LIGHT & FAST – SET YOUR PACE

Product highlights | The new Fast Hiking collection – athletic minimalism for the mountains

April 13, 2021

Leave the everyday routine behind and savor thrilling experiences in the heart of nature: Mammut’s Fast Hiking collection brings athletic minimalism to the mountains. Lightweight, space-saving and weather-resistant – everything you need to set the pace for ambitious personal goals. Travel lighter – and further.

Fast hiking is a fusion of alpine hiking and trail running: ambitious mountain sports enthusiasts combine a physical challenge with an experience in nature for efficient training in the mountains. In rather technical terrain, on or at times beside hiking trails, they cover long distances. This allows them to access more remote areas or wilder natural settings, with a constant sensation of weightlessness as they move lightly and at speed through mountain landscapes.

Mammut’s new lightweight yet robust Fast Hiking collection has therefore been designed to provide optimum support for top performance and offers an impressive combination of functionality and minimalism. You only wear and carry what you actually need. This makes you even faster and more flexible in the mountains, leaving you free to concentrate on this amazing experience in the heart of nature.

The Fast Hiking collection consists of specially selected products that are particularly suitable for dynamic activities and impress with their high breathability. This minimalist approach is reflected in a consistent color concept. Stretch materials for maximum freedom of movement, ideal moisture management, ultra-light and highly compressible – a collection geared toward top performance.

“Breathability and appropriate insulation are central factors for fast hiking. Additionally, anyone moving at speed will soon work up a sweat. This makes it even more important to make sure you don’t chill as soon as you stop. We therefore use synthetic insulation, for example, in the Rime Light In Flex Vest. Even if this insulation becomes wet through perspiration, it still provides reliable warmth. The synthetic material also dries very quickly,” explains Jeanne Mochel, Head of Outdoor Apparel. With Mammut’s new Fast Hiking collection, you’re ideally equipped to explore and push your own limits – whenever you strike out.
