Fast hiking |
driving force of innovation

To meet the needs of our mountain purists, we wanted sporty and athletic products that were functional, clever, innovative and sustainable.
That's all?
No, always lighter too!
So that you can practice without any constraints.
We went directly to the essentials.
No gimmicky or superfluous functions.
An elegant, clean, contemporary design while remaining sporty and dynamic.
Finishings worked to the smallest detail.
And product tests that are always more demanding and precise with passionate"fast" hikers.

Listen to the slightest criticism, to improve, test after test.
Co-create and be closer to your needs.
And test again, and again.

These steps are done in field, but also through our SPORTSLAB laboratories.
This is our laboratory dedicated to research and development on athletes bodies.
In fact, it is not one but 4 laboratories: a thermal comfort laboratory, a science of movements laboratory, a morphology laboratory and a sensory and behavioural sciences laboratory.
All are equipped with measurement and analysis tools to explore the functioning and needs of the body in each environment.
On a daily basis, around fifty engineers carry out studies on the moving body to understand how it works, and identify better the needs based on the sport.

When you talk hiking, you talk footwear!
If our hiker appreciates signposted trails, he/she also knows how to avoid them. 
Trace your route (while respecting your environment).
You cannot venture onto the ridge of a mountain without suitable footwear. 
Essential for safety.
The FH900 shoe, for example, combines ultra-lightness to facilitate movements 
(740 g for a pair of men's shoes in size 42), a quick and precise tightening system, good support, an anti-intrusion gaiter but also robust for "grip" to the ground, and flexibility to offer a natural foot movement.
Are you a fan of fast descents in the stones? 
Footwear with stone guards are there to protect your toes!

What does the ideal hiking jacket look like? It must be able to protect you from a small surprise downpour, compress easily into the bottom of your backpack so that you can easily take it out when needed, and leave you free to move around.

We designed our FH500 and FH900 rain jackets to meet all of these criteria.
An adjusted, comfortable fit that keeps you comfortable without sacrificing its style.
New tech components, with 2.5 layer membrane, to remain ultra light and guarantee protection up to 10,000 Schmerber.
Sleeves and bottom of the jacket with tightening system, a hood that encompasses the face well to limit wind resistance. We also thought about adding a visor, to protect you perfectly from rain, and a small pocket for easy access to essentials.
The finishings are always taken care of, because each detail counts.

We almost want it to rain, no?
