Outdoor clothing for women & men
Good outdoor clothing doesn't have to sound as technical as possible. It has to feel right outdoors.
If your body temperature rises during the ascent, wind picks up at the summit, and you later walk through the city, your clothing should be as uncomplicated as possible.
Grüezi bag® develops functional outdoor clothing for women and men precisely for this purpose : from merino T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts to lightweight vests and insulating outdoor jackets and coats.
Depending on the product, different material concepts are used. These include WoodWool with merino wool and lyocell, DownWool® with down and wool, and SilkWool with wool and silk.
Here you can find clothing for hiking, trekking, bikepacking, cycling, climbing, camping, traveling, skiing and everyday life – tailored to different temperatures and activities.

What outdoor clothing can you find at Grüezi bag®?
The right clothing depends on what you plan to do.
A strenuous mountain hike presents different challenges than a cold winter day. Weight plays a more significant role in bikepacking than in a leisurely stroll. And when traveling, a garment is particularly practical if it can cover as many situations as possible.
That's why you'll find various product groups at Grüezi bag® that can be combined with each other.
outdoor jackets
A good insulated jacket should provide warmth without causing heat and moisture to build up underneath it.
Depending on the model, our jackets therefore use either DownWool® or SilkWool . Both concepts combine different materials to tailor warmth and moisture management to the specific use.
From lightweight models for active tours to warmer jackets for cold conditions, you'll find different options for women and men.
Outdoor vests
An insulating vest is one of the most versatile layers for outdoor use.
It warms the torso, allows plenty of freedom of movement for the arms and can be easily worn over a T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt.
This makes them particularly practical for hiking, cycling, travel, transitional seasons and as an extra layer in cooler temperatures.
Merino T-shirts
The WoodWool T-shirts combine 50% fine merino wool with 50% lyocell.
Merino wool supports temperature and moisture regulation and has odor-inhibiting properties. Lyocell ensures a pleasantly soft and smooth feel.
This results in a functional shirt that works just as well on hikes as it does when traveling or in everyday life.
Merino Longsleeves
When it gets colder, WoodWool longsleeves offer additional coverage without sacrificing the material properties of WoodWool shirts.
They are particularly suitable for changeable weather, spring and autumn, higher altitudes, travel and as a first layer in a flexible clothing system.

Coats, skirts & other outdoor clothing
Outdoor functionality at Grüezi bag® doesn't end with jackets and shirts.
Depending on the collection, you will also find insulating coats, skirts, and accessories such as beanies and headbands.
This allows you to supplement your clothing system to suit the temperature, activity, and personal perception of warmth.
Outdoor clothing for hiking and trekking
When hiking, your clothing often experiences several different situations in a single day.
It's chilly in the morning. You warm up during the ascent. There's a breeze on the ridge. Your body cools down again during the summit break.
That's precisely why a flexible layering system is usually more practical than a single extremely warm garment.
The first layer: WoodWool Shirt
Clothing worn directly against the skin should be comfortable and able to handle moisture.
WoodWool T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts made from 50% merino wool and 50% lyocell are suitable here.
Merino wool helps regulate temperature and moisture. At the same time, its odor-inhibiting properties can be particularly useful on longer hikes.
The second layer: vest or insulated jacket
When the temperature drops or you take a break, the insulation layer comes into play.
Vest for maximum freedom of movement
A vest warms the upper body while allowing arms and shoulders to remain mobile. This is particularly comfortable during active deployments.
Lightweight jacket for fluctuating temperatures
A lightweight insulated jacket can be put on and taken off quickly and is particularly suitable for tours with frequently changing loads.
Warmer jacket for cold conditions
In low temperatures or during longer breaks, a more insulating jacket may be the better choice.
WoodWool: Merino wool meets lyocell
WoodWool is the material combination that Grüezi bag® uses in its functional shirts.
The WoodWool T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts are made from 50% fine merino wool and 50% lyocell.
What are the benefits of merino wool?
Merino wool can absorb moisture and release it back into the environment, thus supporting a balanced body climate.
Additionally, wool has odor-inhibiting properties – practical for longer tours, trips, or a shirt that shouldn't be washed immediately after every wear.
What are the benefits of lyocell?
Lyocell is an industrially produced, wood-based cellulose fiber.
In the WoodWool material, it ensures a particularly pleasant soft and smooth feel.
Why are merino wool and lyocell combined?
Because a performance shirt shouldn't just function technically. It also needs to feel comfortable against the skin even after many hours.
WoodWool therefore combines the functional properties of merino wool with the soft feel of lyocell.
DownWool®: Down and wool as insulation
DownWool® combines the high warmth and loft of down with the moisture-regulating properties of wool.
The idea behind it is particularly interesting for outdoor clothing: Moisture is generated during movement, while the insulation should also reliably provide warmth during a break.
The wool content can absorb moisture, thus supporting a more balanced climate within the insulation.
When is DownWool® clothing suitable?
Depending on the model, DownWool® clothing is of interest for, among other things:
- Hiking
- Hiking
- bikepacking
- cycling
- Winter hiking
- Skiing
- cold breaks on the mountain
- Travel
- Everyday life at low temperatures
SilkWool: lightweight insulation for lots of movement
SilkWool is used in selected Grüezi bag® jackets and vests and combines wool and silk, among other materials.
The insulation concept is primarily intended for active use where freedom of movement, a comfortable body climate and relatively light insulation are required.
When is SilkWool interesting?
- during high physical activity
- while hiking
- while cycling
- during trekking
- during the transition periods
- at milder temperatures
- to travel
Which insulation is better for you always depends on activity, temperature, wind, other layers of clothing and your personal perception of warmth.

