Anyone ever heard of Salewa gear?

- Start date
I have a couple of pairs of their fleece hiking bottoms/trousers. One pair for about 10 years and they are as good as new even though by rights they should be worn out by now.
They were expensive but they have both lasted so returned good value for sure.

Re: Re:
German i think.
They have been going for quite a while and have been making climbing equipment for many years, they wouldnt have lasted if they didnt make reliable equipment. I have worked for a few outdoor companies who use their helmets and other equipment for climbing courses. Think i have some old helmets in a bag somewhere, solid and built to last.

I want your body. Warmer.
Yes. Big originally German (Munich, bought in 1990 by Oberalp who were based in Italy) company which manufactured everything from climbing hardware (carabiners, crampons, ice axes) to soft goods, clothing, tents, sleeping bags rucsacs etc. Predominantly marketed in European countries. Some the hardware made it over here, particularly crampons which were sold under the Chouinard brand (pre cursor to Black Diamond). Good kit all in all.
