What makes us at Skinfit special is our consistent system-based and multisport approach. Clothing is designed not just for individual sports, but based on functions such as climate management, breathability, wind protection, insulation, and weather protection. As a result, a small number of pieces can be combined across different sports and seasons.

One system instead of many separate outfits

Many athletes run, cycle, head into the mountains, and go ski touring in the winter. Building an entirely separate wardrobe for every activity leads to many items that are rarely used.

This is why we develop products that transcend individual sports. A base layer, a wind vest, or an insulation jacket can fulfill the same function across multiple activities.

The five layering system modules

Base Layer stands for functional underwear and close-to-body climate management. Mid Layer encompasses breathable, flexible, and versatile base and mid-layers. Top Layer offers lightweight wind protection. Insulation Layer provides insulation and warmth. Top Layer protects against wind and weather.

These modules are not a rigid sequence for dressing. Depending on the intensity and conditions, individual functions can be omitted or added.

Four questions lead to the combination

What sport am I doing? How intense is my activity? What is the temperature? What weather is expected? These four factors determine your outfit more effectively than a generic product recommendation.

This makes advice more concrete: a fast ski tourer in mild weather needs a different combination than a leisurely winter hiker in the same outdoor temperature.

Development in Vorarlberg

A large portion of the conceptualization, prototyping, design, and testing takes place in Koblach. The alpine environment allows for short distances between development and real-world application.

We combine this regional development approach with international manufacturing and availability.

Our goal: understandable functions instead of complicated product worlds

We don’t want customers to have to start from scratch for every new sport. Anyone who is already familiar with a base layer, mid-layer, or top layer should be able to understand its function in another application as well.

This is why our layering system serves as both a product structure and a consultation aid. It shows where a garment is worn, what role it plays, and which existing layers it can be combined with.

Conclusion

We distinguish ourselves primarily through a modular multisport system. The focus is not on having as many specialized products as possible, but on sensible combinations for different levels of exertion and conditions.
