WINTER 2023 – JACK WOLFSKIN ADVANCES THE WINTER 2023/24 OUTDOOR TECHNICAL AND OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE COLLECTIONS

The brand’s Winter 2023/24 Outdoor Technical and Outdoor Lifestyle collections are a step forward in functionality and sustainability with multiple new designs that enable consumers to head outside in any weather and stay warm, dry and comfortable.

Sustainably derived materials and responsible manufacturing processes continue to take precedence in Jack Wolfkskin’s Winter 2023/24 collection. Recycled materials are used in 82 % of all apparel products and 79 % of products in the equipment sector. To further its advancements in sustainability and innovation, Jack Wolfskin collaborated with textile pioneers such as Schoeller, PrimaLoft® and Pertex® on apparel and extended partnerships in its equipment business with plastics engineering specialist OECHSLER and US-based 3D printing innovator Carbon.

Jack Wolfskin continues to work on its own technologies and material developments with the release of Texatherm Pro, a new, sustainable insulation material. The synthetic insulation feels like down with a comparable warmth-toweight ratio. It is made with 100% recycled polyester from post-consumer waste. The technical synthetic fiber fill increases airflow and breathability to reduce overheating.

In 2023 Jack Wolfskin implemented a new dyeing technology called NTX Cooltrans that is expanded in the Winter 2023/24 apparel collections. The technology is based on a transfer printing process in which color is transferred from a medium (paper or film, which is recyclable) directly to the textile. As a result, much less water, energy and chemicals are used.

Furthermore, all down used by Jack Wolfskin is certified according to RDS (Responsible Down Standard). For all RDS certified products, a complete certification of the entire down supply chain is guaranteed. The RDS takes a holistic view of animal welfare from the time the birds hatch from the egg to the time they are slaughtered. Among the criteria tested are the ban on live plucking and the ban on stuffing.

All new products are engineered in Germany with meticulous attention to design and performance and are proven in the wild by Jack Wolfskin’s Discovery Team of professionals and enthusiasts.

Skitouring
Jack Wolfskin expands its Alpspitze Series of pioneering apparel and packs specifically designed for ski touring with the ISPO award winning Alpspitze Air 3L Jkt and Alpspitze Air Pants with a hybrid, removable bib top. Expert knowledge and new ideas from an external agency (Jonathan & Fletcher) as well as competence and experience from internal employees and passionate ski tourers have been incorporated into the development and implemented with great attention to detail. The kit is built with Pertex® Shield Air fabric made with air permeable nanofibers to provide extremely breathable waterproof protection with minimal weight.

Bikepacking
Designed for performance-oriented enthusiasts who continue to venture outside no matter the weather, the new collection features warmer pieces in reduced weights with Texapore Ecosphere, Pertex and Polartec fabrics and PrimaLoft insulations. Every product is detailed with extra cuts and features specific to riding to ensure all day comfort on the saddle. The new Morobbia Alpha products are a functional mix of light, extremely tear-resistant Pertex® Quantum Air and active Polartec® Alpha® insulation – twice as breathable and 60 % faster drying than typical insulation materials. This functional material is warm, regulates moisture and is wind- and water-repellent, elastic and robust.

Hiking
Premium, highest- performing fabrics including waterproof, breathable Texapore Pro, Allied Feather + Down, HyperDRY down and PrimaLoft Black Rise recycled insulation highlight the new collection. The collection is headlined by the Cyrox 2L Down Jacket with paperweight stretch fabrics and 700 cu in grey duck down. The Texapore Ecosphere Material is made from recycled/ reused materials (components) and the membrane is made from cuttings generated during production and returned to the production cycle - a zero-waste concept.

The new women’s Tapeless 2.0 Jacket is made with an exclusive and innovative seam sealing technique called Zero Tape technology that saves 20 meters of tape per jacket and produces particularly waterproof seams.

Trekking
The Trekking Collection is a showcase of collaboration between two industry leaders. Jack Wolfskin pairs its Texapore Ecosphere waterproof breathable membrane made with recycled content with Schoeller’s industry-leading 2- and 3-layer textiles to offer exclusive fabrics that work better in a wider range of outdoor conditions. The successful cooperation will be continued and expanded this season.

Bike Commuting
Designed for urban discovery on two wheels, the bike commuting collection provides complete weather protection in modern styles made with the most advanced sustainable materials. The Bike Commute Mono Jacket stands out for its aesthetic but most importantly for its mono material construction. The main fabric is made from textile waste and when the zippers and reflective elements are removed, the entire jacket can be recycled.

Wanderlust
With the new Wanderlust collection, Jack Wolfskin opens a new chapter and gives outdoor clothing a striking modern and functional impulse. Inspired by the trendy, fashionable influences, the smart collection manages to close the gap between lifestyle products and highly technical sportoriented products. The result is a unique and outstanding collection that combines new looks with performance materials and technical features.
