Mammut: A symbol of power

Power is not only shown through the logo, but also thorugh the high quality products. Starting in the very first years of the company, when founder Kaspar Tanner was still braiding his ropes on the streets, these already had to be able to last in all weather conditions. Since then, the company has transformed into a worldwide known and well recognized brand. Throughout the years, many innovations in the area of climbing ropes have been developed. As for example the very first glacier ropes made of nylon. Due to these, Mammut has attained several awards. But since not only ropes, but also all other equipment is essential when being in the mountains, Mammut has carried out several acquisitions which enable them to support mountaineers with all other outdoor equipment needed. Next to outdoor apparel, jackets and pants for climbing, hiking, skiing, running and backcountry touring, climbing gear as well as safety equipment is produced. Helmets and harnesses, slings, carabiners and other climbing tools, as well as avalanche trackers and backpacks, probes and shovels are part of the range of products.

Mammut is the best choice for the worst case

What could be more important in the mountains than being safe? Nothing really. This is why Mammut is investing continuously into new technologies and functionality. “When time is your enemy, fast is your friend”, this is what Mammut’s avalanche tracker beacon Barryvox commit to. Barryvox was initially developed in 1868 and since then, its technology has been improved and revised throughout the years in order to achieve the easiest and fastest possible way of handling, as well as faultless reliability. Mammut is also putting much effort into the further development of its airbag backpacks. Using the Mammut Airbag Technology 3.0, the airbags have become noticeably lighter and offer more protection than before. Wanting to use your backpack not only in the powder, but also for climbing, hiking or any other sport? No problem at all! The airbag system can easily be removed. It can also be installed in any other compatible Mammut Backpack. As of this, you will be able to use the same airbag for all your adventures: whether you are going on a day tour with your 15 liter backpack, or touring the mountains for several days, needing up to 45 liters of storage space.
