Mountain outerwear for peak performance

Call them climbers, mountaineers or ski bums. Today's mountain men and mountain women have one driving passion ' to stay outdoors and have fun. That's why so many of professionals and top-rank amateurs turn to Kühl when looking for mountain outerwear. Be it a shirts, pants, mountain sweater, or other mountain outerwear, Kühl creates adventure clothing dedicated to meeting the challenges of the great outdoors.

Located in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, home of the finest powder snow in the world, Kühl is more than a clothing company ' it's a life philosophy. The people at Kühl are passionate about designing and manufacturing clothes that are comfortable and relaxed, yet sturdy enough to withstand mountain and winter sports environments.

When it comes to mountain outerwear especially, Kühl excels in creating clothing to enhance any kind of performance. Its mountain sweaters are made of merino wool, the softest wool available. Kühl developed Maxwoolschmart' a merino wool fabric that keeps the body temperate, extending the time before the wearer breaks a sweat. As any mountain sports enthusiast can tell you, a fabric's ability to keep its wearer warm without sweating, thereby losing precious water and exposing the wearer to hypothermia, often determines how long an athlete can spend on the mountain.

Among its top-of-the-line accomplishments is Kühl's mountain outerwear. A favorite among these options are the Alpenwurx pieces that come in a jacket and a vest, both in classic styles with a vintage air about them. Alpenwurx mountain outerwear is made with 300-weight, double-dyed fleece bearing sueded micro fiber patches on shoulders and elbows to heighten durability while giving a vintage appearance. The jacket and vest are made with Swiss-made Riri zippers, known for their precisions, longevity and quality. The upper left chest pocket and the front hand pockets all carry Riri zippers. Jacket and vest collars are lined with Berber fleece, add warmth and comfort.

Kühl's mountain outerwear also features a Retro Hoody that's made of wind-and-water-resistant soft shell bonded to micro fleece. Its two-zipper system provides great versatility: expanded for layering or a relaxed fit, or contracted for a more fitted, warmer style. Gussets under the arms add mobility, while pockets on the upper left sleeve, left chest and two front hand pockets provide plenty of storage. The hood and hem adjust to fit as loosely or tightly as the wearer prefers. Plus the Retro Hoody features Kühl's trademark thumb loop design to keep out the cold.

For the most rugged of mountain sweaters, nothing beats Kühl's Thor. This mountain outerwear features a combination of wool and micro fleece that can stand up to anything the mountain can throw at you. Thor comes in quarter-zip and full-zip styles, both with precision Riri zippers, underarm gussets, stash pockets and Kühl's trademarked thumb loop system that helps to keep cold at bay. Thor with his thunder and lightning bolts couldn't be more intimidating to competitors on the ski trails than this sweater.

Many customers looking for mountain outerwear also are looking for a company with a conscience, and Kühl excels here as well. The company takes every opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint, making its clothing from organic, sustainable materials and using natural vegetable dyes for color. Committed to reduce, reuse and recycle, Kühl's clothing signifies both a spirit of adventure and a spirit of caring for the planet.
