Bio finishing technology from Schoeller, based on renewable raw materials. The fabric receives additional heat and UV protection through the coldblack® technology which prevents the textiles from heating up. This further increases the clothing comfort of the garment on warm days.
