Redefending the extreme.
Extreme products for extreme applications: now in its fourth generation, the new Mammut Eiger Extreme collection is still setting standards for alpine mountain sports clothing. Rather than building on the functionality, lightness and design of previous successes – the entire collection has been completely redesigned, and in many cases realigned to the needs of climbing athletes. Abrasion-proof textiles and new combinations of materials withstand extreme mechanical strains and offer maximum protection against climatic influences. The result is a new Eiger collection developed in close cooperation with top athletes from the Mammut Pro team who, like the first generation from 1995, are not only defining the changing face of mountain sports, but playing their part in shaping it.

Developed directly on the athlete
From high alpine expeditions to ski tours and ice climbing – the new Eiger Extreme collection offers the perfect product system
for extreme scenarios. Each garment has been designed and tested together with athletes from the Mammut Pro team and improved until every last detail meets the Mammut motto of “Absolute alpine”. One of the top priorities was ensuring that each item feels like a second skin and adapts ideally to the athlete’s typical movements in every situation. The new patterns were therefore developed directly on the athlete and open up a whole new level of freedom of movement. Mammut has focused on the most modern materials, top workmanship and optimal functionality. The products are so radically robust, light and ergonomic that they are equally suited to the most difficult ascents as well as new speed records.

Technologies
Special ergonomic tailoring based on the human anatomy and the strategic use of elastic materials allow unrestricted freedom of movement. For example, the Mammut Vertical Motion ConstructionTM includes underarm and pant gussets. pre-shaped knee and elbow sections and ergonomically positioned seams on down jackets.

Jackets with Mammut High Reach TechnologyTM do not ride up when you stretch upwards and instead sit perfectly in place to guarantee optimal weather protection, even during climbing movements. The tailoring featuring a complex sleeve-gusset construction is based on a three-dimensional pattern, opening up a whole new level of vertical freedom of movement when climbing.

Thanks to carefully thought-out positioning and a combination of high-quality functional materials on areas of the body typically prone to perspiration and cold, the Mammut Thermo Management SystemTM provides optimal weather protection, heat retention, moisture-wicking and high breathability.

The backer for the Nordwand and Ultimate Eisfeld products has been developed by GORE-TEX® exclusively for Mammut. A bright orange material on the inside stands out more effectively in alpine terrain in poor visibility or an emergency. The jacket can be reversed to make it easier to spot, even with a dark or neutral outer color.

Design
The new design language of the Eiger Extreme collection is inspired by a microscopic view of two basic alpine elements: ice and rock. Clear, sharp structures and shapes meet organic looks. This exciting interaction results in a unique color and design concept. Vibrant shades inspired by light refracted in ice crystals are complemented by peaceful gray tones reminiscent of rocks. Criss-crossing sharp lines in single colors and a mélange print look revolving around clear X shapes add stylish highlights. The exclusive new inner side creates a striking contrast with a vibrant bright orange shade that takes us back to the roots of the Eiger Extreme collection.

Nordwand Pro HS Suit MenNordwand Pro HS Suit Men
The Nordwand Pro HS Suit is the ideal choice for extreme alpinists: its one-piece construction eliminates the weak spot between jacket and pants and it is the only product on the market to offer absolute weather protection from head to foot. The shining star of the Eiger collection was developed in close cooperation with the Mammut Pro Team athlete Dani Arnold for all those who enjoy ice climbing. The suit offers fantastic freedom of movement: with stretch sections and a cut optimized for climbing, it feels like a second skin. The sophisticated underarm gusset construction of the Mammut High Reach Technology™ stops the suit from riding up or becoming overly taught during long stretches. From the stormproof hood, high-quality GORE-TEX® Pro material to the top-quality YKK zippers, ventilation openings, an inner hip belt, the Mammut High Visibility Backer™ and the new gaiter cut, this suit is a highlight in functional clothing technology.

The sophisticated underarm gusset construction of the Mammut High Reach Technology™ prevents the jacket from riding up when the wearer stretches upwards. The cut and elastic inserts make the Nordwand the ideal companion for very dynamic activities. The stormproof and helmet-compatible hood, waterproof main zipper and robust GORE-TEX® Pro ensure uncompromising weather protection. Thanks to underarm ventilation, lots of pockets, a snow skirt and a slightly wider cut, the Nordwand lends itself to a wide range of applications, from a classic shell to a down jacket, wind protection or a ski jacket for descents.

This high-tech insulation not only prevents overcooling, it also impresses with its 4-way-stretch and very good breathability. The Nordwand HS Thermo was originally designed for ice climbers and, thanks to the Mammut High Reach TechnologyTM, offers unrestricted freedom of movement. It can be used wherever a hard shell is too awkward, wet conditions are likely and insulation is vital.

Together with completely welded seams and a vertically and horizontally adjustable, helmet-compatible hood, this makes the Ultimate Eisfeld the perfect soft shell for uncertain weather conditions. The Mammut Vertical Motion ConstructionTM for optimized ergonomics during alpine movement sequences and the Mammut High Reach TechnologyTM for unrestricted freedom during climbing movements ensure suitability for alpine pursuits.

eigerjochEigerjoch Advanced IN Hooded Jacket
The Eigerjoch Advanced IN Hooded Jacket is a down insulating jacket for cold days and offers an outstanding heat-to-weight ratio. Its excellent heat performance is due to the high-quality and water-repellent goose down filling with 850 cuin fill power (PFC-free). Elastic Primaloft Gold Active® under the arms and in the hood ensures optimal freedom of movement and moisture-wicking. Despite its extremely light weight, the new Pertex Quantum® CS10 outer material is highly abrasion-proof as well as being wind- and water-repellent. Mammut High Reach Technology™ and elastic Primaloft insulation maintain full freedom of movement.

Nordwand jacketNordwand Light Mid GTX® Men
The Nordwand Light Mid GTX® Men features a board lasting construction and is the lightest fully crampon-compatible shoe in the Mammut range. A large elastic zone in the tongue and entry area come together with the elastic lining and outer fabric to increase comfort, reduce the risk of pressure points and, thanks to the doubled inner heel straps of the Base Fit 2.0® technology, improve support in the shoe. The innovative and patented Contact Control® insole technology integrates a reinforcing carbon midsole element in the damping wedge to reduce the weight, improve stability and allow greater precision in movements.
For the first time and exclusively for Mammut, MICHELIN® Technical Soles has developed a MICHELIN® mountaineering sole. The MICHELIN® Alpine Lite 3970 sole transfers MICHELIN®’s tire expertise to high alpine terrain and is dedicated to the 3,970 meter high Eiger. The innovative MICHELIN® FIBER LITE Technology reduces the weight by around 40%. A larger climbing zone for better grip on side approaches and a highly defined lug tread for optimal grip on boulders and snow make it ideal for use in high mountain terrain, in winter and on mixed tours.
