EDITO BY M A R TA M A N ZONI

Less is more. Clothing consumption has doubled in the past 20 years. According to Global Fashion Agenda & The Boston Consulting Group, we have become compulsive clothing eaters: consumption has doubled in the last 20 years. We buy more and more products to use them less and less. How to get rid of this trend? That’s a good question. Meanwhile, before buying, we might ask ourselves: do I really need it? The best purchase, in fact, is sometimes no purchase at all or a purchase made with intelligence. Then maybe let's ask ourselves: will I be able to “pass” it on to my son? In fact, a sustainable product means quality and a long life full of adventures together. The pandemic has acted as an accelerator of some processes and reflections. More and more brands now use organic fibers and innovative materials that help reducing the impact on the environment, and some companies have realized that producing new collections every season costs a lot, pollutes a lot and it is unnecessary. Those picky consumers are in fact becoming increasingly demanding and critical. And it seems that some actions, like burning unsold products left over from stock for those

sassy environmentalists just isn’t fair. The power of people in a capitalist society is (also and above all) their own wallet. So yes, it is possible to affect the economic system by boycotting a company that encourages disposable and exploiting workers and preferring another one that creates products in a responsible way. It is also true that we don't like to always dress the same. So why buying less is better? You don't need to be a Taliban, just avoid excesses. Here are seven good reasons why LESS (less pollution, less slaves) IS MORE (more quality, more ethics, more money saved).

much time did you work to earn what you are about to spend on another product?

1. Don’t be an idiot. “Idiots are never elegant. The smart ones, on the other hand, are dressed logically, so they are always elegant. The law of elegance is not to add, but to take away” said Giorgio Armani. Having the correct equipment and wearing the right clothing in the mountains can mean saving your own skin.

6. Find love. Do you think you have more chance with someone by saying that you are a ruthless consumerist instead of saying that in your spare time you organize charity Swap Parties?

2. Don't get buried alive by your stuff. Space in the house is limited. If you use the bike three times a season, maybe it's better to rent it, right? 3. Save your money. If we hadn't already figured it out, the pandemic has made clear that saving some money is a wise choice. You never know. And then, before buying, did you ask yourself how

4. Respect Greta Thunberg. Every time you buy a hat that you will never use an environmentalist in the world dies. Choosing products made with sustainable materials facilitates their recycling and prevents them from accumulating in landfills, contributing to CO2 emissions. 5. Don’t be selfish. When acting ignoring the common good, momentary personal enjoyment replaces moral reflection on what is right and what is wrong.

7. Be stylish (which doesn’t mean wearing a new dress). To be cool it is important to be, not to own. “Fashion passes, style remains” said Coco Chanel. This Outdoor Guide has been created by our crew to help you select the best products, the best ones suited to your needs, your passions, but above all the best suitable to yourself. We have put our heart, passion and a lot of work into it, we hope all of this will be helpful in your next adventures.

Our world is stone Shaped by water and wind and time It sweats when it’s hot And sticks when it’s cold It’s the place where we gather And tape our fingers And huddle together to wait out storms Where we’ve learned to try hard And learned to fail And sometimes succeed Learned when to hold on And when to let go

LEGEND

Why do you find symbols near the products? To better classify them within our Outdoor Guide. This is our legend, simple, clear and direct. The outdoor market offers both products that work well in all situations and others specific to more targeted disciplines. Nobody knows better than you what you like to do: focus your passions and look for products with the symbol that belongs to you.

SPEEDHIKING You love hiking but at the same time being fast and looking for maximum performances? These products will allow you to face the mountain and the difference in altitude with a quick pace, without too many frills and less weight on your back.

CLIMBING Is vertical your motto? This category is obviously the one for you. Products born and developed for real climbers that don't want to hear the word horizontal. Shoes in technical material and comfortable and lightweight clothing.

CYCLING

MOUNTAINEERING Is your goal to reach the summit passing through snow, ice and rock? If you want to climb mountains up to 4000 meters high with a more or less fast pace, these are the products for you. Lightweight, reliable, warm and breathable, essential elements for your safety.

APPROACH

URBAN EXPLORING Ideal products for both urban exploration and simple outdoor adventures. They usually combine a cool design with technical features that often prefer ecological fabrics. Must-haves that can accompany you from the office to the mountains.

NATURE LOVERS

Ideal for approaching walls at both low and high altitudes. These are extremely versatile shoes: from a simple day excursion to a paragliding adventure, they work well in every situation, however they are not suitable for covering too many kilometers.

Sustainability and environmental awareness are terms that are often used, many times in an inappropriate way. We looked for products that really care about the environment: made with recycled materials, in an ecological, organic way and that follow high quality standards.

HIKING

ADVENTURE & BACKPACKING

From day trips to the multi-day treks. Products created to cover many kilometers, often under the sun, but which do not disdain rain and bad weather. Lightweight, performing and long lasting. These shoes will never betray you: their key word is reliability.

TRAIL

Is your life an adventure? Do you love traveling both in nature and in the city? With these products you can walk for hours, go from a sunny to a rainy climate without sweating or getting wet. Highly performing and versatile but not suitable for facing too technical and demanding climates and trails.

WOMEN

If you can't help but running in the mountains, facing trails and climbing at high altitude without ever stopping, you need lightweight and space-saving products that offer maximum comfort. The models with this symbol are perfect for your passion.

Until recently, women's products were simply men's models in smaller sizes and in pastel colorways. Now companies have understood that women love and deserve the mountains as much, if not more, than men. Nowadays many brands realize products with fits and performances suitable for the female body.

ROAD

KID

Do you have limited time? Or do you just love running for kilometers on concrete while burning traffic lights before going back to the office? These are the products for you. Often born for the mountains or to meet nature, but who said that the city cannot be equally wild?

8

Is there also a bike in your garage? Maybe a gravel one? Many products created for other activities are equally effective for your bike rides, do not underestimate the commitment that companies have put into developing the perfect product.

It’s time for new generations. Long live parents who bring their children to the mountains and do not park them in front of an IPad. Long live companies that think about them by creating ad hoc products. These little mountaineers deserve as much as we do to not have their butts frozen.

PRODUCT NAME On the top you will find the name of the brand and the one of the product. We shot every single shoe in studio with the same light conditions and in the same position in order to evaluate aesthetics and shape.

6

CATEGORY These logos show the categories where the use of this product is recommended, in the legend you will find the explanation of each individual logo.

GLOBAL IMPRESSION The first part is dedicated to the global impression, here is summarized the testers’ opinions. It starts with the general feeling that the product has given then deepened in the part dedicated to features and performances, concluding with the final impressions.

TERRAIN You will find this data only about shoes that are becoming more and more versatile, for this reason we have tried to give you the most precise and easy-to-read indications on the 4 types of terrains that you will frequently meet: mud, rock, wet and grass. A perfect shoe on wet or mud probably is not the right choice on rock and vice versa.

PERFORMANCE We have established four different numerical judgment parameters. The ratings range from 1 to 10, where 10 is the maximum in performance. We have chosen the 4 most important features that a shoe must have: cushioning, protection, support and traction. There are high-performance and very technical shoes suitable for advanced runners but difficult to use for the less experienced ones, some others which are simpler and usable on all terrains, but obviously do not excel in anything. This chart lets you know if the shoe has the features you are looking for.

FEATURES This paragraph summarizes the various info of the tested models provided by the parent company and then verified by us. If there is a clear difference between the data provided and those detected it is reported. In the features you will find the lining of the shoe, its upper, sole, midsole, footbed and drop.

WE LIKE Each product has its own strength, there is no a perfect product suitable for all conditions. But if something has really amazed us you will find it written here.

DISTANCE Here you will find some data to evaluate whether a trail shoe is suitable for short, medium or long distances.

VOLUME The feet of each one of us differ not only in length but also in width and volume, here you will find the internal volume of every shoe which can be small, medium or large.

FOOT SUPPORT Neutral, over-pronation or supination? Based on your personal running characteristics, here you will find to whom this shoe is indicated to.

THE PILL OUTDOOR GUIDE. 6TH EDITION SS21. Here we are with a cover that says Buy Less, Buy Smart, so what's the point of creating a Guide with 304 pages and 803 products? Shouldn’t the final goal be pushing more to purchase? Shouldn’t be the final goal, as many marketing geniuses say, to make the receipt grow? No. The final goal of The Pill Outdoor Guide is not to fill your closet with products that you will never use anyway, quite the opposite.

When we decided to create a Guide, our main goal was to select the products that the most important brands in Europe showed us during the year, review them, test them and present them to you through a simple and intuitive language, all effectively organized in a Guide, the one you now have in your hands. In this way our goal is to help you (and not direct you) in choosing the best product for you and for the type of activity you are going to practice. In the last year, one thing has changed considerably for all of us: the desire of being in contact with nature, in all its forms. Many thought that the desire to explore could diminish or even disappear, but the restrictions that our lives have had to undergo have brought with them a substantial change in our way of life. We have been deprived of contact with the element that gave us life, of contact with what we are, nature. Not being able to leave the house has taught us what it means to have the opportunity to explore, to live, to swe-

12

at, to get back in touch with nature, the real, raw, strong and sometimes cruel one that does not discount, the one that teaches us the value of the conquest. The style of The Pill Guide remains unchanged, our goal is not to advise you which is the best product on the market, there are too many variables, different shades and details that ultimately make the difference. Our aim is to offer you an overview of all the news that the most important brands are presenting this summer season, selected in collaboration with the most important market players and divided by categories, although not rigid, which include about 800 mountaineering, approach, hiking, trekking, trail, climbing, road running products, in addition to clothing, backpacks, tents, sleeping bags and equipment, with an eye to the whole world safety in the mountains and without neglecting transversal and versatile products that are ideal both for an urban use and for a trip to the mountains with friends. In our Guide you will therefore find a great variety of products,

each of them carefully selected and reviewed. We cannot ignore an aspect that is fundamental for us: sustainability. If you are passionate readers of The Pill you already know very well that both a sustainable way of life and sustainable purchases are some of the cornerstones of our magazine. Sustainability and attention to the impact we have, today, on the environment has often become a topic under the spotlight, for better or for worse, often victim of a dangerous "eco-trend". We have always carefully selected the brands to collaborate with and to talk about and in this Guide we decided to dig more and more into the business dynamics and business models of some of the leaders in the sector to evaluate how real their approach to the environmental problem is. We are satisfied that so many of the brands we work with share our same values (and ​​ our same concerns) about the future of the planet, but we are also sure that this communion of intent is a step forward in the hope of averting a future which now appears more problematic than ever. We believe it and many companies are taking concrete actions in this same direction.

14

SO WHAT WILL YOU FIND IN THE FOLLOWING GUIDE? Insights, interviews, reviews and above all accurate tests. In fact, we asked companies for their most interesting seasonal news, the most innovative products, the most advanced technologies. All this has been tested in the field thanks to the help of selected testers, Mountain Guides, buyers of important stores, coaches, runners hungry for kilometers, athletes and of course by some of the members of our editorial team, because we certainly do not hold back when there’s a game to play, and in some ways, we represent many of you.


R E ACH YOU R PE A K Pick your way through the crux or spend an afternoon with friends scaling a tempting crag. From lightweight gear for sport climbers to rugged bouldering clothing, the Mammut Climbing collection has everything you need to up your game.

THE PILL OUTDOOR TESTS Our Outdoor Guide would like to be a tool for consumers and buyers who can, through our tests, have new and detailed information about new products.

The testers we have carefully selected boast an important and diverse background in various outdoor aspects: former athletes, coaches, guides, influencers, buyers and industry insiders. All of them, in a different way, represent each one of us, which is why we looked for testers who could give us totally different feedbacks. Carry out these tests has not been easy this year. We had the help of many testers, yes, but their judgment, albeit authoritative, is not enough to review a product, especially in respect of those who, in the research&development department of a company, designed

16

and developed that same product. A product that, after all, may not be suitable for the single person who tests it and who may not even fully appreciate its value. So we did more, we sent digital Google Forms to some of the major outdoor stores and to the buyers that distribute the magazine, asking them to fill out a test for each product they knew deeply or had recently tested. Above all expectations, the involvement in this project has been very positive and the responses and feedback arrived in our inbox were truly hundreds. The resulting feedback gave life to the reviews and evaluations that you will read on the following pages.


17


THE PILL TESTS

START 1

EVALUATIONS The products are tested in the field, on trails, on rock walls. But it would be difficult to evaluate a product after using it for a few hours, this is only the final step of the entire test chain. Before getting to test a product, in fact, we spoke with those who conceived that product, we interviewed the buyers who sell and use it, we know the previous versions that preceded it, we are informed by the manufacturers of the improvements made. It is at this point that our copywriters have all the elements to write a test.

2

PRODUCT CHOICES We usually grind out thousands of kilometers a year to attend brands’ sales meetings where next season's news are presented to dealers. Every year there is no shortage of premier events such as ISPO, with which we work closely and where we get an idea of the direction of the market is taking and what is worth turning our attention to for testing. This year, however, we have almost exhausted the gigs available to attend online conferences and presentations but, apart from the lack of human relationship, it was still worth it. Once decided the products we are interested to try, we request the various models to companies, indicating our

18

preferences and confronting with them about the choices made. We always ask them to send us the products in the same conditions in which they will arrive in stores to evaluate all aspects, including packaging and finishes.

TESTING As you know, days in the mountains are short and time goes by fast, The Pill staff prepares the products for the test round and asks the testers to use the product on different terrains, both during a light and demanding run, and on different days so that a negative physical day of one tester won’t affect the result. At the end of the tests, a meeting takes place where the data are checked again and each tester is interviewed by asking the same questions and evaluations for each product, at this point we complete the form by inserting judgments and values.

3

PREPARATION All products get cataloged and a grid is drawn up with the parameters that will compose, together with the general impression, the final report. The products are all checked and the measures declared by the parent company compared with appropriate instruments, if there are no substantial differences we do not report it. We make sure that the product complies with the company declaration. Then the test sequence of the product is discussed for each one of the testers. Every one of them has specific characteristics and particular product knowledge. Adding up all these factors, we decide who is going to test what.

19


THE PILL TESTS

5

DATA PROCESSING Back to the office, we examine the data collected, processing and comparing them with those provided by buyers from all over Europe via email and from the parent company. Our copy, together with the staff who conducted the tests, compiles the text of the review: this is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks because in just more than 3500 characters the opinions and an impressive amount of data must be summarized. Once drafted, each individual review is checked and shared internally.

6

END OF TESTS AND FEEDBACK TO COMPANIES Once the tests are completed, the products get cleaned, sanitized and sent back to the brands, we don't keep any of the products tested as some of you might think (although sometimes we would like to). The final report gets shared, with no possibility of modification. An honest and balanced report, the result of the opinions of expert and reliable testers, is then added to the ones coming from hundreds of shops that daily sell the same products, in order to be a valid product evaluation tool for companies and for the final consumer.

