Essentialists Choose Less.
It's about an attitude that creates clarity and eliminates the unnecessary. Fewer pieces. More possibilities. Skinfit represents a new minimalism in sports: versatile essentials that can be combined across various sports. One garment, many uses – from trail running to Ski Mountaineering. For everyone who wants to achieve more with less. Reduced to what matters: maximum function, minimal weight.
Fewer pieces, more possibilities. Essentialists focus on functional essentials that can be flexibly combined – for sports that know no limits.
In the mountains, it's not just what you wear that matters – it's how you combine it. The so-called layering principle (Layering System) helps you adapt flexibly to changing temperatures and weather conditions. Even in July or August, it can get quite chilly at altitudes above 1,500 meters – especially in the morning, in the shade, or when it's windy. The first layer should be a breathable base layer like the climate Pro T-shirt. It efficiently wicks moisture away from the body, dries quickly, and remains pleasantly lightweight – ideal for strenuous climbs in the sun. As a second layer, we recommend a mid-layer like the Mendrisio Shirt. This long-sleeved shirt protects you from cool winds without adding bulk and is easy to put on and take off. At the very top of your pack should be an ultralight wind or rain jacket. Models like the Faludriga Wind Jacket or the Vermunt Rain Jacket offer reliable protection in case of a sudden change in the weather. Thanks to its small pack size and low weight, this third layer is barely noticeable in your luggage – but it's worth its weight in gold when you need it most.
Men's Essentials
For essentialists, it's not about quantity, but function. Versatile essentials replace unnecessary equipment and can be combined across various sports – from mountain tours to trail runs.
Elasticity is important because sports underwear has been proven to function optimally only when it fits snugly against the body. Thanks to its knit structure, KLIMA Pro is highly elastic and hugs your body like a second skin. Antibacterial properties are particularly beneficial for Base Layer. With KLIMA Pro, the bacteriostatic effect results from the fiber properties. Polypropylene doesn't absorb moisture; instead, it wicks it away quickly. This gives odor-causing bacteria no chance, as germs need moisture to form and multiply. In this respect, KLIMA Pro is advantageous compared to materials whose antibacterial effect is only achieved through chemical treatment. The reason: chemicals wash out sooner or later, while the fiber properties are permanent, meaning the odor-neutralizing effect lasts. Furthermore, you can wash KLIMA Pro at 95°C, which effectively removes any remaining bacteria.
With KLIMA Pro, you can rely on its skin-friendliness because the material requires no chemical treatment. Unlike many natural fibers, polypropylene doesn't need any chemical finishing to function effectively. Furthermore, KLIMA Pro is skin-friendly because the yarn is dyed during the spinning process. This results in a better-integrated color than if it were applied superficially later. Against this backdrop, the argument for natural fibers and against synthetic materials should always be critically examined: Is wool, whose scales are chemically treated to prevent itching, truly "more natural"? As the lightest fiber material, polypropylene is particularly suitable for functional clothing that you don't want to feel. KLIMA Pro doesn't gain weight even with heavy perspiration, whereas the weight changes when, for example, merino wool absorbs up to 30% moisture.
