LOOPINSULATION

Next-level insulation with lower impact – transforming rope offcuts and recycled materials into cutting-edge cold weather protection.

Warm even in wet and humid conditions, crafted from repurposed materials, and easy to care for, Mammut LOOPINSULATION marks the next step in our journey toward creating more circular products. Made by transforming industrial rope production offcuts and recycled plastics into next-level insulation, our jackets are ready for quick day hikes and multi-day tours alike.


Process

  • Collecting rope offcuts

    Polyester-based rope offcuts from industrial rope production are gathered – materials that would otherwise be discarded.

  • Transforming materials

    These offcuts are then untangled into single strands which are brushed together and combined with recycled plastic.

  • Creating insulation

    The end result is fluffy polyester sheet padding and cluster fill, which creates warming insulation for our jackets.

How the technology works

At Mammut, we're always exploring more sustainable and resourceful practices. When we tested reused rope for insulation, we found that while climbing ropes made from polyamide weren't effective, rope production offcuts made from polyester had fantastic insulating properties – and from this, we developed Mammut LOOPINSULATION.

Industrial rope offcuts undergo a mechanical recycling process. Thanks to low melting fibers, these ropes are untwisted into single rope strands, which are then brushed together and combined with recycled plastic to create polyester sheets or clusters – using no extra chemicals.

These polyester sheets or fiber balls are placed with great care inside our jackets to form synthetic insulation sheet padding for warmth and protection against wind and moisture. The result is next-level insulation with a lower environmental impact.