OFF TO THE PRINTERS A WeTransfer file and we’re good to go, a few days later you will have your The Pill Outdoor Guide in your hands. You will finding it in your favorite shop or receiving it directly at home (by ordering it online on www.thepillmagazine.com/shop). The guide will remain throughout the season on the counters of more than 1100 outdoor store and who knows how many will be in your homes. Always ready to be read to advise you in your purchases.

7

SHOOTING & LAYOUTS An important part for The Pill editorial staff is aesthetics, in fact we would like our Outdoor Guide to be also a beautiful object to collect and, perhaps, inspire young designers. That's why we often throw ourselves into "crazy" covers as someone in the outdoor market says, but it's our style and our strength (we're not really crazy though). A fundamental part of the guide is obviously the tested products, they must be given the right emphasis, so each of them is carefully shot in our studio, as the companies have sent us, without frills and without any photoshopping. You may then wonder what is the difference between the test we have talked about so far and a review: the review is an evaluation of the product born from the comparison between our experience, the one of the buyers and the company itself. Once we have all the content ready, we finally start to layout.

NATURE FIRST Let’s get back to sustainability. Those of you who already know us, know how much we love nature and our planet. We were among the first in 2013 to have columns about sustainability in our magazine. This leads us to make an informed choice about the paper we print on. The Pill paper is recycled from unsold magazines and books in newsstands and bookstores that have been subsequently macerated. Our 30.000 copies distributed in outdoor stores, in selected newsstands and sold online, are fully distributed and no copies are macerated. You will find unsold items online in "The Pill Collection" packs or distributed during outdoor events. Nothing gets thrown away!

10

GOODBYE, IT'S BEEN A BLAST We are sure that each one of you thinks that when the tests are finished we keep all the products in our editorial office but that’s not possible. Returning them is the most painful part, after having lived every single item, how can not becoming jealous of them? But we have to say goodbye to them until next year, when we will probably meet their updated sisters or brothers.

22


THE PILL TESTS

OUR PROVEN METHOD FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS. Our proven method for more than 10 years requires a lot of precision, countless kilometers by car, presence at all the presentations of the collections, and, apart from this difficult year due to the Covid situation, the presence at all trade fairs. We got away with hours and hours of online calls, which add up to days, where each company presented their new collection to us. Summing up all these experiences, we have developed an effective method for carrying out the various tests. It may seem a simple task after all, but a good job requires experience, in-depth knowledge of the product, organization and a team of qualified and motivated people to repeatedly test the pro-

ducts with a careful eye, ready not to spare themselves on critical issues and merits. But above all we believe that humility is very important in this type of work, because as much as we can try to be objective and professional, we are also subjectively influenced by the various brands, and a not very lucid analysis would not be respectful towards research&development departments that constantly seek solutions and improvements in their products. Our work must also always be questioned, there is the possibility that a product has not been understood by our testers.

THE PILL INSIGHT

TRAIL RUNNING This year the section of our Guide dedicated to trail running is particularly rich. In fact, 2020 saw a real explosion of this discipline which until a few years ago was restricted to a super-trained audience of athletes, sportsmen and enthusiasts. The experience of the pandemic has certainly increased exponentially the desire to run in the mountains, on trails and in the woods, reaching people of all ages and backgrounds. A sort of escape from the restrictions that have been imposed on us and that has prompted many people to abandon the classic jog in the city, between chaos and smog, in favor of activities more in contact with nature. Surely another important factor that has led to the growth of the trail movement comes from the fact that more and more people have started using these models also for daily hiking, abandoning specific trekking shoes that can sometimes be heavier, warmer or too structured for simple day hikes. Trail shoes are often more transversal and versatile models for these specific uses where a lightweight, waterproof and cushioned shoe is preferable. The outdoor market obviously did not ignore this request and so we have witnessed an expansion of the trail collection of numerous leading brands in the sector. We decided to interview some companies to get their opinion on the growing phenomenon of trail running.

TRAIL RUNNING ALBERTO GAGNO

THE NORTH FACE Alberto Gagno, Senior Product Manager Footwear The North Face EMEA

In recent years the number of trail running enthusiasts has grown considerably, how do you explain this phenomenon? I believe there are various reasons behind this phenomenon: first of all the desire of people to immerse themselves in nature and go and explore places a part from those in which they live in their everyday life. Running in the middle of nature or in the mountains also offers the opportunity to test yourself on different types of terrain and therefore to learn to know yourself better, to know your body, the strengths and weaknesses of your running. It should also be emphasized that trail running is not a sport that trains only the body but also the mind, allowing you to improve your ability to concentrate and the resistance to fatigue or unexpected events. All this can be very useful in dealing with everyday life and challenges. How much importance and how much investment do you put in the research and development field? What are your latest news in this field and what are your future projects? Research is a fundamental element for us because ours are products that aims to address athletes who climb the most inaccessible mountains and who often find themselves in truly extreme and unexpected situations. Before being able to give them a finished product, it is essential that it is perfectly designed. Speaking of our most recent innovation in the footwear field, for example, the VECTIV technology, it took two years of significant

36

investments in R&D and more than 9,000km dedicated by athletes to field tests to arrive at the product that we launched on the market for this SS . Which is your most successful trail model? If we talk about trail running we can only talk about VECTIV: as mentioned, this is our most important news in this area. VECTIV is a sole structure composed of a 3D VECTIV plate in direct contact with the sole,

a VECTIV rocker midsole and a SurfaceCTRL sole. It is a technology designed to reduce impact and maximize energy return, able to adapt perfectly to the specific needs of running and hiking on technical and mountainous terrain. We have seen in carbon fiber soles, traditionally reserved for road running, an extraordinary opportunity and incredible potential, and that’s why we wanted to bring them into the world of trail running.

philosophy of the brand through their extraordinary achievements and their passion for the outdoors. In selecting these members of the great The North Face family, it is therefore essential that they fully share our vision of the outdoor world and the role that exploration plays in it. Athletes and ambassadors are also an extraordinary source of inspiration for us and by involving them in our product development processes, we can draw on their experience in the field and their feedback. More and more consumers prefer to use trail shoes when hiking. How far is it advisable? These two activities, although they have some aspects in common, require a different approach and type of shoe, considering that the foot is stressed differently. For this reason it would be preferable to opt for a shoe model designed and dedicated specifically to the discipline you want to practice, be it trail running or hiking. Undoubtedly, both of these sports require a shoe capable of adequately protecting the foot and ankle, ensuring maximum grip. It is precisely by keeping in mind both the commonalities and the differences between these two sports that we wanted to make the VECTIV technology available both for trail running (in 3 different models) and for hiking (for which we offer 5 different shoes).

Sustainability. Is the consumer really attentive if a brand tries to produce a more sustainable and environmentally less impactful product? Many data suggests that consumers are willing to spend more on environmentally sustainable and socially responsible products. However, I don't think we should take it for granted. Brands must commit to increasing consumers' perception of the value of their products. The same goes for sustaina-

bility. Rather than assuming that consumers will buy a sustainable product, brands need to shed light on the issue of sustainability for the consumer. Athletes and ambassadors. How do you work regarding these two aspects? What kind of profile does it represent you? Athletes and ambassadors represent a very strong bond with our reference community, they communicate our values, the

Short, medium, long distance. Is this still the first rule when choosing a trail running shoe? This is certainly a very important parameter in the choice of trail running shoe but certainly not the only one to take into consideration. For example, it is necessary to take into account the type of terrain and trail that you will face, the goals you want to achieve, your running style, the intensity, the duration but also your physical characteristics, the level of experience and the feelings you get while running: do you feel like you don't have enough grip? Does the ankle seem not protected enough? At the end of the run is the tibial impact very high? There are really many aspects to consider in order to find the ideal shoe.

TRAIL RUNNING MARCO ALIPRANDI

TECNICA Marco Aliprandi, Marketing Manager Tecnica Italy

In recent years the number of trail running enthusiasts has grown considerably, how do you explain this phenomenon? Tecnica is a brand strongly rooted in the mountains in summer and in skiing, both on and off piste. From our point of view we have seen many skiers who have started spending more time in the mountains even in summer, and who have found in trail running a way to express their active lifestyle. Among them, many runners who have combined road running in the city with mountain trails. In addition, even in hiking and trekking, two product categories in which Tecnica is a leader, many users have adopted a faster and more dynamic style, which is reflected in the demand for lighter, cushioned products with a precise and personalized fit. Among them, many have discovered trail running. How much importance and how much investment do you put in the research and development field? What are your latest news in this field and what are your future projects? Tecnica has the advantage of being a mountain brand for four seasons: trail running, hiking, trekking and skiing. The transversal research and development between these different product categories has led to better walkability solutions for winter ski products, but above all it has allowed to develop the concept of pushed ergonomics and

38

customization even in summer. The CAS Custom Adaptive Shape system, born as a boot fitting process through vacuum thermoforming of ski boots, has been extended to trekking and hiking shoes first, and finally to trail running shoes. For the latter category, it is evident that this allows to reduce the adaptation time and to ensure a precise and personalized fit, with an intervention of only 15 minutes in the store. But there is also an interesting reflection for our retailers: personalization is a service that only the shopkeeper can offer to their customer, giving a strong motivation to the consumer to enter the store to have an exclusive and personal service, starting or reinforcing a loyalty process.

Which is your most successful trail model? The Tecnica trail running collection includes a few highly specialized models. The Origin XT and LT are available by gender and athlete's weight for short and medium distances, while the LD is the new solution for long distances. For now, the sell-in and sell-out data confirm that the success of the XT and LT has translated into strong interest in the new LD. Sustainability.

ots. The reaction was very positive, confirming the consumer's interest in the issue of sustainability. From our side, we discovered how important it is not only the use of sustainable materials or technologies, but a holistic view of the entire process, from design to disposal. Athletes and ambassadors. How do you work regarding these two aspects? What kind of profile does it represent you? Tecnica has recently made his comeback to the trail running category, with technologies successfully developed for trekking and hiking. For now we don't have a consistent team of athletes and ambassadors that will be built in the next few years. In the sports marketing sector, we started with the

sponsorship of two events: we are title sponsor of Trail degli Eroi and we are main sponsor of Vibram Mottarone Trail. More and more consumers prefer to use trail shoes when hiking. How far is it advisable? In the last decade, trail running has definitively cleared the use of low, light and shock-absorbing shoes in the mountains. Viceversa, trail running shoes have become more and more technical, just look at the development of the soles, and have let themselves be contaminated by the world of trekking and hiking, as in the case of Tecnica with the CAS system. Trail running shoes are great for a hike on marked trails. But for a trekking or hiking activity, on technical, rocky terrain, perhaps with a

backpack and for several days, the first choice we recommend is that of a specific shoe, more protective and optimized for the roll of the walk, not for the run. Short, medium, long distance. Is this still the first rule when choosing a trail running shoe? In general this is still true, and the distance is also a distinction for our collection. But customization is increasingly important, through a gender design, appropriate to the weight of the athlete, and with specific customization solutions. In addition, there are important personal variables to keep in mind, such as the choice of a cushioning system that must be adequate for both weight, athletic skills and the type of trail.

TRAIL RUNNING LUCA MICH

LA SPORTIVA Luca Mich, Marketing & Communications Manager In recent years the number of trail running enthusiasts has grown considerably, how do you explain this phenomenon? The trend has been growing for at least 5 years and the factors are linked both to the change in the demographic characteristics of the new runners, both to the time we live in, and to the inspirational aspects of this sport. In general we can say that there has been an important transfer from road running to off-road running, either for the need to be more in contact with nature and find an escape from daily stress, or for the personal challenges that disciplines such as ultra running, for example, carry with them. In addition, we are witnessing the entry of a younger demographic target than in the past, pushed towards off-road running by a concept of outdoor wellbeing and the search for open spaces. It is also undeniable that, also thanks to the choices of the most iconic brands on the market, there is starting to be a coolness effect that is increasingly attracting the attention of influencers and ordinary consumers. Right now it is definitely a trendy sport, proof of this is the spaces that trail running sneakers are starting to have on the shelves of stores that are not strictly trail/outdoor oriented and in magazines such as Sneaker Freaker, Higsnobiety, Sneaker Mag. How much importance and how much investment do you put in the research and development field? What are your latest news in this field and what are your future projects? La Sportiva bases its business on a strong research and development activity, it is the heart of the company as the pay-off "innovation with passion" says and the many innovations launched in recent years that in fact divide the world of trail running in

40

short/mid/long distances subcategories are proof of this. For every type of race, La Sportiva has the product designed for the needs of the most "demanding" users. Development always takes place in close cooperation with professional athletes. The future foresees the increasing integration of another development pillar together with the technical one, namely sustainability: midsoles, insoles, laces and upper components point straight towards increasingly eco-compatible solutions to maintain performance at very high levels but reducing the environmental impact. Which is your most successful trail model? A classic: Ultra Raptor, now in its third version if we count the 2009 model simply called Raptor. It is the most versatile product of the collection and in fact, we are aware of it, it is used only by a part of the runners to truly run off-road, most of the mountain lovers in fact use it for hiking/trekking purposes given its comfort, the rolling and the help it offers both when braking downhill and uphill. The pure trail running model that we sell the most is Bushido II, very appreciated both by those who have run off road for years and by those who are now approaching the discipline coming from the road world. Sustainability. Is the consumer really attentive if a brand tries to produce a more sustainable and environmentally less impactful product? It really depends on the markets. Northern Europe, especially Germany, is certainly more careful than the Latin countries for example. In the US, the trend is very strong and some stores such as REI explicitly require eco content to enter their shelves, a sign that a real demand exists. However, we are still talking about technical products

and at the same time changes in the consumer's purchasing behavior is quite slow and gradual, so it is certainly not the major buying driver today, at least in the trail running sector. Athletes and ambassadors. How do you work regarding these two aspects? What kind of profile does it represent you? We have both: we have pro athletes that are part of the racing team able to give credibility and visibility to the product, and ambassadors in the most comprehensive sense of the term. Strong human stories of people who fully embrace corporate values to combine their paths with those of the company, also supporting it in product development. Credibility, performance and values are part of the La Sportiva athlete/ambassador. It could not be otherwise. More and more consumers prefer to use trail shoes when hiking. How far is it advisable? I don't think there is a precise rule, it depends on posture, walking, preference for cushioned shoes, etc. In general, it is certainly advisable to know the type of trail that you will face, tits terrain and conditions. Generally, a protective, gripping and shock-absorbing product is more suitable than other shoes with a reduced drop and with a too tapered fit. Short, medium, long distance. Is this still the first rule when choosing a trail running shoe? It depends on whether we are talking about expert consumers or newbies. It is undeniable that for many people it is now also a question of look&feel. What matters is that the research and development of products at the base leads to the proposal of truly performing footwear designed for a specific use.

