- The first jacket with the insulation combination of down and wool (DownWool®) and with the insulation combination of silk and wool (SilkWool).
Why different insulations? It's physics!
When there are large temperature differences, there are different physical requirements.
DownWool®
Down, for example, provides excellent insulation but is sensitive to moisture, and you tend to overheat quickly. Wool, on the other hand, is robust, resistant to moisture, and provides an exceptionally balanced climate. Combined in DownWool®, consisting of 70% RDS-certified down and wool from Alpine sheep, we achieve entirely new properties. DownWool® is more resistant to moisture, as proven by laboratory tests from the renowned Hohenstein Testing Institute. At humidity levels of up to 90%, it has been shown that DownWool® actually increases its loft in high humidity. Wool also regulates temperature and climate, creating a pleasantly dry climate in your sleeping bag or jacket.
The materials prove: Nothing beats nature when it comes to insulation and comfort. It just takes the right combination. Therefore, we determine the optimal amount of wool and down for each sleeping bag and jacket to achieve a balanced microclimate.

DownWool Hybrid
For extreme cold, we use our DownWool hybrid construction. The great advantage of this layered construction is that the moisture that builds up in the sleeping bag does not condense and freeze on the outer material as usual, but is absorbed by the alpine wool and released into the cold ambient air. The down is dry and fluffy, so that it retains its excellent insulating effect even at extremely low temperatures well below -15 °C.
