Mammut Eiger Extreme
Design Direction
2017
The fourth-generation Mammut Eiger Extreme collection sets new benchmarks in alpine performance, uniting cutting-edge technology with intuitive design to meet the demands of the world’s most challenging peaks. Developed in close collaboration with athletes—including through a dedicated user workshop—the collection was completely re-engineered for maximum functionality, lightweight performance, and precise alpine ergonomics. Technologies such as Vertical Motion Construction™ and High Reach Technology™ optimize movement in technical terrain, while the High Visibility Backer and Gaiter Solution™ were introduced and ensure safety and fit in extreme conditions.
At the heart of the concept is Eiger X—a design philosophy that fuses advanced engineering with the raw demands of nature. It blends equipment and athlete into one, with precisely angled finishes, clean execution, and visible functional details complemented by invisible, high-performance craftsmanship. The collection features a complete women’s line, integrated material innovations from Gore-Tex, Polartec, Pertex, and Dyneema, and refined elements such as high-value 3D reflective branding, consistent functional trims, and an iconic updated color palette with carefully chosen auxiliary tones.