TRAIL RUNNING ELENA BOSTICARDO

ASICS Elena Bosticardo, Asics Marketing Manager Italy

In recent years the number of trail running enthusiasts has grown considerably, how do you explain this phenomenon? Undoubtedly, especially in the last time, trail running, thanks to the large spaces it makes available, has won over a growing number of enthusiasts. This is a significant fact, which expresses the interest of runners in wanting to find a form of balance between mind and body in sport, a philosophy that Asics has always promoted and told. Physiologically the trail could steal a part of fans from the road, but it is also true that, especially in this last period, where team sports and indoor sports have suffered great limitations, there has been a great shift of fans of other sports towards running. How much importance and how much investment do you put in the research and development field? What are your latest news in this field and what are your future projects? Asics has always been synonymous with continuous technological research. At our research center in Kobe, Japan, a variety of technological innovations are experimented and brought to light each year. Asics has always been known for its GEL technology that ensures a reduction in stress and better shock absorption. A very successful innovation in recent years is

42

certainly our Asics Grip. Technologies such as Asics Duomax or Rock Protection Plate, which is specific for trail footwear, guarantee great support and protection. The trail shoes then feature a meticulous design of the lugs combined with continuous innovation as regards the compounds. Which is your most successful trail model? Our range of trail products this season has been expanded with the introduction of new models (one above all is the Trabuco Max) which immediately received positive feedback from shopkeepers, industry experts and enthusiasts. Our most successful product, however, remains the Gel-Fujitrabuco, now in its eighth edition which is one of the most popular shoes on the market in terms of stability.

Sustainability. Is the consumer really attentive if a brand tries to produce a more sustainable and environmentally less impactful product? The data we have tells us that more and more consumers are attentive about sustainability. Knowing that a brand tries to produce a product that has an ever lower impact on the planet is an important driver that pushes people towards one brand rather than another. Buying consciously today means bringing benefits to future generations. Asics is very sensitive to this topic and for the second year in a row has obtained the Supplier Engagement Leaderboard award from the CDP (acronym for Carbon Disclosure Project, an international non-profit organization that encourages companies and governments to reduce their gas

emissions greenhouse) for its activities and strategies aimed at reducing emissions and managing climate risks on its product chain. Athletes and ambassadors. How do you work regarding these two aspects? What kind of profile does it represent you? Our medium-term goal is to build an Asics Trail Elite Factory, with the formation of a talented trail team, coordinated by our French headquarters, who will be trained and followed in various international events. Italy is an integral part of the project, and our athletes will participate in their local competitions with the support of an international team. We want to position ourselves as a trail running leader, and to achieve this we have to look for athlete profiles who will

compete in long distance and ultra races. It will be a group of athletes that, in addition to enjoy outdoor sports, share the values of loyalty and respect for the "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano" claim that makes us particularly proud and responsible. More and more consumers prefer to use trail shoes when hiking. How far is it advisable? It is a very subjective aspect. Many people use boots even for easier and shorter hikes because they feel safer to have the ankle protected. A solid and protective trail shoe such as, for example, the Gel-Fujitrabuco 8, however, can accompany the hiker even on the toughest, most technical and longest trails. However, it must be specified that trail shoes are born for running. Downhill you can therefo-

re enjoy much better grip and traction, and also in terms of comfort, flexibility and softness a trail shoe may be preferable. Obviously, it is not always advisable to use trail shoes, in "more extreme" situations, such as in the snow, you need to evaluate boots or the use of crampons. Short, medium, long distance. Is this still the first rule when choosing a trail running shoe? In general this division is correct. We switch from lighter and less protective shoes to shorter distances and gradually increase the "richness" of the shoe in reaction to the increase in mileage and the user's weight. Consequently, it is advisable to use higher and more substantial midsoles as the mileage, and consequently the wearer's fatigue, increase.

THE PILL CREW BY ELIS MARTIS

PEAKSHUNTER MOUNTAIN GUIDES Great lovers of nature and mountains, Peakshunter guys like to discover the essence of places and open spaces and explore territories where the elements are a fundamental part of the experience. 9 Mountain Guides and 3 aspiring Guides, in addition to a sales manager and 2 photographers and videomakers, in their work they are able to evaluate every situation and take the best decisions to ensure the safety and tranquility of the people who rely on them. What makes them unite as professionals and colleagues is a great empathy, as well as a great synergy consolidated over years of collaboration. When was your group of Mountain Guides born? Peakshunter Mountain Guides was initially born as a personal blog where to post photos of my trips to the mountains. In 2015 the brand transformed into a more ambitious project full of new stimuli. Thanks to the support of friends and colleagues, the project soon consolidated into a team of close-knit Guides, specialized in mountaineering activities and outdoor adventures ranging from the Aosta Valley to Sicily and from the Lofoten Islands to Nepal.

Tell us where the name comes from and why you chose it. Peakshunter was born as a game when I was still an aspiring Guide: the desire to experience strong emotions at high altitude on the peaks of the most famous mountains of the Alps certainly conditioned the choice of the name of the brand. Over time, the project has developed towards a philosophy of approach to the mountains and the outdoor world that is more focused on the experience of travel, rather than on the summit seen as a destination to be reached. The outdoors is growing in interest: how do you explain this phenomenon? In recent years, many outdoor activities, until recently restricted to a super-trained audience of athletes, sportsmen and enthusiasts, have reached an increasing number of people of all ages. The experience of the pandemic has accelerated exponentially the desire to experience the outdoor dimension in its most solitary and extreme expressions, bringing many people closer to discovering these activities and causing a real explosion of their success. Why is it important to rely on a Mountain Guide to experience mountain adventures? Most of these activities take place in the mountains often at an altitude above 1500m, in very particular contexts for accessibility and environmental conditions. Mountain Guides are professionals and personal consultants trained to manage the risks that these activities, limiting them as much as possible and ensuring a 360° experience. The reasons for contacting a Mountain Guide may be related to the need to feel safer in those places, more prepared in choosing the correct equipment or simply to the desire to be able to move outsi-

de the comfort zone without the fear of running into in unforeseen or difficult situations. What is the most unforgettable experience you can recommend in the Aosta Valley? The 4000 of Monte Rosa, otherwise known as "Spaghetti Tour": a spectacular crossing that touches the eight peaks of Monte Rosa all over 4000 meters. It can be done in spring with skis and skins or in a more demanding version in the summer season, with mountaineering equipment, progression on the glacier and in rope teams of 3 people for each Mountain Guide. Future projects? We like to experiment so we are always ready to leave for new destinations to explore places and learn about new horizons. Covid did not stop us and this year we moved between Piedmont and Liguria and then landed at Gran Sasso. In the future, we would like to be able to consolidate the team as a reference structure for the promotion of proposals and projects with social and environmental impact. We are preparing initiatives dedicated to promoting activities in collaboration with Local Associations and Municipalities of the Aosta Valley for the cleaning of the environment, the care of natural spaces and attention to the reduction of negative impacts on mountain environments. In the meantime, we are also working on new programs to bring children and their families closer to the mountains, offering training internships with fellow Nature and Hiking Guides and inserting modules dedicated to outdoor photography and yoga as supplementary activities to hiking and climbing.

SUSTAINABILITY Is it really possible for a brand to be sustainable? If you are loyal readers of The Pill Magazine, you know very well that since years an aspect of outdoor life has been fundamental for us: sustainability. Climate change has now become a global issue for all to see. Nowadays we also know that actions of governments and institutions cannot be enough. The private sector can also play a fundamental role in the fight against climate change, concentrating emissions reduction activities in low-cost options and in the conscious choice of financing in line with their corporate missions. In recent years, many brands have taken action in this regard by adopting important measures in trying to limit their environmental impact both in terms of production and in terms of materials chosen, environmental footprint of the finished product, transport and distribution, duration of products, lifetime repair guarantee, second-hand products. Marketing or actual interest? How real is this "green trend" that we see more and more often under the spotlight? Certainly real sustainability brings environmental and social choices to the same level of importance as economic ones. We have discussed it with some players in the sector to find out what they think, how they have taken action and what strategies they have put in place to pave the way for climate neutrality and how much more can be done to accelerate the transition to a Net Zero society both by companies and by ourselves as consumers.

SUSTAINABILITY FLORIAN PALLUEL

PICTURE ORGANIC CLOTHING Florian Palluel, Picture Sustainability Manager What does the word sustainability mean to you? Sustainability means first understanding the current environmental crisis and then acting accordingly. Most of the time, businesses think they could stay the same and just be "more sustainable" by changing one thing or two. It can't work this way. True sustainability brings environmental and social externalities at the same level of importance that economic concerns. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? We have been trying to be a committed brand since day 1. At the very beginning in 2009, we were already using recycled polyester from plastic bottles to make our snow jackets. In 2019, the challenging B Corp certification came to highlight the work done so far and what remains to do. We try now to follow scientific recommendations and IPCC conclusions on solutions to fight climate change: energy transition, sobriety, contribution to carbon neutrality. These pillars help us a lot to re-orient our commitment as a textile brand. How many products in your collection are organic and/or made in recycled material? 100% of our products are made of a 50% minimum organic, recycled or bio-sourced materials. Many brands are now going toward the direction of sustainability and lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? Both. Sometimes it's fully opportunist, sometimes it's authentic. I think that for most of the brands, there is this "eco-trend" to follow not to lose the competition battle.

48

The problem is that there is no clear definition of what this "eco-trend" should change in the brands habits and business model. At the end, I think this leads to this very big trap of "green growth" who let us think that we could all keep the same pace as today. Pace of businesses, pace of economic growth, pace of resources extraction, and just putting some "green" little changes here in there. Let's be clear: in 2021, changing your collection from conventional to organic materials is what I call a "green little change". If you don't question the need behind your product, the volume of production, the carbon intensity of your finished product, the durability, etc, it will surely not be enough. Future plans to further reduce your environmental impact? Reducing our impact is very much connected to how

the company will grow economically. Decoupling of greenhouse gases emissions from GDP (economic growth) and doing it at the pace required by the Paris Agreement is something very documented in the scientific literature and bad luck: it does not exist. There is such a strong correlation between growth and emissions because in both case, energies (fossil fuels, mainly) are required. Well, that being said, we have many projects for more sobriety (rental, lifetime repair warranty, second-hand, etc) and for low-carbon supply chains. But, as a small brand, we can't do it alone. We need to collaborate a lot with big brands. Also, we are still in this "young brand" phase, with a lot of potential and people are asking for the brand to be more available. I mean that our efforts might be "cancelled" by more production. It's a rebound effect. So at the


SUSTAINABILITY FLORIAN PALLUEL

end, I don't think that we can talk about reducing our impact, carbon wise. It's rather about having more influence to lead change at a wider scale. Are you part of 1% for the Planet? What do you think about that? We are not part of it, but I think it's a great movement with a lot of relevant projects that benefit from companies fundings. What outdoor brands could do to have less impact on the planet? CEO and CSR managers should follow a solid energy-climate training to understand the climate crisis, causes, consequences and solutions. Then, they should do their carbon footprint. In the end, act accordingly, where most of your emissions are located. In the textile industry, there are big rooms for improvements. What could consumers do to impact

less? Consumers are pushing for more transparency and sustainability, and it's great. But honestly, it should not be their role to transform brands. There is a study called "Doing Our Fair Share For The Climate" conducted by Carbone 4 which says: 70% of the fight against climate change in the hands of states and companies. We don't need individual climate champions, we need them to do the right choice, and this choice has to be influenced by politics and companies. Of course, consumers have to keep pushing and pushing, but it will take much much more time than if states and companies take real actions. And we don't have time. In your opinion, is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore

less polluting? I don't think so. But the challenge is rather about education. As a company, we have to make them understand that very low prices hide bad environmental and social externalities and that it's better to pay more for a cleaner and more durable product that you'll keep longer. At the end it will cost you less because you kept it for a longer time. Of course, for a majority of consumers, there is still this idea of fashion and style that makes you want to change again and again. I don't have a proper solution for that. What happens to your products from past collections that remain unsold in stores? Generally we have a very few stock left. Most of the time, we produce less than the real need. In 12 years we did 2 or 3 private sales with online players but it's really rare.

SUSTAINABILITY LUCA SALINI

CRAZY Luca Salini, Crazy CEO What does the word sustainability mean to you? For us it means adapting company standards while respecting the environment and human relations. We also believe that the production processes and the raw materials used must also be sustainable. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? We use certified materials as much as possible, we try to minimize the transport service and use eco-sustainable and recyclable packaging. How many products in your collection are organic and/or made of recycled material? In the world of technical performance, the materials are mainly derived from oil, but it is possible to use recycled materials. Let’s remember that "natural" materials such as cotton still often have a heavily negative impact on the environment, so you have to calculate how much the production of raw materials negatively affects the environment and carry out very in-depth studies.

50

Many brands are now going toward the direction of sustainability and lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? There are brands that paid attention to sustainability since years, they do it well and it’s their core business. Others have recently approached and from our point of view they do so more believing they are exploiting this sensitivity of customers for marketing. Future plans to further reduce your environmental impact? After eliminating plastic from our packaging, we are taking steps to significantly reduce the kilometers our goods travel. In addition, we are always looking for bluesign certified materials. Are you part of 1% for the Planet? What do you think about that? We are not part of it and we believe it is very marketing oriented, but it should be investigated. What outdoor brands could do to have less impact on the planet? Outdoor brands are linked on the one hand to technological research, and therefore to the impact of fabric production, on the other hand to the production cycles. Producing in factories that take into account the relationship with employees and that guaran-

tee correct conditions would already be a lot. Too many brands behind a green-oriented facade, then produce in fetid basements in Bangladesh or in far east states where there is no control. What could consumers do to impact less? Buy products that last longer, that are less subject to current fashions, perhaps by investing a few more euros. In your opinion, is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore less polluting? The correct answer is: it depends. In the high segment, yes, customers who buy Crazy for example are willing to spend more because they are aware that the quality and resistance of the products is higher, other customers turn to low-cost brands even knowing that they will last less. However, we do not think that eco-sustainability is decision-making in purchases. What happens to your products from past collections that remain unsold in stores? We produce based on the 95% of sales, therefore we have no stock of goods. Stocks in our stores are usually sold with some small discounts.

SUSTAINABILITY ANGELA VÖGELE

DEUTER Angela Vögele, Public Relation Manager, Deuter Sport GmbH

What does the word sustainability mean to you? People, nature, economy, it only works together. This elementary idea of sustainability ​​ is the basis of our philosophy as a company. The focus for us is to conserve human and natural resources and to preserve what we love through responsible daily action, so that future generations can also live in an intact environment. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? In everything we do, we pay attention to resource-saving and environmentally friendly production as well as fair working conditions and the longest possible life cycles of our products. And because we can achieve more together, we work closely with our long-term partners in production and development and take the highest standards into account. For example, we have joined the Fair Wear Foundation, bluesign, are a member of the Textilbündnis and are actively involved in social projects such as 1% for the planet, Climate Partner, EOCA,​​ Nepalhilfe or Blackpackers. How many products in your collection are organic and/or made of recycled material? We have been increasing the proportion of recycled materials for years, have been completely PFC-free since 2020 and are constantly increasing the proportion of bluesigncertified products. Our goal is to manufacture 50% of all products from recycled main materials and 70% of the main materials from bluesign certified fabrics by 2025. Many brands are now going toward the direction of sustainability and lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? I can only spe-

ak for us here. Sustainability is very important to us. We see this as our responsibility to society. We don't want to sell a few alibi measures as a green conscience. Our way of sustainable management is holistic and integrated: from product development, design and material selection, through production and transport, to use in outdoor activities or in everyday life. And we go even further by repairing used products in our repair service, giving products a second life with second life and converting residues from old collections, e.g. as part of our Infiniti series, into really good products. Future plans to further reduce your environmental impact? We are always working on improvements along the entire production chain. From new, more environmentally friendly coatings, the increasing use of recycled materials, to the continuous improvement of working conditions and extending product life cycles. We are also currently in the due diligence process for the Green Button, an international eco-textile label initiated by the German federal government, which ensures that products are manufactured in

compliance with state-defined criteria according to high environmental and social standards. What could consumers do to impact less? In our industry in particular, it is important that customers consciously rethink their consumption and then opt for a high-quality, sustainable and, above all, long-lasting product. That they maintain and repair this and thus extend the product life cycle as much as possible. In your opinion, is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore less polluting? I think the consumers` mindset changed over the years. While sustainability used to be a “nice to have", it is now almost a requested standard. Nowadays people are much more enlightened, conscious consumption is on the advance and the target group with an affinity for the outdoors in particular demands sustainable solutions. Many sustainable material and production alternatives now offer the same quality of the end product with less pollution. I hope that we can go much further along this path together.

