SALEWA
Salewa is a leading alpine brand specializing in technical equipment, clothing, and footwear for mountaineering, climbing, and hiking. Founded in Germany in 1935 and headquartered in the Italian Dolomites, it is renowned for its innovation, lightweight design, and high-quality materials. Its name is an acronym for saddlery and leather goods.
History and Origin
The name Salewa originally comes from Sattler Leder Waren (Saddlery and Leather Goods, in German). Founded in Munich in 1935, the company shifted its focus to mountaineering in the 1950s, quickly becoming known for creating the first backpack for Andean expeditions and its famous lightweight, adjustable crampons. Since 1990, it has been part of the Oberalp Group, with its headquarters in Bolzano, Italy, at the foot of the Dolomites.
Product Lines
Salewa is primarily divided into the following categories of technical and adventure gear:
- Technical Clothing: Down jackets, waterproof garments with Gore-Tex technology, windbreakers, and pants designed to withstand extreme weather conditions.
- Footwear: Approach and trekking boots and shoes. Salewa is widely recognized for incorporating technologies such as the 3F system for enhanced ankle and heel support.
- Technical Mountaineering Equipment: Harnesses, helmets, technical backpacks, sleeping bags, and climbing gear.
Brand Philosophy
Salewa's visual identity, represented by an eagle, symbolizes strength and vision in the high mountains. Today, its collections are characterized by the concept of "alpine design," combining traditional materials with cutting-edge technologies focused on lightness, ergonomics, and protection in harsh environments.
