SALEWA: New trekking collection

We're living in a veritable information revolution: a time of transformation, rapid change and constant interaction. Perhaps that's why we're seeing more and more people, with different levels of experience, training and outlook, drawn to the mountains and nature. These spaces represent fixed landmarks to which we return, places that enable us to apply our own experience and skills. They are places where people can express their diversity by connecting with each other and reconnecting with themselves.



Hiking in the mountains, crossing desert landscapes and remote plains, moving in the heart of nature. Accepting the journey and the experience, respecting our own pace, absorbed in ourselves or with like-minded people who enjoy sharing similar experiences. All these elements are part of our quest for a new multi-sensory, mental and physical well-being.

It was this state of mind that formed the starting point for the design of the Salewa Spring / Summer 2024 collection. The team began by studying the changing habits and methods of getting around in nature, carefully observing newcomers to the mountains and new outdoor enthusiasts.




Salewa's designers took note of the language they use and their interpretation of products and solutions as a natural transition between the urban and the outdoors. The new Progressive Trekking collection is dedicated to these users, find Salewa hiking boots. For all those who love travel and nature. To all those who consciously choose to wear natural fibers and love the way they feel on their skin. To those who consciously choose to make environmentally-friendly and sustainable purchases. And who want to feel at one with their environment when venturing to inspiring new destinations. WE_AR* NATURE / We are nature and we wear it.





What exactly are Alpine Hemp and Sorona® technical natural fabrics? Hemp is a gift from nature. It performs naturally, resists tearing and is extremely durable, soft, breathable and thermoregulating. WithAlpine Hemp, Salewa has developed a natural hybrid fabric that it has used extensively in various collections over the years because of its ideal properties for outdoor use. By blending hemp with synthetic yarns, such as recycled polyester, and organic cotton or elastane, it becomes possible to create robust fabrics that are nonetheless soft, stretchy and pleasant to the touch.

For its new trekking collection, Salewa goes one step further. For the first time, the jackets and pants in this collection benefit from a hybrid woven construction that blends hemp with biosourced Sorona polymer fibers, made in part from corn starch. This blend provides hemp with additional natural stretch properties, eliminating the need to add elastane. The resulting blended fabric offers greater softness and long-lasting thermoregulatory comfort, while the Durastretch inserts provide excellent abrasion resistance and additional stretch performance.