What does the word sustainability mean to you? As an outdoor company, we are acutely aware that everything we do has an impact on the world around us and the people and animals that inhabit it. To us, sustainability is not a concept it is integrated into everything we do. We are guided by a compass with the cardinal directions changed to Nature, Environment, Society and Wellbeing, which are all key areas to pay attention to when developing towards an ever more sustainable business. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? We do our utmost to keep our environmental footprint as small as possible. We consider the environmental impact when we design, choose one material over another, and when deciding where to produce our clothing and equipment. We always look at different parameters that can determine if a choice Is more sustainable. We work a lot with recycled content, with organic content and with better production methods that can show data on savings on water, energy and chemicals. When we look at products, we also consider long lifespan as a key factor ensuring a product is more sustainable, possible to repair etc. In our own operations we work on reducing our negative impact, particularly on resource use and CO2 emissions. But we also do work with the societal aspects of sustainability in our supply chain as well as internally. How many products in your collection are organic and/or made in recycled material? We do not count

54

this by style, but for the coming spring summer 2022 season for example all new styles have some type of preferred material, meaning either recycled, organic or traceable. We have the majority of all our synthetic materials in recycled already and are aiming for at least 90% preferred materials in all our styles. Many brands are now going toward the direction of sustainability and lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? I think it is a necessary and important step driven by both consumer demand and longterm business development where more and more brands see sustainability as an important cornerstone in ensuring their business can thrive in the long run. I certainly do not hope it is a trend, I believe it is a focus that is here to stay and should be considered a hygiene factor. There is of course a fine line when communicating sustainability to ensure it is not only marketing driven, but I do believe that the efforts we see in the industry today are real and driven by the wish to minimize negative impact. Future plans to further reduce your environmental impact? A lot of what we are focusing on now is related to our climate impact, and therefore gives us a focus on reducing environmental impacts from the production and manufacturing of materials and products. That means that we are engaging with our suppliers to encourage and support them in making their processes as efficient as possible and we are also exploring better production methods. In addition, we are focusing a lot on the product longevity aspect of sustainability. Everything we do has an impact, and the most important thing we can do is that we create durable, timeless, and functional equipment that can hopefully be used for generations out in nature. Are you part of 1% for the Planet? What do you think about that? We

are not part of the 1% for the planet, but we do have our own Arctic Fox Initiative, which is our own way of giving back and shedding some light on all the good work done by the many small organizations out there. I think any effort to do things together are good. We can do a lot but together we can do even more! What could outdoor brands do in order to have less impact on the planet? Create long-lasting products with conscious material choices and efficient production methods. Ensure that whatever we put on the market is created to last a lifetime and can be cared for or repaired along the way. Instead, what could the consumer do to impact less? Make conscious decisions when investing in new products, ensure that they care for the products they have, repair when possible and put demands on brands they buy from to push further improvements. In your opinion, is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore less polluting? I think the consumer wants to make good choices but it is on us to ensure that we effectively communicate the importance of high-quality long-lasting products and better material choices. What happens to your products from old collections that remain unsold in stores? We work on very timeless products that last for many seasons and years. This means that we do not regard anything as an “old collection”. 80% of our styles are running items that has been with us for decades, some stem from the 70s and 80s, many of our top selling products have been with us for the past 10 years. So, if it is not sold one season, it is just as valid as a product for the next.

SUSTAINABILITY LUCA COLOMBO

REDELK Luca Colombo, Redelk CEO

What does the word sustainability mean to you? For us, sustainability is above all respecting nature and what surrounds us. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? Our commitment is constant and even with small steps within our reach we want to go in this direction. For our products we prefer padding with organic fibers such as Sorona Sustans and water-repellent finishes with organic certifications such as Bionic Finish Eco. It is a continuous process of change that, with a careful eye on materials, will lead us to an even more sustainable offer. As for the packaging, Redelk garments are delivered to our customers in a bag of 100% recycled and recyclable material. Even in the workplace we pay attention to the small details, from the consumption of paper for printing, to the choice of consumables that, when possible, are recyclable or compostable. Our team has always enjoyed going to work by bicycle or on foot, which, in addition to the possibility of smart working, also helps us to contribute to the reduction of pollution. How many products in your collection are organic and/or made of recycled material? We do not yet have 100% organic or recycled products but the choices on organic wadding and finishing are a first step to develop more sustainable products. Many brands are now going toward the direction of sustainability and lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? It cannot be just marketing, our outdoor world lives to be in contact with nature, the sensitivity and respect for the environment de-

rives from what our passion has taught us. However, everything collides with the usual processes for fueling consumption, taken to extremes by large-scale distribution. Whatever the reason, it is important to take the first step to raise awareness at all levels of the supply chain.

couraging the reuse of garments, or in any case give life to new products through the reuse of recycled material. We encourage the use of the garment until it is exhausted, or as long as the technical characteristics allow it. Also for this reason our goal is to create products that last over time.

Future plans to further reduce your environmental impact? We would like to improve even more in the small habits of every day of the work environment, we also believe that small gestures are important. For the new collections we are always attentive to the new proposals of recycled materials to try to implement this change, step by step. For packaging, we plan to eliminate 100% plastic by preferring paper for the packaging of our products.

What could consumers do to impact less? Buying intelligently, which means buying clothes that are resistant and durable, trusting quality brands and not saving on technical garments.

Are you part of 1% for the Planet? What do you think about that? We are currently not part of this beautiful project. We are a young and small brand, but step by step we are growing and we want to keep a watchful eye on sustainability, especially because we are aware that our outdoor world is a source of a lot of environmental pollution and this makes us even more responsible and proactive. We are members of EOCA, we would like to become part of 1% fo the Planet as our next step! What outdoor brands could do to have less impact on the planet? En-

In your opinion, is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore less polluting? We are moving towards an awareness of technical material but above all of reuse and recycling. The trend is there for all to see, it won't take many years to normalize the choice of a garment. What happens to your products from past collections that remain unsold in stores? In the outdoor world it is above all important the technical content of the product, this awareness and careful analysis of the warehouse allows nothing to be wasted. In the fashion world, which is more slave to trends, there is certainly more propensity to replace unsold items with the real problem of "out of fashion" products to manage.

SAVE THE DUCK Silvia Mazzanti, Sustainability Manager

What does the word sustainability mean to you? Sustainability, understood as the ethics of business processes, is an integrated part in Save The Duck's DNA, since its creation. For us, sustainability means bringing positive impulses to improvement into every activity of the company. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? We have set ourselves a path of growth, with scaled goals, in support of people, the environment and animals. Minimizing our impact on the environment, improving the quality of work in our supply chain are just some of the projects that we are committed to. How many products in your collection are organic and/or made of recycled material? In our collections about the 50% of products are made with recycled materials, the garments made of organic material are a recent novelty of our collections, we strongly believe in this project and we are sure that it will be able to achieve excellent results while maintaining consistency with the inspiring principles of the brand. Many brands are now going toward the direction of sustainability and lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? The pandemic has encouraged many companies to talk about sustainability issues. This wave can only please us very much and we hope that all companies that engage in sustainability projects will commit themselves with ethical solidity and consistency to achieving better results for the planet. Future plans to further reduce your

58

environmental impact? We committed in December 2019 together with other 800 B Corps to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, this is one of the main tasks we are working on and which involves all company departments and our entire supply chain. Are you part of 1% for the Planet? What do you think about that? We are not currently part of the admirable 1% for the Planet initiative. We are a small company and we commit every year with our 1% coefficient to donate 1% of our turnover to the charitable initiatives with which we collaborate. What outdoor brands could do to have less impact on the planet? It is important to make lasting commitments and structure your own sustainable path with a holistic approach, involving each department in the effort to reduce impacts and create shared value. These principles apply to every company and should become a focus especially in the entire textile and clothing sector. What could consumers do to impact less? Here at Save The Duck we strongly believe in the strength of the individual, that’s why we are very acti-

ve in communicating our projects to our stakeholders and pushing them to make informed choices not only in purchases, but in every aspect of their life, through suggestions and concrete stimuli that increase the sense of responsibility towards every little action that can have benefits on the planet. In your opinion, is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore less polluting? Yes, there is a clear predisposition to purchase products and services with ethical and sustainable content. It is important that this availability does not turn into the only motivation for companies to start approaching sustainability issues. These are ethical and profound principles that form the basis of concrete and fruitful sustainability policies. What happens to your products from past collections that remain unsold in stores? Wholesalers who choose Save The Duck know that they will hardly have any leftovers, and we also study our garments in order for them to be beyond trends and seasons.



SUSTAINABILITY LUCA MICH

LA SPORTIVA Luca Mich, Marketing & Communications Manager What does the word sustainability mean to you? For us, being sustainable means collecting the legacy of the mountain environment that surrounds us and the path we have made so far, guided by research, quality, passion, people and innovation. Environmental sustainability is the fundamental driver that pushes us to seek low-impact solutions capable of extending the life cycle of our products. Respect for the environment around us is part of our DNA, it is what we want to transfer through our products and our concrete daily actions. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? We are aware that we are not perfect and that continuous daily improvement is needed at all levels but I would say that we have been working in the right direction for several years. At the product level, today more than 50% of the apparel collection uses recycled polyester yarns from end-of-life plastic bottles, as well as organic cotton and bio-degradable fibers. On the footwear side we have two climbing products in the collection made with raw materials recycled from the production cycle and from the coming season we started using waste materials also for the production of insoles and midsoles on running and approach models. But perhaps the key aspect today is resoling, a practice that climbers know well and that we are trying to expand to other footwear models as well. Many brands are now going toward the direction of sustainability and lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? There is certainly a marketing aspect that many people follow. The real difference, as usual, is made by the real intentions of change, concrete practices and small

60

daily tangible efforts. In any case, the push given by the outdoor sector on these issues is perceived strong and the attention of the consumer in our sector is certainly more pronounced. Returning to our specific case, for example the practice of re-using processing waste, such as rubber and leather, has always been present in the company well before this current interest in the issue of sustainability, so that, a little naively, sometimes we don't even think of it as an element to talk about. Leather and rubber scraps have been supplied for years to companies that use them as raw materials for the production of sound-absorbing panels. Are you part of 1% for the Planet?

What do you think about that? We became part of it 5 years ago because we realized that what we were doing in environmental and social practices through donations, support to associations and other realities such as EOCA, to which we donate 40% of the proceeds of Black Friday, already put us in the conditions to declare us 1% for the Planet. Once again, we think that concrete actions should be accompanied by certifications that certify what we are doing. What outdoor brands could do to have less impact on the planet? I believe that many of the messages and practices launched by Patagonia in this field are of absolute value and can be pursued by many brands. The


SUSTAINABILITY LUCA MICH

repairing center concept, combined with greater consumer awareness, can have a positive impact. At the same time, I believe that the pressure and positive tension to change in a sustainable perspective on the suppliers of components and ingredients, that are fundamental for the technicality of the products, is already bringing good results. What could consumers do to impact less? I believe the consumer should, and I say this against the interests of industry, consume less, be more careful in purchasing choices and turn to brands that certify their supply chain, that support environmental and humanitarian causes.

In your opinion, is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore less polluting? It really depends on the markets. When it comes to consumer trends, in the United States you can already see how the consumer is demanding this type of approach to brands. The markets of northern Europe continually demand products and services that go in the direction of sustainability. The market distortion that wants the most virtuous and attentive consumers to pay more for sustainability is unfortunately a big limitation. For years, the industry has been asking to governments and customs systems to also favor products

with eco components, so that the cost of increased research and the preciousness of recycled raw materials will not fall precisely on the final consumer. What happens to your products from past collections that remain unsold in stores? Over the years we have worked in an almost scientific way to minimize overstock in our stores, both multi-brand and mono-brand ones. In the single-brand stores, the inventories once placed in outlets disappear rather quickly. Beyond this, alongside a well-calibrated production of seasonal sell-in sales aimed at minimizing surpluses, in some cases we proceed with donations to associations and foundations.

SUSTAINABILITY ANDREW GOODMAN

SCOTT SPORTS Andrew Goodman, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Manager

What does the word sustainability mean to you? At Scott we believe in doing things the right way for the right reasons. We are committed to improving the impacts of our products and business practices, preserving the environment for future generations, and stimulating positive change in our communities. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? In the past years, we have created our CSR department: re-source by Scott. This program focuses on three key pillars: people, product, and planet. When we mention the people, we consider that all people involved in our value chain should be treated fairly with dignity and respect. With Planet, we take into consideration that the earth’s resources must be used in such a way that ecosystems and future generations should not be adversely affected. Finally, we aim to maximize the sustainable nature of our products while still maintaining their high level of performance through innovation, technology, and design. How many products in your collection are organic and/or made of recycled material? In 2021, 28% of our Fall/Winter and 35% of our Spring/ Summer apparel collections are labeled re-source by Scott. For an apparel product to have our more sustainable product label it must fulfil the following criteria. A product must be made of at a minimum of 50% recycled content or 100% renewable materials. These need to come from certified sources and the

62

product cannot contain any PFC-based durable water repellence. Many of our styles contain some forms of more sustainable materials however do not meet our criteria for our more sustainable products. Many brands are now going toward the direction of sustainability and lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? We would not call sustainability a trend. It is something that is here to stay. We are seeing increased awareness on the topic by consumers who are looking into the sustainability information provided by brands. On top of that, there are more environmental and social regulatory requirements being proposed or put into law. Brands that forgo to work on the topic of sustainability will find themselves being left behind and penalized if they do nothing. Future plans to further reduce your environmental impact? We have many projects on the theme of sustainability. As well as reducing the impact of our products by selecting more eco-responsible materials and ensuring that our value chain partners are treating their employees with dignity and respect, we are also working on some more philanthropic projects. I cannot get into too many details with

you; however, these projects are focused on two topics that are especially important to us: Empowering people through sports and protecting our playgrounds. What outdoor brands could do to have less impact on the planet? Many outdoor brands are doing a lot of work to reduce their footprints. Choosing better materials that have lower footprints; educating customers on how to better care and repair their products to ensure that they are used for many years; offering long-lasting high-quality products and working on lessening the impact of their transportation, are but a few ways that companies can work on reducing the carbon footprint of their products. In your opinion, is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore less polluting? Many studies have shown that consumers are willing to pay more for more eco-responsible products, however, the quality must remain high, and the price differential cannot be too great. Quality and sustainability often go hand in hand. The better the quality of a product, the longer-lasting it is, and the lesser its environmental impact when considering the product’s lifecycle.