Outdoor clothing for bikepacking and cycling
When cycling and bikepacking, clothing must combine several contrasting elements.
Heat is generated during the ascent. The wind chill cools the body. During a break, the exertion level drops immediately. At the same time, as little unnecessary weight as possible should be carried.
A combination of a breathable functional shirt and a light insulating layer can therefore be particularly flexible.
While driving
A WoodWool shirt forms a comfortable first layer and supports moisture and temperature regulation.
In windy and cooler conditions
A light jacket or vest provides additional insulation.
During the break
A quickly available insulating layer helps to reduce heat loss after stress.
Outdoor clothing for skiing and for cold days
At low temperatures, the coordination of the individual layers plays a particularly important role.
The first layer should be able to handle moisture. The insulation follows on top – lighter or warmer depending on the temperature and activity level.
For winter hiking, skiing or cold days you will find various DownWool® models at Grüezi bag®, designed to meet different warmth requirements.
Outdoor clothing for travel & van life
Traveling quickly reveals which clothes are truly versatile.
A shirt for hiking that will also be comfortable later when strolling around town. A lightweight jacket that works just as well in the camper in the morning as it does in front of a restaurant in the evening. A vest that takes up little space and is quick to put on.
The more situations a garment can sensibly cover, the less you need to pack.
That's precisely why WoodWool shirts, lightweight insulated jackets and vests are particularly interesting for travel, camping and van life.
Which outdoor clothing suits me?
The most technically sophisticated product is not automatically the best product for your needs.
Before you buy, ask yourself these questions:
What do you want to do with it?
Hiking, trekking, climbing, cycling, skiing, traveling or everyday life?
How intensely do you exercise?
The higher the activity level, the more important breathability and effective moisture management become.
What temperatures are you traveling in?
You need different insulation for a mild spring day than for a winter day.
What layers do you wear underneath or on top?
Outdoor clothing should ideally be viewed as a system. A shirt, light insulation, and, if necessary, weather protection can be combined more flexibly than a single garment for every conceivable situation.
How important are weight and pack size?
When bikepacking, trekking and traveling, weight and packing volume can play a bigger role than in everyday life.
How to properly care for outdoor clothing
The correct care depends on the specific material.
WoodWool Shirts
WoodWool shirts should be washed according to the respective care instructions on the wool cycle. Often, after normal use, simply airing them out is sufficient.
DownWool® Clothing
For jackets containing down and wool, you should carefully follow the care instructions for the specific model. Incorrect detergent or improper drying can impair the insulating properties.
SilkWool Clothing
The product-specific care instructions also apply to SilkWool. Only wash functional insulating clothing when necessary, and always refer to the care label.
