Mammut

The Masao 3 in 1 Glove consists of a thickly insulated outer glove and a thin liner. The overall package is a fairly warm glove for the usual winter applications. The liner is suitable for fine motorised activities such as operating touchscreens.

The Snow Safety Sessions organised by our long-standing partner Mammut have kicked off this season and we were there, live in the Allgäu! The event focussed on safety on the mountain - whether for ski touring or freeriding. Avalanche awareness is refreshed directly in the terrain! During a joint ski tour with state-certified mountain guides and Mammut safety experts, search scenarios are discussed, tried out and emergency equipment is tested.

The 2022/2023 season is currently in the starting blocks. The first snow has fallen, but there's not much going on in the terrain yet. Nevertheless, Christmas is already approaching, more or less suddenly! As suitable gifts for freeriders and ski tourers is always welcome, we are once again presenting the PowderGuide editorial team's Christmas wishes this year.

According to the manufacturer, the Haldigrat HS Hooded Jacket is designed for ski touring and freeriding. This slightly tailored hardshell jacket is not only attractive, but also offers optimum weather protection thanks to the 3-layer Mammut DRYtechnology™ Pro material. Wind, rain or wet snowfall are definitely no match for this garment.

As long as we are on the move, we hardly feel the cold. But who hasn't experienced it: after just a few minutes at the summit, it creeps more and more into our limbs. I admit, a change of T-shirt would be appropriate now. But exposing my skin to the icy wind? I'm just too frozen for that. So I prefer to quickly put on a down jacket.

Aconcagua fleece jackets from Mammut have been around for a really long time. At least I imagine I owned one about 15 years ago. Of course, the models change over time and there is currently a whole range of Aconcagua jackets and trousers. What they all have in common is the high-quality Polartec® Power Stretch material and their existence as a mid-layer.

At an outrageous 1.5 kilograms including the airbag unit and carbon cartridge, the bright orange Mammut Ultralight RAS 3.0 airbag backpack stands for uncompromising lightness. It is a fully-fledged ski touring backpack with a stated packing volume of a proud 20 litres and all the attachment options you need in the backcountry.

The Air HS jacket from Mammut's Aenergy series is designed as a ski touring jacket. The material should be windproof, waterproof and hard-wearing on one hand, but light and breathable on the other.

January wasn't exactly at its best: down in the valley, climbing and mountain biking were already back on the agenda and up on the mountain, the last remnants of snow and artificial snow slopes were slowly but surely melting away. But before we get back into winter mode and start thinking about ski tours and freeride adventures, we ask ourselves when we last really took a close look at our equipment.

The backpack specialists from Bavaria have extended their tried-and-tested freeride backpacks with integrated back protector from the Line series with the Removeable Airbag System from Mammut, creating a complete freeride backpack. I tested how this multifunctional backpack performs on the mountain for you.

The Swiss outdoor outfitter Mammut and the Swiss freeride pro Jérémie Heitz have jointly developed a hardshell combination especially for freeride use. Top materials and sophisticated features promise a lot. We have tested whether the combination delivers what it promises in practice.

Ich habe die Hose Ende letzter Saison bekommen und wusste ehrlich gesagt erst nicht genau, wofür ich sie einsetzen soll. Nun ist es mir klar: die Hose ist für nahezu alles zu gebrauchen. Ok, bezüglich Stylefaktor und Funktionalität könnte es am Wiener Opernball schon auffallen, dass du einen edlen Zwirn für andere Einsatzbereiche trägst, aber sonst bist du mit der Hose überall safe.