DACHSTEIN Christoph Döttelmayer, Head of Design

What does the word sustainability mean to you? Sustainability to me means the future. Being in the future and in my job creating for the years to come on our planet together. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? We are working on a variety of products and processes to be more sustainable. This also means products that will last a longer and might even have more than one consumer. How many products in your collection are organic and/or made of recycled material? At the moment we have 4 styles in the collection. We work together with Econyl regenerated nylon materials made of collected fishing nets and carpets. Many brands are now going toward the direction of sustainability and lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? It’s a movement, not a trend and not just our industry needs to follow this path. Everyone should. There is a lot of “green washing” happening and you have to be careful what you believe. If we do not work all together on this our world will drastically change to worse for generations to come. Future plans to further reduce your environmental impact? We are an

outdoor brand with a focus on technical products and you can expect such sustainable technical products also from us. I cannot spoil too much! Are you part of 1% for the Planet? What do you think about that? No, we are not a part yet but I think it’s a very good network to tackle these environmental issues. What outdoor brands could do to have less impact on the planet? In my opinion the end user needs to rethink his buying behaviour. After all a lot of brands follow these needs and if everything always needs to happen now and faster and faster however this whole sustainable situation will not unfold. The worst is how raw materials are sourced and how most of the goods travel around to world to reach us. This is what we have to work on. Who really needs a winter shoe in August in Europe? What could consumers do to impact less? Rethink their needs. If you buy new stuff why not resell the old one. Use the products as long as they last. After all this might create a nice bond between a good pair of hiking bo-

ots, you and your adventures. In your opinion, is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore less polluting? Yes most consumers are willing to pay more but again they might believe to many marketing stories which are simply not true. There will be a lot of new materials and technologies in the future which eventually make it easier for everyone to acquire. We in the footwear and outdoor industry needs to work on this strongly to be on the forefront in also what to do with used up products. How to recycle them and so on. What happens to your products from past collections that remain unsold in stores? Sometimes the customer is able to return them to us and we will always find a way to get the pair of shoes on someone’s feet. We do not destroy any of these shoes. Also to recycle a shoe is one of the hardest thing you can do with all its different components. For this we need to find a better way. Of course some companies are also already working on this.

THE NORTH FACE Julian Lings, Sustainability Manager The North Face EMEA

What does the word sustainability mean to you? The North Face has always been committed to spreading a vision that focuses on overcoming your limits through exploration, and this is also reflected in our commitment to sustainability: protecting the outdoors to allow future generations of explorers to enjoy it. This is also the origin of our desire to create more performing products with an increasingly reduced impact on the planet. We do this by developing environmentally responsible products, made from recycled, renewable and regenerated materials, as well as continuously expanding the boundaries of circular design. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? We have set goals based on science to ensure they are in line with those set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. To reduce the rate of CO2 emissions and achieve the parameters necessary to satisfy our SBTs, the best thing we can do is to improve our products. In fact, 55% of our greenhouse gas emissions come from our production processes. To address this problem, we have set ourselves the goal of converting 100% of our leading materials into recycled, renewable, responsible or regenerated materials by 2025 regarding clothing, and by 2030 for equipment and footwear. Furthermore, we are committed to collaborating with our most important manufacturing plants in order to involve them in the path towards reducing their emissions rate. Many brands are now going toward the direction of sustainability and

lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? The issue of sustainability has gained increasing importance in recent years and has become extremely important for brands that are attentive and committed to sustainability. It is nice to see the growing interest about sustainability because this will be fundamental in addressing the environmental challenges that await us and being able to preserve the environment. On the other hand, it is important that brands make concrete and quantifiable commitments and carry out actions that provide significant and measurable reductions in environmental impact. Future plans to further reduce your environmental impact? We want to focus more and more on regenerative agriculture. Regenerated materials are particularly interesting because they offer the opportunity not only to limit the ecological impact but can even be positive for the environment. We are also focusing on how to implement circular design within the way we make products. This is reflected both in the duration of products and in the guarantee service offered and we are excited to go further and bring to the market an increasing number of products made following a circular approach. What outdoor brands could do to

have less impact on the planet? Focus on the product first: the way the materials are made and the way the products are manufactured are responsible for most of the impact of outdoor brands. By moving to more sustainable materials and increasingly integrating circularity into processes, brands in the sector can drastically reduce their environmental impact. What could consumers do to impact less? The textile sector has one of the biggest environmental impacts on the planet and one of the reasons is that the garments are used for a very short time. Low cost garments are often treated as if they were disposable. In the UK, for example, the average life span of a garment is just over two years. Storing and using goods for longer is the best way for consumers to help reduce their impact on the environment. In your opinion, is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore less polluting? Recent data suggests that consumers are willing to spend more on environmentally sustainable and socially responsible products. However, I don't think we should take it for granted. Brands must commit to increasing consumers' perception of the value of their products. The same goes for sustainability.

RAB & LOWE ALPINE Sarah Kampf, Equip PR & Communications Manager Central Europe What does sustainability mean to you? Sustainability is a way of life and a strong commitment to preserve nature’s resources and beauty, to create long-term relationships and to take responsibility for our own actions. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? At Equip, being sustainable has always been in our DNA. Creating products that last a lifetime, repairing them in our own repair center and developing gear that provides protection and comfort when needed has been part of the business since Rab’s and Lowe Alpine’s origins back in 1981 and 1967. Doing things the right way is what drives us, and with our commitment to become a climate neutral company in 2020 and to reach Net Zero by 2030, we have underlined this deeply rooted attitude. We know we need to act fast to preserve the beauty of nature and the mountains and this is the reason why we have set ourselves an ambitious agenda with scientifically based targets.

the direction of sustainability and lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? The outdoor industry does have its origins in the mountains and in nature and there is a true ambition within the industry to preserve what we love most. Together, we know we can make a true difference and set a leading example also for other industries. Future plans to further reduce your environmental impact? We have set ourselves an ambitious and science based plan to reduce our emissions and to reach Net Zero by 2030. This strategic plan has been developed together with independent climate consultant South Pole who will constantly monitor and evaluate our process. All of this requires action across all levels of the business, be it product design/development, packaging, energy consumption, travel, etc. We have calculated all of our current emissions based on scientific findings so we are able to take the necessary actions to reach our goals. What could consumers do to impact less? Facing the huge challenges of climate change, everybody needs to take his/her responsibility and it is of utmost importance to act together. We can all contribute with changes in our every day routines, such as travel, con-

sumption, food, etc. We are very much looking forward to walk along this path together with our partners and customers and we know that as a community we are able to change things for the better. In your opinion, is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore less polluting? We are very glad to see that consumers are making informed choices and demanding actual change from the industry. Also, we know that consumers appreciate when products are designed for a long lifecycle, contributing to less waste going to landfill and more sustainability. What happens to your products from old collections that remain unsold in stores? Regarding kit that has been sold retailers already, each retailer decides on his/her own how to proceed with unsold stock. Any samples, repaired returns, overstocked items, or other unsaleable products that remain within our own warehouses are either resold in our retail outlets, at events or trade shows, repurposed into new items, donated to charities for reuse or resale through Outdoor Gear for Good, disassembled back to raw components and donated as fabric for education and research.

How many products in your collection are organic and/or made of recycled material? We are constantly increasing the amount of products featuring recycled fabrics or insulation materials. E.g., our most popular and best selling down collection, the Microlight range, is filled with P.U.R.E. recycled down and features recycled materials since AW20. Also our Cirrus synthetic insulation collection consists of recycled materials. More and more products are following, at the moment (2020), 34% of Rab’s fabric contained recycled materials. That’s 10 times more than 2019. Many brands are now going toward

VAUDE Günther Acherer, CEO Panorama Sport Diffusion, Vaude Italy

What does the word sustainability mean to you? Sustainability is a word that is now (over)used to identify or be identified attentive to nature and resources. But I think the word contains much more within it. It is clear personal and corporate identification that makes this world cleaner and more liveable. It starts from your own behavior, from the business strategy to get to the selection of material and production. What do you concretely propose to be more sustainable? Sustainability is a word that is now (over)used to identify or be identified attentive to nature and resources. But I think the word contains much more within it. It is clear personal and corporate identification that makes this world cleaner and more liveable. It starts from your own behavior, from the business strategy to get to the selection of material and production. How many products in your collection are organic and/or made in recycled material? In the Summer 21 collection, more than 33% of Vaude’s products are made with biobased or recycled material from fishing nets, coffee grounds, PET bottles. But more than 95% of clothing boasts the Green Shape label. But we don't want to

66

stop there and we are also facing big challenges, especially with tents, backpacks and footwear. Materials such as hard plastics, metals, foams for shoe soles etc. Often, the ability of our suppliers to understand and accept the high environmental requirements for our products has yet to be developed. Therefore, we are investing a large amount of energy in our supply chain. Many brands are now going toward the direction of sustainability and lower environmental impact, what do you think of this trend? Is it just marketing or is it real? Undoubtedly, the problem of environmental sustainability and its impact are highly hot topics. If a company does not declare itself in favor, it risks losing potential consumers, especially in the younger generations. However, we must be

very careful to be actually attentive to the environmental issue and not to make fun of consumers. What we personally have decided is to rely on companies that pay attention to environmental issues, such as Vaude, not for a matter of pure marketing, but precisely because we believe in it personally. Future plans to further reduce your environmental impact? Our global strategy aims for climate neutral production by 2024 with 90% of our products produced with biobased or recycled materials. With science-based climate goals, Vaude wants to make its contribution to limiting global warming to a maximum of 1.5 degrees in accordance with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. What outdoor brands could do to have less impact on the planet?


SUSTAINABILITY GÜNTHER ACHERER

They could raise awareness of the climate problem among their producers and suppliers. Vaude helps its own to track their energy consumption, including the energy sources from which their energy is generated. It then works with suppliers to define measures for effective energy management so that they can save as much energy (and therefore emissions) as possible. Another very important and at the same time challenging step is the conversion of the energy source into regenerative sources such as wind, sun or biomass. Instead, what could the consumer do to impact less? Our products spend a good part of their "lives" with you. At the end of the day, you have a direct influence on how sustainable they really are, depending on how good a life they had at your place.

If you take good care of your products, they’ll be there for you the next time you head out on an adventure in the mountains or on your bike. If something is broken, don't just toss it, repairing things can be fun, it's good for the environment and it’s good for your wallet. Many people are thrilled to get secondhand products that are still in good shape, either for a good price or as a donation. Or why not try out renting rather than buying? Is the consumer really willing to spend more on a higher quality product and/or made of organic material and therefore less polluting? The final consumer is increasingly attentive and informed about environmental issues. These are issues that affect everyone closely and especially the younger generations are more attentive. It is no coinciden-

ce that they are the first promoters of Fridays For Future and the Slow Revolution. So yes. Or rather, our target customers are in fact willing to spend more for a high-performance product that is at the same time made with organic and environmentally friendly material. What happens to your products from old collections that remain unsold in stores? In general, the design of Vaude products is timeless, long lasting and not subject to sudden fashion trends. In addition, Vaude has very elaborate production planning and forecasting for its two seasonal collections in order to meet market demands. But at the same time avoiding excessive overstocks and consequently price declining for older goods. rice declining for older goods.

Since the invention of the modern synthetic fleece, the Polartec R&D team has never stopped developing high-performance technologies capable of improving the way products are created and manufactured. As an ingredient brand, it offers real innovation and versatility through a range of fabrics ranging from skin contact, to insulation, to protection from the elements. Polartec technologies are now used by leading brands in the sports, military and professional sectors and are synonymous with uncompromising performance. Polartec also comes to our help when temperatures get warmer. In these periods, outdoor enthusiasts tend to opt for polyester or cotton fabrics looking for greater breathability and to facilitate sweating of the skin. However, all this has a negative side: cotton ends up getting wet and heavy while polyester dries too quickly if used in extreme heat causing overheating. Polartec Delta instead

is positioned halfway between cotton and polyester, thanks to its composition made of a mix of natural fibers (Tencel) and polyester and to its structure that acts as a cooling system, managing sweat, prolonging natural cooling of the skin and allowing the fabric to dry quickly. Polartec Delta boasts an innovative composition that regulates drying times and guarantees better breathability when wet. In fact, its special knitting uses both hydrophobic and hydrophilic yarns for more advanced control of moisture dispersion. These knitted-woven radiant structures keep cooler at high temperatures by increasing the flow of air for heat dissipation. Delta therefore guarantees technical fabrics to make the most of the body's natural cooling system. The fabrics in contact with the skin, with breathable and quick-drying capabilities, eliminate moisture but do not contribute to body cooling. Delta, on the other hand, works more efficiently by increasing the contact points for better air flow, faster dispersion of moisture and a reduction in the effect of adhesion to the skin of wet fabrics. The result is a cool-to-the-touch and extremely breathable fabric with exceptional drainage and odor control capabilities.

PAS NORMAL BALANCE Long-sleeved base layer that acts as an optimal intermediate layer during all outdoor activities. Made of lightweight Polartec Delta fabric that helps the body's natural cooling process. The knit construction offers high stretch and increased airflow, helping to dissipate heat and disperse moisture for better odor control. It is a bluesign certified product.

POLARTEC POWER DRY Polartec Power Dry is the most advanced fabric in terms of moisture management in contact with the skin. It is made thanks to a knitting process according to a patented process and uses two different constructions for the two surfaces of the fabric (internal and external) so that each fiber guarantees maximum efficiency. In this way you get two different surfaces: one optimized to quickly remove sweat from the skin, the other to transfer moisture to the external surface which is much wider than the original one, ensuring faster evaporation during sport activities. This allows fabrics to dry quickly while continuous evaporation prevents saturation and regulates temperature in both hot and cold conditions.

MILLET MORPHO ZIP

Polartec Power Dry is in fact designed to guarantee superior mechanical drainage and to keep the skin dry when you sweat. The result is highly breathable fabrics that represent the ideal solution as a base layer, both as underwear and as a first technical layer during all outdoor activities. The polypropylene yarn on the inner surface makes the body moisture management process even more efficient. Using the specific properties of polypropylene, which has extremely low moisture retention, Polartec Power Dry fabrics therefore offer a drier and warmer base layer, removing at least 30% more sweat than any other product. These are fabrics designed to keep the body dry during physical activity and are therefore ideal for runners, skiers, and travelers.

