MAMMUT
Mammut comes from one of the original rock climbing locations: Switzerland. Founded in 1862, the company has 150 years of experience making top quality climbing gear. The brand continues to strive to produce the best gear made today, including ropes, backpacks, harnesses, headlamps, foot wear, protective gear and other accessories.
Mammut focuses on environmental and social responsibility. From fundraising to support Peruvian mountain guides to using environmentally friendly materials, Mammut aims to protect the environment that climbers love so much. For example, they use fairly-produced organic cotton and fabrics made out of recycled materials. Mammut also offsets much of its CO2 production and collects used outdoor gear to recycle. This is a brand you can buy with a clean conscience.
When you climb, the gear you use can be the difference between a scary fall and a fun day. With well over a century of experience in the climbing industry, this brand’s designers know what climbers need to stay safe. Mammut Cord comes in different sizes and strengths for different climbing needs. It has a strong, braided core and is strong and easy to tie. Mammut’s Pro Cord has benefits over an old fashioned cord. For example, the outer cord sheath and inner core do not slip. The cord also has greater strength and a stable form.
Mammut makes a selection of other safety-oriented gear, including avalanche packages. Many extreme climbers and skiers like to venture into avalanche territory, where an avalanche package can save lives. The Mammut Pulse Plus Light Avalance Package comes with a probe, shovel and transceiver to help locate and recover avalanche victims. The transceiver in this avalanche package uses three antennas and has a 360-degree view. Mammut’s Element Plus Light Avalance Package also comes with a probe, shovel and transceiver to help find avalanche victims. The transceiver allows you to find victims precisely in close range and also to determine whether there are more deeply buried victims.
Vision is incredibly important in all types of outdoor sports. The Mammut Lucido X-Zoom Headlamp allows the wearer to focus the angle of light between 5 degrees and 45 degrees, giving you control over your field of view. The brand’s X-Shot Headlamp has an LED spotlight and two lateral LED floodlights for extended visibility. The headlamp works for up to 90 hours with 3 AA batteries and reaches a distance of 110 meters.
With a commitment to safety and professional-quality gear, Mammut supports professional athletes through a yearly team climbing journey in some of the best climbing locations in the world. The brand also provides support for individual snow and climbing athletes. Through the sponsorship of world-class professionals, Mammut is able to support deserving athletes and gain expert insight into the needs of climbers and snow sport professionals. With all the history, safety innovations, and environmental and social responsibility that Mammut brings to the table, climbers of all levels are able to find the gear needed to achieve their full potential and meet their own environmental standards.
