We have designed Rottefella Moment shorts for sudden changes in temperature. With zippers on both sides, you can put them on quickly without taking off other garments or shoes. This smart solution comes as a result of years of experience, and understanding our users.
Taking 90 years of outdoors experience one step further. Since 1927, Rottefella has challenged nature by inventing and developing technology that has made people enjoy the great outdoors. Now, we take our knowledge and experience a step further, by launching an apparel collection designed especially for staying comfortably warm while performing all outdoors activities, from skiing and mountaineering to hiking and running. Exercising outdoors has numerous health benefits, and we
believe people who enjoy being outdoors generally enjoy life. However, we do acknowledge that being outdoors can be a challenge. A Norwegian saying goes something like “There is no bad weather, only bad clothing,” and with this in mind, we have designed clothing that is tailored to keep you warm, dry and visible, regardless of weather and temperature. Being outdoors is a part of Rottefella’s Norwegian heritage. While most of our experience comes from innovating world-class bindings for
cross-country and telemark skiing, we have been outdoors for almost a century, inventing and reinventing, testing and testing even more. We know how important it is to focus on the body’s core functions while exercising; the neutral position of the body for optimal skiing performance and being at just the right temperature to fully enjoy being outdoors. This is our heritage, and this is what we will continue to work with in the future. POWERED BY YOU.

Rottefella’s apparel is based on our understanding of the body’s temperature regulating system. With that in mind, it became clear that the best solution is to combine different fabrics and layer them.
It all starts with the body. The body is an amazing biological machine, tailor made to move, and optimized for being outdoors. Whether you ski, hike, climb, run or bike, there are two main things that are important to enjoy your activities and performing at your best: staying dry and maintaining the right temperature. Rottefella’s core philosophy has been to assist the body to always operate in
a neutral position. This philosophy is also where we started when we started to develop our first garments. By striking a balance between warm and cold, while staying dry, we believe the body performs at its best. This way, you can enjoy being outdoors over longer periods of time.
and conditions. Regardless of the season, temperature and precipitation, Rottefella apparel ensures that you stay warm and dry.

mapping, we have found the perfect balance for athletes to enjoy all outdoors activities.
We have analyzed the needs and demands of the different parts of the body, and designed clothing that are isolating or breathable in all the right places, further contributing to your body maintaining the optimal temperature. By utilizing full thermal body
Quality, technology and degree of innovation has been in focus when selecting partners and fabrics for our new collection. Many of the fabrics used in our collection are BluesignÂŽ certified. This eliminates harmful substances right from the beginning of the
manufacturing process and sets and controls standards for an environmentally friendly, safe and resource efficient production. While researching how the body regulates its temperatures, we realized that Rottefella garments would have to combine fabric panels, each with specific attributes, to help the body reach and maintain the optimal
temperature, while staying dry. By combining fabrics that are optimized for ventilation, wicking, insulation, compression and weather protection, and placing these fabrics in the right locations, Rottefella has created garments that are especially developed and designed to help people enjoy being outdoors even more. By transporting sweat away from the body, wicking, and keeping you comfortably warm while protecting you
from the elements, you can be able to be active outdoors regardless of your activity level, outdoors temperature and weather. In cooperation with our partners, PolartecÂŽ and Schoeller, both with decades of experience, we have combined what we believe are the best fabrics available, from natural wool fibers to highly technical synthetic fabrics.
Our goal has been to deliver thermal body mapped garments through three layers. By combining all three layers you reach the ideal effect for the season, environment and activity and achieve full effect of moisture management heat regulations, insulation and weather protection.
Letting warm air out is a key attribute to all garments used for outdoors activities. All Rottefella apparel utilize both ventilating fabrics, used in accordance with our thermal body mapping research, as well as more mechanical solutions, like strategically placed YKK®-zippers, to allow warm air to exit if you need to cool down.
Wicking is the ability of fabrics to move moisture away from the body and the fabric itself. This is the most important task of our first layer garments, Rottefella Dynamic half-zip, round neck and tights. Good wicking capabilities helps keep the body dry and cool even during activities. By using Polartec® PowerWool™, we utilize the various advantages of natural and synthetic fibers, moving sweat away from your body and keeping you dry.
Wearing warm clothing does not necessarily mean you are comfortable while doing activities. Rottefella’s second layer clothing, Impulse and Rapid jackets and the innovative Moment shorts, make sure you stay comfortable warm, without overheating. Finding this perfect temperature balance, in all weather conditions and during both static and dynamic activities, is the main task of our insulating garments.
Our first layer garments, Rottefella Dynamic, both half-zip, round neck and tights, provide compression on the lower arms and calves. Wearing tight, supportive garments during activities can help your performance. Wearing compression garments after sports and activities can apply the kind of pressure that has been proven to cut down on swelling and inflammation, making you less sore and recovering faster.
Outer layer garments, like Rottefella Tempo jackets and pants, are worn to protect you from the elements, rain, snow and wind. We use Polartec® Neo Shell® in our garments to make sure water and wind is stopped from reaching your body, without restricting the release of excess body heat and moisture vapors. A protective and durable shell, with advanced wicking capabilities, keeps moisture away from your body.