This technical t-shirt designed for mountaineering and summer hiking is made of Polartec Power Dry. Its specific and innovative structure absorbs body moisture and spreads it on the external surface ensuring fast evaporation. This guarantees great thermal comfort, it also features an anti-odor stretch fabric in 100% recycled polyester and a unique construction on the shoulders that prevents rubbing of the backpack.

HDRY HDry restarts with an even stronger focus on the 3D direct lamination technology of the waterproof and breathable membrane.

The growth of HDry, the waterproof and breathable technology for footwear, gloves and backpacks, continues. The company actually represents a sort of "restart" as it was created by the founding partners of the famous OutDry. At the helm of HDry there are in fact Matteo Morlacchi, an engineer with a background of more than 20 years in the design and production of technical fabrics for sports use, and Maurizio Ostani, born in '79, with a rich and long experience in the distribution of soles and components for footwear in his own family business. HDry has restarted at full speed, thanks to the support of those brands (including Scarpa, Ferrino, Rossignol, etc.) that believe in the potential and advantages of a technology that focuses entirely on waterproofing outdoor products through a 3D direct lamination of a waterproof and breathable membrane. The continuation, therefore, of a concept that was born for the first time in 2006, when it established itself on the outdoor market and beyond, thanks to that innovation that also won the ISPO "Eco Design - Form Follow Sustainability" award in 2008 And the success of this concept derives primarily from the actual satisfaction of end consumers, who finally find in HDry the solution to the problem of wet and cold feet caused by the penetration and stagnation of water inside their footwear, typical of traditional systems where the membrane is combined with the lining.

70

Hi Matteo, how and when was HDry born? HDry was born in 2018, created by the same group of technicians and engineers who founded OutDry, taking up the same innovative philosophy and continuing its technological development. Therefore, also for HDry, the innovation lies entirely in how the membrane is "integrated" into the shoe, that means where it is positioned. "Move the waterproofing barrier as much as possible to the outermost layer of the shoe". What does this mean? Even today, in most waterproof shoes with a membrane, this one is positioned inside the shoe, glued

to the lining. The water can therefore penetrate through the upper and is stopped by the membrane only when it has already entered the shoe. Clearly, it is not the ideal solution, because even if the water does not reach the foot, it stagnates in the shoe and weighs it down. The HDry construction, on the other hand, moves the membrane much further outwards, together with the upper, avoiding in this way any water penetration. What are the advantages of HDry technology? In short, the advantages are the same as those found in a technical jacket (2 or 3 layers) where the outer fabric and membrane are joined


THE PILL TECHNOLOGY BY SILV I A GA L L I A NI

together: water cannot penetrate. That would happen instead if the membrane were joined to the lining of the jacket (which happens precisely in shoes with a "waterproof lining"). HDry takes a big leap forward in the performance of waterproof shoes, which in fact had lagged a bit behind. No water penetration also means greater lightweight and more breathability which are very important in intensive outdoor or mountaineering activities. For those people wishing to “visualize” the technology and its benefits better, we recommend downloading the HDry app, which can be found on both Apple and Google stores.

Sustainability is now a key concept in the outdoor world, what do you think about this issue? HDry offers many concrete benefits in terms of sustainability and this is also why many brands are adopting our technology. In fact, HDry represents one of those cases in which a more effective use of materials with modern construction techniques allows greater sustainability. The reason is quickly explained: by placing the same membrane as much as possible on the outside, waterproofing is made more effective and water penetration is avoided. This means a lower need to use water repellent treatments (PFCs) on the upper and a

longer life of the shoe, whose structural components are not exposed to the action of hydrolysis. Furthermore, HDry, not being a membrane manufacturer, is not bound to a particular material or polymer. We therefore choose the most performing materials with the lowest environmental impact: HDry is in fact PTFE-free, PFCs-free and Oeko-Tex certified. Future projects? We are currently working on many innovations and processes to be applied in fields where we are already present (shoes, gloves and backpacks) as well as working on something in technical clothing that we believe will be revolutionary.

GORE-TEX INVISIBLE FIT The Gore-Tex Invisible Fit technology, since 2017, offers not only full protection in case of adverse weather conditions, but also a more flexible fit, similar to the one given by running shoes without a protective membrane.

72

At first glance, the shoes with Gore-Tex Invisible Fit Technology may indeed seem like normal running shoes, but this innovative Gore technology makes them waterproof over time thanks to pores that are much smaller than drops of water, but larger than moisture vapour in order to keep the foot dry and breathable on the asphalt. Waterproof, windproof and ultra-breathable, this innovative membrane is integrated without any visible markings into a wide range of sports shoes. Welded directly into the shoe, the construction is lighter and reduced the weight of the Gore-Tex material by 18% (compared to traditional bootie construction), and is also designed to be invisible. Laminating the membrane directly on the upper material eliminates

folds and wrinkles in order to reduce pressure points and ensure a perfect fit of the forefoot. The technology also allows for a more comfortable tongue and a wider tip ensuring less irritation and more support during longer runs for an optimal fit. Thanks to its proven waterproofness, your feet will stay dry and protected even in the event of summer showers or icy winter puddles. The moisture vapour produced by sweat escapes easily, maintaining the balance of the microclimate unchanged. In addition, the technology ensures a fast drying which makes the shoes fresher and allows them to be reused faster.

MICHELIN: HOW DOES A SOLE COME TO LIFE? The sole of the shoes is a fundamental element for any outdoor activity. But what is the development process that leads to the creation of these indispensable allies of all outdoor disciplines?

Phase 1 - Market needs and innovation To help us understand the various steps that lead to the creation of a sole we had a talk with Trond Sonnergren, Director of Product and Innovation di JV International – soles by MICHELIN, who told us about the different production steps of the product design process. The fundamental starting point is to understand the needs of the market. Knowing in depth the needs of consumers allows to obtain important information that will feed ideas for new features and specifications of the final product. But it's not enough to just listen to end customers, you need to talk to retailers, designers and material developers all over the world to find out exactly what the market is looking for, often even anticipating their needs. From this point of view it is extremely important to work with a team of professionals who are passionate about the product they are going to

74

outline. "New and existing relationships are the key to innovation" says Trond. “In order to design a sole concept, we need a clear idea of construction. We exploit our bank of knowledge to create a shoe that’s a precise fit for purpose.”

Phase 2 - The creative design process Once the requests and new needs of consumers have been defined, the design phase starts. First come the hand-made sketches and drawings that slowly begin to become more and more detailed and technical. At this point we move on to develop molds in aluminum or steel but also in different types of resins. Through continuous improvement, draft after draft, the sole begins to take shape. It is time to take into consideration the different features such as cushioning, flexibility, grip, etc., which will eventually lead to completely change the structure of the sole. Trond’s team works closely with the brands' product teams to understand the key function of the shoe. In fact, shoe and sole cannot be seen as independent elements, but as a single element that will define the final product and its function. In this phase the different materials that will make up the finished product are also taken into consideration and both the economic and functional aspects are evaluated as part of the development process. Once the sole is completely realized, it is time to test it.

Phase 3 - Test “The sole is then rigorously tested” says Trond. It is important that the finished product follows specific performance standards, however the actual performance of a shoe cannot be measured by laboratory tests alone. Adhering to countless industry standards is only part of the process. “Field tests are just as important, indeed they are fundamental” he explains. The shoe is then literally put to the test and tested in the field by technicians, professionals and enthusiasts.

One of the most important elements of a sole design that is also taken into account in these tests is the tread. The tread has the task of making us feel safe in our movements, which is why it plays an extremely important role when choosing a shoe. Every shoe and every activity needs a specific tread design, which means that every technical sole has a special function. “Take a hiking boot, for example, the heel can be used for braking when walking downhill” says Trond. “The arch on this type of shoe has to protect the foot and provide grip on large stones or slippery roots”. “While hiking and trail-running share similar terrain” he goes on, “the exercise is completely different, which changes the whole design of the shoe.”

Phase 0 - Inspiration Let's take a step back and go back to the beginning of the design phases. Inspiration is what moves us towards the creation of a new and innovative product. But where does the inspiration for a new sole come from? “We find inspiration everywhere” says Trond. “It is the purpose of the sole that give direction to our designers in the creation of a new sole. It is the "fit for use" that guides the design and leads the team to seek technical, innovative and out of the ordinary ideas in any area to be transferred directly to the design of the soles”. All these notions are then translated to adapt to the different purposes that the final product must have. Most soles are in fact designed specifically for their unique function as human movement is completely different and each product will ultimately have unique characteristics that will define its specific function.

MOUNTAINEERING SHOES Even for the mountaineer or hiker who climbs at high altitude, choosing the shoe is never so trivial. The most technical mountain footwear is designed to offer 360° support, comfort and protection, playing a fundamental role in terms of safety and performance. Lightweight, thermal insulation, waterproofness and grip are essential features, without forgetting support and protection of the ankle. For clarity and simplicity we can make a first distinction according to the different mountaineering activities. Mid-level mountaineering The ideal shoe for this type of activity is the classic boot that we all know, updated with the new technologies available. Structured and rigid at the right point, it offers support to the foot and protection to move safely on stony ground, passages on rocks and crossing of snowfields, without giving up the necessary comfort to tackle multi-day treks. From great glacier crossings to 4000m alpine ridges, it is ideal for those who are starting to climb at high altitude and want to approach the world of mountaineering with a multi-purpose boot for tackling mixed terrains. It is usually equipped with a rear notch to ensure compatibility with semi-automatic crampons.

High altitude mountaineering It requires particularly techni-

cal, robust and reliable models, specifically designed to tackle high mountains and Himalayan expeditions. Their peculiarity is to guarantee excellent thermal insulation and a constant internal temperature. Often they are equipped with a removable inner shoe and gaiters with heat-sealed zippers as additional barriers against water and snow. They also offer compatibility with automatic crampons thanks to the front notch to house the metal cage and the rear one for the heel lever. They are a concentrate of high-performance technologies and materials, dedicated to an elite of experts.

Approaching and via ferrata These shoes have been created to meet the needs of those who practice rock mountaineering and via ferratas: light and agile in walking and climbing,

often low on the ankle, generally equipped with a fit that enhances sensitivity on the smallest supports, a lacing extended to the tip and a climbing zone to ensure adherence to rock. To all this we must add the comfort factor, which is fundamental in the approach and return phases from a route. Conceived for technical and expert users, they are increasingly appreciated by a wider audience for less technical uses.

Conclusions Once you have decided the use you want to make of it, you can move onto the evaluation of the different technical features. Each model has its own fit, and even if suitable for your needs, it may not be suitable for your foot. Walk and evaluate well the feelings of the foot which must be sufficiently comfortable in the toe without feeling constrained. Try changing the lacing adjustment a few times. Evaluate the rigidity, or flexibility of the sole, which depending on the type of use must allow or not the foot to flex inside the shoe. Don’t be afraid to ask for explanations or advices in the shop and from those who work on the mountain: they will help you finding the right boot, guaranteeing safety and fun at high altitude.

Salewa expands the Dropline range with a mid version that adds safety and protection to the ankle through a thermoformed anatomical support (called APS) that integrates with the proven 3F system. At the base of the shoe, the features of the standard model are unchanged, such as the soft shock absorbing midsole in EVA and the Pomoca sole with an accentuated rocker that provides a fast and fluid transition from heel to toe. The sole of the foot is tapered and enveloping. The original air mesh upper features a 3D injected Exa Shell Over cage, TPU overlays, and a comfortable stretch gaiter that wraps around the ankle helping to keep debris out. The shell that anatomically supports the heel proved

to be effective in preventing oscillations, locking the foot in position and ensuring torsional stability. The Tech Approach lacing with integrated clamp maintains the correct lacing tension in two different areas, while the customizable footbed allows you to precisely adjust volume and fit. Dropline is a new generation speed hiking shoe for moving quickly and comfortably. Increasing the weight by only 30 grams compared to the low version, it combines the agility of a trail running shoe with the comfort and protection of a hiking boot, allowing quick and dynamic movements.

HIKING SHOES When you decide to buy a hiking shoe, the market gives you many possibilities. It may seem trivial, but the first step is to simply ask yourself what your needs as a hiker are. Making the right choice first of all implies a focus on the type of activity we are going to perform. What kind of hiker am I? On what kind of terrain will I walk on? How long and at what pace? How much will my backpack weigh? To choose the ideal shoe, it is essential to understand the use we want to make of it. How often do I go hiking? How much experience do I have in this area? Your technical level will be essential to help you choose the right shoes.

Low cut or high cut? Low cut models, generally lighter and more flexible, allow greater freedom of the ankle, favoring the natural movement of the foot. They are suitable for daily activities in the valley and in the mountains, simple trails, stable and uniform terrains. They are also the choice of experienced and capable hikers who want to move dynamically and quickly on technical terrain. High cut shoes, on the other hand, protect the ankle, offering support and stability when it comes to tackling hiking trails characterized by a wide variety of techni-

cal, irregular and rocky sections. Based on their structure and rigidity, they can be more or less suitable for backpacking or multi-day excursions in a purely mountain environment. They are generally recommended as the only choice for beginners that do not want to risk trauma to the ankles or excessive fatigue in the lower limbs. Those who consider this type of boot exaggeratedly heavy and bulky can opt for the many mid versions on the market, whose height goes up to the malleolus, finding an excellent compromise for excursions with medium-light loads on gravel and uneven terrain.

And in winter? Many manufacturers of hiking shoes and boots have chosen to equip their models with waterproof and breathable solutions. One above all is the Gore-Tex membrane positioned between the upper fabric and the inner lining that offers reliable protection to keep feet comfortable and dry, increasing warmth in

harsh weather conditions and protecting the foot from moisture. It is not necessary to opt for a waterproof membrane, but it is a valid advice. A good alternative is a leather model because if there’s a dry weather or high temperatures a Gore-Tex shoe can be sometimes excessively hot. Although heavier, the leather offers protection and breathability at the same time, making the shoe comfortable and cool.

How to find the right fit? When you try on new shoes, do it with the right calm. The best time of the day is in the afternoon, when the feet tend to swell. Trekking shoes should fit comfortably, without pressure points and rubbing. They must wrap the foot without forcing it, ensuring a secure contact with the ground. Check the heel to make sure the back remains firmly in place. Between the tip of the shoe and the toes there should be a space corresponding to a finger. This aspect is very important downhill, in order to avoid collisions with the tip. Always try on the next half size. In case of uncertainty or indecision, opt for the larger one.

The soft collar protects the ankle from the entry of stones or mud, integrating an easy-fit spoiler that facilitates the fit. It gave us a feeling of stability and protection even in the case of uneven terrain faced at an intense pace. The rear stabilizer heel consolidates the walk on ridges. The lacing system is

integrated with an upper, with high-frequency reinforcements on the external mesh, that allows to distribute the tension and better wrap the foot, which has ample room to move in the front part. The EVA midsole, which maintains the same drop, absorbs impacts to the ground in a soft and elastic way. The FriXion White sole with XF compound offers great lateral stability. The design of the tread with its low depth well adapted to hard and dry ground. The accentuated curvature allows you to face the ground with a constant grip.

