The Mammut Eiger Extreme Nordwand 6.0 collection represents the latest iteration of the brand's high-performance mountaineering apparel and equipment. The development process involved collaboration with professional athletes and field testing in severe environmental conditions.
During the conception and production phases of its high-performance mountaineering line, Mammut placed a major emphasis on reducing ecological impact. This is realized through the use of fabrics containing a high percentage of recycled materials and the exclusion of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The products are designed with an emphasis on longevity and repairability, as well. The company even provides repair kits for certain items.
The Mammut Eiger Extreme Nordwand 6.0 collection is structured as an integrated layering system, intended for use in high-altitude and technically demanding alpine pursuits.