First layer: Dynamic Round Neck: Fiery Red, Bright White Dynamic Tights: Fiery Red, Bright White
Rottefella first layer garments are assembled with different fabric panels, each with a specific task. The clothing closest to your skin transports moisture away from the body and keeps you warm and comfortable regardless of what activities you enjoy. This next-to-skin comfort layer is your foundation garment; wool and synthetic blends combined for perfect durability and comfort. Polartec® Power Wool™ increases comfort
by retaining insulation and breathability, and provides natural odor resistance without additives. Polartec® Power Dry® offers strong wicking properties, a faster dry and better performance, while Polartec® Power Stretch® is used for the zones of your body that needs more compression.
If you’re active outdoors during cold temperatures, a good set of first layer clothing is crucial. They’ll keep you dry as you sweat by wicking moisture away from your body and spreading it throughout the garment. This helps regulate your body temperature as you heat up during activities and then cool down during rest.

The main task of the second layer of Rottefella’s clothing is to help you reach and maintain the optimal temperature, where you perform your best. Rottefella second layer is a light weighted insulation layer that works in synergy with the first layer to transport moisture away from your body. The goal of the second layer is to retain heat and keep you comfortably warm without restricting your mobility. To accomplish this we have used the latest innovations from Polartec® Power Wool™.
Polartec® Power Wool™ combine the advantages of natural and synthetic fiber creating a durable fabric with natural odor resistance, adding comfort by retaining insulation and breathability even when wet. Polartec® Alpha® together with Scolleller Spirit are wind and weather resistant and fast drying, trapping air close to your body so you stay comfortably warm.
Rottefella second layer garments provide the perfect balance between isolation and bulk, keeping you warm while not restricting your mobility. The garments also provide ventilation through your layers with rear ventilation panels and breathable fabrics.

Rottefella outer layer garments protect you from the elements; rain, snow and wind, while not restricting your movement. A durable, waterproof and highly breathable outer layer with advanced wicking capabilities and 4-way stretch. An outer shell is an important piece of clothing in rough weather. It needs to protect you from the elements to keep you warm and dry, but at the same time it needs proper ventilation and breathability so that perspiration doesn’t condense to cold moisture on the inside of
your shell. The Polartec® Neo Shell® panels stops water and wind without restricting the release of excess body heat and moisture vapor, while the Polartec® Power Stretch® gives a comfortable and enhanced 4-way stretch, for more support and stability during movement.
At the same time, our garments are designed for being in activity, and do not restrict your movement, so you can enjoy your next ski trip or run through the woods, no matter the temperature or weather. Rottefella outer layer is built up Bluesign® approved fabric and trims.

The devil is in the details. At Rottefella, we believe our attention to the small details is what sets us apart from the competition, from our choice of partners and materials, to functions in all our garments. When we started to design the Rottefella apparel collection, we took 90 years of outdoors experience, and distilled it down to the minor details that make our clothing unique. We have chosen what we believe are the best materials for outdoors activity. Based on thermal body mapping, we have combined fabrics to perfectly harmonize with the
body’s temperature regulating system. In addition, we have chosen colors that make you more visible when the natural light starts to fade. We have placed our zippers where they function the best, and use fabrics that stretch, to optimize movability. Woven wool fabrics with channels allow warm air to be captured, keeping you comfortable. New regulations ban the use of silver and aluminum for odor control, at Rottefella we only use fabrics with natural odor resistance.
In addition, seams are protected from the inside with water resistant fabric. These are just some of the details we have paid special attention to during our design and development process. We believe every minor detail sums up to products that really stand out from the crowd, and that will make your outdoor activities more enjoyable.