TRAIL RUNNING SHOES When choosing a trail running shoe, we should first of all evaluate our own features: weight, experience and running technique. The general rules? The more you weigh the more you need cushioning, the less you weigh and the more you can focus on lightweight and flexibility. Do you have an efficient pace? If the answer is yes, you will need to look for a reactive shoe with a limited drop. If not, you will need a structured shoe that stabilizes the stride. Taking elementary concepts for granted, we will divide the categories based on a common classification: the distance to be covered.

Short distance In this category we can include training sessions, short races, skyraces and vertical races, where lightweight is the most important aspect. We don’t need a highly protective and cushioning shoe, but precise fit, responsiveness and a medium-low midsole. The goal? Reduce energy use and promote the feeling with the ground.

protective downhill and on the technical sections. The recommended drop is the medium one, around 6mm, with a sufficiently cushioned midsole to withstand more hours of running and a comfortable, enveloping and secure fit.

Long distance For athletes aiming to run ultra distances, comfort and cushioning are of primary importance. Given the lower running speed, less protective and stable characteristics are normally found, but these are still sufficient to support the foot in covering the variety of terrain that may be encountered. It is advisable to use a shoe with enough volume which is necessary to allow the natural expansion and contraction of the foot.

Medium distance On distances from 30 to 50km, the choice of the shoe should be oriented towards flexibility, with a fairly light and reactive style, to tackle the easiest sections at a good pace, but sufficiently

What terrain? Excellence in any fields does not exist. Generally, in the choice of the tread, we find shoes that are good on all terrains, without excelling in any particular one,

or shoes that focus on a certain segment. In the first group we sees many ultra trail shoes as protagonists, designed to manage a multiplicity of grounds and meteorological variability. In the second group, there are shoes created for a very specific use. Where soft and humid terrains prevail it will be better to opt for a sole with spaced and deep lugs for a better contact with the ground and greater traction. With a compact and rocky ground, instead, you will have to look for a harder and drier compound and a sole with lower and closer lugs, often square or hexagonal, to guarantee multidirectional traction.

Waterproofness: yay or nay? As usual, we need to understand in what conditions we will use the shoes. Waterproofing has the obvious advantage of keeping the foot dry on wet trails, making it less breathable. Traditionally, the use of waterproof membranes is not that common in the running world, as it adds weight and stiffens the shoe, although today new technologies are trying to solve these problems. Finally, a waterproof shoe is warmer than a traditional model, which is an advantage in cold or humid climates, but makes it less suitable for hot and sunny weathers.

After a 2020 full of great innovation, Asics sees important changes and news also in its trail sector with the addition of Trabuco Max, a model that follows the trend of high-cushioning shoes, with an important midsole and a geometry designed for long distance endurance and maximum support thanks to a wide and stable platform. The spacious toebox will be appreciated by wide feet, and will ensure foot grip thanks to the elastic mesh of the upper, also reinforced with thermoplastic inserts along the forefoot profile. The geometry of the shoe features a 4mm drop which, combined with the eye-catching

The Asics Grip outsole features a well-sculpted and spaced lugs for less technical terrain and sliding terrains, but also provides safe traction and grip on wet surfaces. An excellent product in general for those who plan to go far and want to do it with a stable shoe with an easy roll for a very smooth and safe running experience.

A shoe with an impeccable appeal and a refined design but with a lot of substance also for runners who pay little attention to aesthetics and more to functionality. The seventh version of the Wildhorse comes with a very comfortable fit, a spacious shape for the foot and a very soft and flexible upper. Classic lace-up fastening and a rather thin tongue complete the top part. The most interesting features, however, are found in the lower part of the shoe, in the midsole/sole compartment. Already after covering the first few kilometers, you realize how the midsole is really soft but rather reactive. The feeling you get is the one of comfortable shoe at low pace,

glued to the feet when running fast on trails and in the push phases. This active return feeling once the shoe has been launched will be appreciated by runners with good running biomechanics. The sole and tread are quite stiff. An inevitable choice to increase durability and avoid too early wear. The feeling when running the first few kilometers is very particular because there is a certain instability but that in reality it is only a matter of habit due to the fact that we are usually used to shoes that are either very soft or very stiff and rigid and this is certainly the most interesting aspect of Nike Wildhorse 7. WE LIKE Comfortable even after many hours of use without losing reactivity.

LINING Lycra

With the first models of the Origin series, Tecnica has boldly bet on something new, returning to the market with exclusive customization technologies such as the CAS (Custom Adaptive Shape) system. Origin LD is the 2021 news for long distances, where the prerogatives are comfort and stable foot support. The Knitted Engineered Guidance technology combines the comfort of a knitted upper with a cage structure that offers adequate support. Pre-shaped upper and insole adapt to the anatomical shape of the foot, providing excellent feelings from the first step and virtually eliminating the need for adaptation. The alternating lacing system allows an adjustment in the smallest details, avoiding annoying

pressure points. The high-return EVA midsole proves to be an excellent compromise in terms of elasticity, softness and differential profile, masterfully absorbing shocks at the heel level. The sole is confirmed as one of the winning points, not only for the Megagrip compound, which we already know very well, but also for the configuration of the lugs that make it a true all-rounder: multidirectional traction, safe braking downhill, a remarkable grip even on wet surfaces. Origin LD ensured us great performances. A valid option for medium to long distances trails, which allows you to move quickly (even on technical terrains) giving an agile and fast race.

ROAD RUNNING SHOES Personal evaluations affect the choice of a running shoe: pronation, posture, weight, distances, rhythms and speed. To cope with all these variables and to move in this world, running shoes are divided into macro-categories. In particular: A0 (Minimalist) models are designed to favor the natural movement of the foot joints. They guarantee an optimal biomechanical position by effectively reproducing the feeling of “walking barefoot”. A1 (Super-light) shoes are suitable for competitions and fast-paced training thanks to their flexibility and elastic energy return. Recommended for fast and light runners. A2 (Intermediate) are models weighing between 240 and 295g that guarantee a decent level of cushioning. They can be used in fast trainings or in moderate-pace competitions, they can represent a potential cross-country shoe for light and trained athletes. The A3 (Maximum cushioning) are footwear able to offer maximum comfort thanks to their high cushioning power. Ideal for training, they are normally used by runners with neutral pronation, they are good for everyone and represent

the most widespread category. A4 (Stable) are shoes created specifically to correct problems of overpronation and guarantee excellent qualities of support, protection and stability. Also recommended for heavy athletes.

What pronation? Neutral pronation represents the natural movement of the foot inwards after the heel hits the ground. It helps absorb impact, relieving pressure on the knees and joints. The neutral pronation is characterized by a homogeneous and central wear of the sole of the foot. Overpronation is an exaggerated form of this movement and is identified by wear along the inner edge of the shoe. This is a fairly common feature and involves choosing shoes that offer high stability and good movement control. Supination is a rolling of the foot in the opposite direction and is identified by

a wear pattern along the outer edge, it results in an insufficient reduction in impact when putting the foot on the ground. Supinators are the minority and need shoes that offer high cushioning and flexibility.

How far do you want to run? Are you thinking about running a marathon? Leaving aside (fundamental) factors such as weight, running dynamics and level of experience, we can simply say that we are moving towards comfortable and amortized models (A3) that support hours of training and great amount of kilometers.

What’s your budget? Sometimes, despite good intentions, the wallet can make a difference. However, it is good to know that for the same category, almost all the big brands offer different price targets: from highly performing top models to cheaper solutions, which are equally valid but give up on some technology in favor of a lower price. Your legs are the ones that will always make you go fast.

CLIMBING SHOES A climbing shoe is the indispensable ally to guarantee confidence on holds. Shape, softness, closure system. How to move in this universe? The choice is strongly linked to the type of climbing (bouldering, crag, gym) and the more or less prolonged use that you will face. But first of all, you need to find the right product based on the level of experience and frequency of use. Beginner Novice climbers should prefer models that help the foot to work properly and that gradually develop the necessary muscles. Those who start climbing need a comfortable, basically rigid and supportive product designed to gradually adapt to something more performing. A straight and symmetrical shoe, with a neutral and flat shape, is perfect for becoming familiar with the holds. Avoid specific shoes but focus on all-round models with a relaxed fit. Do not listen to the advice of friends, and choose your normal size. Prefer comfort, you will have plenty of time to suffer.

Intermediate Are you looking for improvements on the wall? You can start choosing a balanced shoe that compensates for the level of performance with softness, with a tendentially asymmetrical and slightly arched shape. The first

factor will allow you to be more precise and effectively use the edges of the shoe, the second to optimize the thrust and power on the holds. If you mostly climb indoors, you will need a more flexible shoe that will allow greater feeling on artificial walls. If you climb on crags or on natural rocks, you will need a stiffer sole that allows you to save energy on long routes and to push better on smaller holds. To optimize performance, start considering one size smaller than your standard one.

Expert If you are a performing athlete, these notions will probably be your daily bread. Whether it’s boulders, crags or multi-pitch routes, you need to combine precision, adjustability and optimal grip. There is no doubt about this: the more arched is a shoe, the more aggressive it is, therefore suitable for an expert clim-

ber. The asymmetrical shape and a softer sole will guarantee excellent flexibility and greater sensitivity on micro holds. Carefully evaluate the choice of the size. Very often it seems that the more numbers you subtract from your shoes, the more you prove to be valiant climbers. In reality, exaggeratedly tight shoes can not only be harmful to the health of the feet, but also useless from the point of view of performance.

Velcro or laces? We could define the laces/Velcro issue as a personal preference. The substantial difference translates into practicality. Needless to say, if you have to wear and take off your shoes often (if you do bouldering or a lot of indoor climbing) the advice is to opt for Velcro closures that are easier and faster to wear. Shoes with laces require more preparation time, but allow you to tighten the shoe as much as possible with more precise adjustments and personalized adherence to the foot, which is only partially possible with Velcro.

CLOTHING Even today, when loading you backpack or evaluating a purchase, some old advice still applies. Combining different layers can really make the difference in every outdoor activity: you will be ready for sudden weather changes, often inevitable in a mountain environment, responding with the most appropriate garment for the context. Dressing in layers is always a winning strategy. Keywords: versatility and functionality The baselayer, the underwear in direct contact with the body, is the basis of any sports outfit. Synthetic or wool, it represents the first condition of comfort and must allow the rapid evaporation of moisture ensuring maximum breathability. The subsequent thermal layers, or midlayers, are a choice to make according to the activity you are going to practice, they are ideal for coping with the coldest situations and in all the warm-up phases of any sport activity. Fleece still represents the perfect midlayer, since, while ensuring excellent breathability and allowing maximum freedom of movement, it promotes thermal insulation and facilitates thermoregulation. Softshell jackets and shells protect against the cold and atmospheric agents. They are made using state-of-the-art technical fabrics, waterproof, able to protect from the wind and with

remarkable thermal capabilities. They can be compressed, folded and easily stored in the backpack, always ready to take them out in case the weather conditions require it.

Sustainability A green approach begins when choosing a brand. There are now many sustainability-oriented companies that follow strict Corporate Social Responsibility standards. You can check the initiatives carried out for the planet, the international indices and the awards received by independent bodies. It is important to check the labels of the garments, from which we can have valuable information to know if the fabrics are bluesign, Oeko Tex or Fair Wear Foundation certified, if the product is PFC-free, the percentage use of recycled materials. While it is true that natural materials are biodegradable (under certain

conditions), on the other hand, natural resources get wasted and greenhouse gases are produced to realize them. Synthetic materials, on the other hand, are partly recyclable but are also the source of pollution from microplastics. We must not be dogmatic in our choices, otherwise we risk frustrating every effort. Being informed is the minimum for those who think that Mother Nature must be respected.

Quality, quality, quality The materials that make up technical clothing can really make a difference, especially in terms of breathability and waterproofing. Sometimes it is worth paying a little more, especially when quality is rewarded. Choosing clothes that lasts over time avoids having to replace them every season, fueling the disposable consumerist system. Better to have few, but good things. Especially in the mountains, where clothes must seriously protect you. Quality means being able to rely on a whole series of features that help raise the price but which could really be decisive in emergency situations: don’t always save on money.

DEVOLD HIKING MAN SHIRT A quality middle layer: lightweight and soft, made of fine Merino. A sophisticated garment, the perfect companion for all your outdoor activities. Made of fine Merino wool, this long-sleeved shirt surprised us with its remarkable insulation characteristics and the ability to regulate body temperature. Enveloping and with a slim fit, it is able to absorb moisture and help keep you dry during outdoor adventures. Drier skin means a lower heart rate and less lactic acid and therefore being able to stay in nature longer. This jersey has been designed with anti-chafing seams to offer greater comfort even when wearing a backpack. A soft and comfortable baselayer, which thanks to the natural properties of wool, presents a fabric with a cooling effect when it is hot, while ensuring

warmth to the body when the temperature drops. It is also resistant and sturdy and guarantees an excellent fit: even underneath other garments, it still leaves a good freedom of movement. The cut is sober and minimal, very refined. An appreciated technical aspect is the structure of the cuff, enveloping and long, which offers protection in a part of the body that is often very exposed, this feature allows the sleeve to perfectly cover the wrist and not to tighten too much. In addition, the elastic part fits well to be worn under gloves. Once stored in the backpack it can be well compressed and therefore taking up minimal space. WE LIKE A versatile garment, which allows ample freedom of movement, made of natural and precious fabrics.

The recycled polyester and elastane blend fabric offers good flexibility, and the recycled nylon and recycled elastane mix inserts provide extra abrasion protection. PFC-free DWR treatment which makes this garment water repellent and ensures a long duration without containing perfluorocarbons, it also repels moisture and keeps the skin dry. The pre-formed structure allows you to feel at ease even during long hours of approach and avoids feelings of discomfort under the harness. The low waist, with zip and integrated adjustable belt, allows for a precise fit and does not interfere with the harness or the waist belt of the backpack. The front pockets are very practical as well as the right back pocket with breathable mesh lining and flat structure and the practical security pocket with zip positioned on the right thigh, above the knee and below the leg loops. Reinforcement inserts protect the inside of the leg from abrasion and wear. The bottom of the leg is adjustable with stopper and drawstring. WE LIKE Attention to sustainability and to the environment: a PFC-free garment, with Fair Trade Certified seams and recycled fabrics.

REDELK OUTDOOR: ADVANCED COMFORT APPAREL FOR HIKERS Young Italian brand of outdoor clothing, a guarantee of comfort that accompanies walkers outdoors in order to fully enjoy the moment of leisure in contact with nature. Today's society takes daily rhythms to the extreme, weeks marked by hectic days made of calls, governed by our busy schedules. Many of us are forced to spend our working days indoors, always concentrated in front of PC screens, bound by deadlines. If you have this Guide in your hands, you know that in addition to this hectic life there is an outdoor world waiting to be explored and you also know how important and rewarding it is to take your time and cultivate our common passion for nature. For Redelk, experiencing nature means detaching from this hectic world and freeing yourself from the stress of performance at all costs, in order to live a special moment, regenerating yourself by walking.

