Mammut & Polartec Celebrate ISPO Award 2024 Wins For The Eiger Nordwand Advanced ML Hooded Jacket & FL Air Mesh Vest

Polartec proudly announces that two Mammut garments, engineered with our groundbreaking fabrics, have won the prestigious ISPO Award 2024. Designed for the most demanding alpine environments, the Eiger Nordwand Advanced ML Hooded Jacket and Eiger Nordwand FL Air Mesh Vest have been recognised for pairing a high-performance, climbing-specific design philosophy with best-in-class fabric innovation that favours the use of recycled and recyclable materials. In doing so, Mammut and Polartec are redefining what’s possible in premium alpine gear.

The Eiger Nordwand Advanced ML Hooded Jacket is a durable, breathable mountaineering midlayer that excels in warmth, stretch and resilience. Crafted with a combination of Power Stretch Pro, Polartec Power Dry, its use of post-consumer recycled nylon delivers optimal warmth, 4-way stretch and abrasion resistance. The jacket’s Polartec Power Dry mesh fabric inserts, made with 100% recycled polyester, provide optimal airflow in high-sweat zones to improve breathability, moisture management and drying time. As a result, the highly versatile hooded midlayer ensures optimal insulation, unbeatable stretch and freedom of movement, and abrasion resistance for demanding alpine conditions.

Mammut’s base-layer Eiger Nordwand FL Air Mesh Vest features Polartec Alpha, a lightweight next-to-skin insulation that combines maximum functionality and minimal weight with highly breathable thermoregulation. In addition to providing an optimal warmth-to-weight ratio, Polartec Alpha keeps you comfortable when stationery and sheds excess heat during intense activities. It is also made from recycled materials, helping minimise environmental impact while intelligently adapting to high-altitude conditions. As a bonus, its athletic fit and next-to-skin design make it easier to layer in unpredictable weather.

Committed to the belief that performance and sustainability can go hand in hand, Polartec and Mammut are pushing the boundaries of what mountaineering apparel can achieve. Both winning garments use recycled materials, both leverage Polartec’s premium textile innovations, and both put durability and repairability at the core of their design, ensuring they perform wash-after-wash, year-after-year.

“These important ISPO Awards underscore Polartec’s commitment to advancing fabric innovation that performs beyond expectations while ensuring sustainability for future generations,” said Karen Beattie, Director of Product Management at Polartec. “It’s an honour to partner with Mammut to achieve these milestones.”