Who is the walker according to Redelk? Surely a person who loves being outdoors is respectful of the environment and usually dresses comfortable during adventures that range from a trek in the mountains with friends to a walk in a remote village, or to a more technical

physical activity such as nordic walking. The walker is a person who pays attention to details, with a great desire to get lost among the beauties that only nature has in store. Redelk creates each new collection with the aim of guaranteeing special moments to those who wear its products, focusing on comfort. The collection is therefore designed and realized while maintaining a focus on pants in every season, a key garment to tackle every route and the heart of Redelk collections. The strength lies in the impeccable fit combined with the choice of fabrics, soft and with technical features able to satisfy the most demanding people. The weights and structures of the pants are carefully defined to offer the correct product for every walk, from an every-

day walk to the most demanding hike in the mountains. The brand took into consideration all the feedback received from customers, the tests carried out with Mountain and environmental Guides, combining them with thirty years of experience in the production of sportswear, all of this made possible the continuous improvement of the offer and the growth of the young Italian brand in the market which made its way in the outdoor world dominated by international giants. The red moose symbolizes and reflects the character of the brand, strength, courage and perseverance that guide the company to improve products and services for customers every day.

THRUDARK Founded in 2018, ThruDark was born out of the constant requirement for the best outdoor clothing, technical outerwear, accessories and equipment. The brand name represents the endurance through difficult situations experienced not only by co-founders Staz and Louis, but to all those who encounter hardship in their own lives. It is the foundation of the ThruDark ethos of “Endeavour through Adversity”. Born in Bolton, Lancashire, ThruDark Co-founder Anthony “Staz” Stazicker was a skilled footballer from a young age, however due to injury his future in the sport was cut short, leading him to a decorated career in the military. The longest basic training programme for any Commonwealth or NATO solider, Staz passed selection with the Royal Marines and in doing so was awarded the coveted King’s Badge (Top Recruit) and Physical Training Medal.

It was in the Royal Marines where Staz met fellow ThruDark Co-founder Louis Tinsley whilst completing a mountain training exercise. After a relatively short few years both would progress into the United Kingdom’s Special Forces. An elite military force conducting high risk operations, 8 of Louis’ and 10 of Staz’s years of military service would be spent with the UK Special Boat Service (SBS). The pair’s time serving their country led to the kind of brotherhood that can only be found in the military, an unbreakable bond beyond that of a family member. Therefore, after 10 years and many tours together, the duo knew their military careers were coming to an end and began thinking about creating something that was their own. "As UK Special Forces operators, we were equipped with the highest specification kit and clothing for the operation at hand. That said, we were always critical of the way it performed.” Louis Decades of combined special forces’ experience in the world’s most hostile environments enabled the pair to critique existing performance wear and

quickly start developing ThruDark products to the highest specification possible. “Our products are manufactured to the highest standards using a diverse range of world-leading fabrics that are continually tested and developed by ourselves and our close network of Operators around the globe.” Staz All ThruDark apparel is created with the wearer in mind. Jackets are wind or water-resistant, lightweight, and quick drying. Trousers have multi-functional pockets and thermal underlayers have a four-way stretch for maximum comfort. Through Staz, Louis and an international team of the world’s elite athletes each and every product is tested to the limits to ensure it meets end-user demands. To this day, both Staz and Louis remain actively involved in all operations & expeditions for the business. Their extensive military experience paired with business acumen making ThruDark the business it is today. In the words of the pair: “We didn't come to take part, we came to take over.”

The enveloping fit is ideal for the needs of mountaineers, ensuring ample freedom of movement but at the same time protecting every part of the body from the elements. The elbows are preformed to ensure maximum resistance to abrasion. The hood is designed to be worn also with a helmet and is equipped with a practical elastic cord to allow you to customize the adjustment ac-

cording to the needs related to the climatic conditions. The jacket did not slip out of the harness, even when trying to reach a hold. The large, higher front pockets offer ample space for gloves and a map, and are easily accessible even when wearing a harness and backpack. This technical hardshell jacket is also an ecological choice: its textile materials, in fact, are bluesign certified, a strict standard for environmental protection. For the production of the membranes, recycled and biobased materials were used: a garment without fluorocarbons, nor chemicals harmful to the environment.

BACKPACKS The backpack is the “tool” symbol of the hiker and is of fundamental importance. Like footwear, it must be chosen with care, first of all thinking about its main use. The rule? The more days you will be on trails, the greater the load you will have to carry. The volume, expressed in liters, will therefore be the first selection criterion. Load capacity 15-25L = fast hiking or light backpacking backpacks for day trips. True examples of lightweight, these backpacks are designed for sports activities, without too many frills, eliminating unnecessary grams and accessories. The clean design, limited in the use of external pockets, laces or straps, favors free and dynamic movements. Small in size, they are ideal for transporting those few things that have to accompany you during a trip of a few hours. 35-45L = backpacks for longer day trips, suitable for containing the material necessary for a possible overnight stay in a refuge. This type of backpack focuses on comfort, in terms of support, weight distribution and ergonomics, and on functionality, understood as organization of space and handling. This size is generally the most common

choice for those who want a standard all-rounder size. 50-70L = backpacks for multi-day excursions, outdoor bivouacs or real luggage for “backpacking” adventure trips. Backrest, shoulder straps and waistband must be structured, padded and ergonomic, suitable for unloading the weight on the hips and stabilizing the load. External hooks (straps, buckles, clips) are essential to easily transport accessories and equipment. More and more often in this segment we find expandable solutions that increase the load capacity when necessary.

to the anatomical shape of the body, especially the female one. The lumbar belt must be well padded and adjustable. The entire system must promote perspiration and be able to discharge the weight from the shoulders to the hips. When buying a backpack, consider how easy it is to load it and how to access the content. Some backpacks have, in addition to the opening on the top, additional front or side zips that become very comfortable for quick access to the interior spaces, even on the move. The number of pockets, their positioning, the presence of separate internal compartments improves the organizational possibilities of the spaces. Everything you need, where you need it. If you plan to expand its use for winter hiking, consider the presence of external laces and straps designed for fast attachment of snowshoes.

Attention to details Focus on the transportation system first. It is essential to have a ventilated backrest, more or less rigid, which guarantees effective ventilation and mobility. The shoulder straps must be calibrated and shaped according

A tip Load your things with care. Weight distribution must be balanced, heavier items should be close to the back and, if possible, at the bottom of the backpack. Keep essential items handy.

BASE CAMP When choosing your camping equipment you have to be careful: although there are particularly attractive low cost solutions, a thoughtful expense will allow you to avoid nasty surprises, never desirable during an adventure, especially if faced alone. Each situation requires adequate equipment, even if the most important aspect is often the lightweight and compactness of the equipment. Tents When choosing a tent, the first question that will guide the purchase will concern the type of use: there are ultra-resistant expedition products to face extreme conditions, compact, ultralight and quick to set up tents designed to be the shelter of those who undertake journeys on foot or by bicycle, 4-season tents that adopt thermal insulation solutions for the colder months, family tents designed for permanent camping with a large front apse. The second evaluation will concern the number of people it has to host. According to the model, the external and internal dimensions must be well calibrated according to the equipment to be stowed, in order to ensure room for moving comfortably even in a limited space. External or internal poles? Aluminum or fiberglass? The external poles generally allow a quicker set up as the top and bottom layers are

already pre-connected, having less chance of getting wet in case of rain. The aluminum alloy poles is a more recent and performing solution in terms of resistance and elasticity, compared to a higher cost, it offers a considerable saving in terms of weight. Double sheet or single sheet? Double-sheet tents consist of a waterproof and water-repellent outer fabric and an internal chamber that acts as a mosquito net. The double sheet has the considerable advantage of separating and preventing contact with the overlay which will inevitably produce condensation. The monolayers are generally recommended for expeditions thanks to highly performing waterproof membranes.

Sleeping bags To understand which sleeping bag will be right for your adventures you will have to consider

these 3 main aspects: the temperature of use, the shape, the type of insulation. The first classification indicates the lowest comfort temperature that the bag is able to withstand, and is useful for making a first comparison between the various models. The categories often vary by season: summer (from 0°C upwards), 3 seasons (from -15°C down to -1°C), winter (below -15°C). Sleeping bags come in different shapes, usually rectangular or mummy type. In rectangular sleeping bags the square shape offers space and convenience. They are cheaper but bulkier to pack and less thermally efficient. Mummy sleeping bags, with integrated hood, maximize their warmth. They have a tight fit and higher costs, but can be very light and compact, ideal for a three seasons use and in winter. Insulation, on the other hand, can be of two types: down or synthetic. Down is light, voluminous but very compressible, more expensive and more performing, but it loses heat when wet. It stays soft longer but requires careful and specialized washing. The synthetic one is less compressible but cheaper, it retains heat even when wet, it is easy to clean, and is able to achieve topof-the-range thermal insulation performance.

EQUIPMENT The technical equipment that accompanies us in the mountains can be our most important ally. From trail running to climbing, from trekking to hiking, the list of specific accessories gets longer year after year. Sometimes these are essential items for achieving performance or goals (such as poles or GPS smartwatches), often are essential to save our lives, to ensure our safety and to help us in critical situations (such as helmets, crampons, harnesses or satellite devices). Precisely because the equipment is so crucial, it is essential to take care of it, keeping it clean, in good condition and ensuring its efficiency before use. If you are choosing your climbing equipment, here are some tips. Rope First of all, you must remember that the only suitable and certified ropes for belaying are the dynamic ones, which in Europe must comply with the EN 892 standard. Single ropes have a diameter between 8.5mm and 11mm, and depending on this they will be more suitable for different situations, affecting durability and handling. The advantages of a single rope are its resistance and the relative ease of use by the belayer, they are used for sport climbing, large walls, crags and indoor structures. The

thinner half ropes have a diameter between 8 and 9mm and are certified to always be used in pairs with another rope. They are ideal for mountaineering, multi-pitch and classic routes. Twin ropes are the thinnest of the three types: their diameter is between 7 and 8mm. They can be recognized by the infinity symbol and must always be used in pairs. Unlike half ropes, they cannot be used by a three-person team and must be returned together at all anchor points. Their sum guarantees greater resistance to falls than single ropes.

Harness The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a harness is that various disciplines need different products. Sport climbers need a harness that is lightweight and breathable, comfortable both while climbing and in the moments of rest between one route and the other. If you spend a lot of time hanging on a wall, it is better to choose a harness with a high belt on the back, in order to not hurt your hips. On the other hand, those who plan to stay on the wall for a long time, such as trad climbers and those who face longer routes, need a comfortable and well-padded harness (as well as functional) with rings capable of carrying as much equipment as possible. If you plan to use your harness in all seasons and in all activities we recommend an adjustable leg harness, so you can wear heavy trousers by simply widening the buckle (the right size of the leg harness is the one where you can pass a hand between the harness and the leg).

The white LED has three functions while the two red LEDs have two functions. The power button is intuitive and allows you to change the intensity of the light, which has three possible alternatives: 400 lumens is the strongest, 200 lumens the intermediate, 50 lumens the lowest. The light beam varies between about 80 meters to 20 meters, according to the different intensities, and can be directed directly from the lamp holder, choosing whether you prefer to rotate it downwards or upwards. The ability to activate a flashing or steady red light is useful for signaling your presence to

those arriving from behind. This headlamp fits well, also thanks to the plastic inserts, which are made of rubber on the band. The power supply is hybrid, which means that you can choose to use the rechargeable battery, or 3 x AAA batteries. The battery can be connected to the plug located in the rear elastic, alternatively, using the fabric cable, you can insert the battery itself or an extra spare battery in a jacket pocket, guaranteeing, in case of low temperatures, of increase its duration. The more you use the stronger light intensity, the less the battery lasts. The colder the temperature, the less the battery lasts. The plugs can be quickly inserted even with gloves. When the front panel is turned off, the headlight lights up in green or red, offering a useful indication of the battery level.

URBAN EXPLORATION From Pennsylvania mines to Klondike gold miners, from Admiral Byrd’s Antarctic expeditions to Iditarod adventures, from the forests of the Pacific Northwest to the English countryside. To end up in our streets, in our offices, in our subways. Brands with a long tradition, with a strong heritage and global appeal, able, over time, to open their horizons to the world of fashion and first of all clear the concept of urban outdoor. Today, wearing outdoor clothing in urban contexts is a completely normalized trend. In recent years, even in the world of high fashion, the trend has spread in such a way that in the luxury collections there are contaminations of materials and technologies previously reserved for functional brands. Viceversa, historic brands focused solely on sports users, have begun to collaborate with fashion designers and streetwear brands, becoming adopted by the urban scene. Technical clothing has become avant-garde. Aesthetics and authenticity give the person who wears them a sense of exclusivity. But dressing with outdoor clothing also means telling your own taste and posi-

tion in the society through these garments. Beyond the fashion sector, therefore, the trend has spread into the cultural bubble. Wearing outdoor clothing has become a kind of statement. But the appropriation of technical clothing in the metropolitan context becomes more than just an aesthetic interest. Although it may seem alienating, the reasons are multiple and valid. One of the driving factors of this phenomenon is certainly the consumer’s attention to garments capable of combining performance and resistance. An extreme interest in the functional aspect and in the technology of

materials, related to the trend of a healthier lifestyle. To become livable, our cities must put people back at the center, focusing on increasingly sustainable mobility, focused on public transport, cycling and pedestrians. All this cannot happen without a radical change in clothing standards, even in the workplace. That’s why fashion can actually influence lifestyle, helping to make it more active and compatible with soft mobility. Finally, the new generations, who are proving to be more sensitive day by day to issues relating to climate change and the environment. Millennials are increasingly seeking contact with nature, practicing activities such as trekking and climbing, mixing them, in terms of style, with a more everyday mood. They feel the need to be outdoors more, finding motivation and inspiration. Wearing these clothes becomes a kind of manifesto of their ideals. It is a stylistic choice driven by a new spiritual awareness towards nature and the special need to escape from the city, while staying in the city.

FABRIC 100% recycled polyester

SAVE THE DUCK D37120M RECY BRAD JACKET Lightweight, elegant and sustainable down jacket. Waterproof and ideal to use even when it’s raining. Made of recycled polyester, it is an environmentally friendly and sustainable garment. It has a sober, minimal and elegant design, features that make it perfect for an urban use or when traveling. The snug and comfortable fit ensures a feeling of comfort even after several hours. The hood, once worn, even downhill, is comfortable, stable and allows a good side view. There are three functional “hidden” zip pockets, two on the sides and one on the chest and a Save The Duck logo patch on the sleeve. The recycled fabric is resistant and sturdy and gives an excellent fit: even when worn on other garments it still leaves good freedom of movement. The

materials used ensure good breathability even when the garment is used during sport activities. A full central zip up to the hood allows you to put on the jacket quickly and to close it up to the chin in case of need. A technical aspect that we appreciated is the structure of the cuff, which has a well-fitting closure: this feature allows the sleeve, even when fully stretching the arms, to cover the wrist and not tighten too much, moreover, the elastic part fits well to be worn under gloves. Both uphill and downhill it allows good freedom of movement, proving to be a very interesting garment. WE LIKE The attention to sustainability and the choice of materials, the minimal, sober and elegant design, the “hidden” zip pockets.
