The SALEWA SS24 Trekking collection was created using proprietary Alpine Hemp fabrics. The apparel styles combine natural fibres, such as hemp or merino wool, with synthetic materials to provide unique, natural-feeling comfort next to skin.
The new Progressive Trekking Collection from Salewa is based on three main pillars:
* Nature tech – nature tech means using natural and sustainable fibres in combination with technical materials
* Experience shaped – the collection offers innovative, user-based solutions for maximum usability and easy handling
* Future proof – future-proof designs with outstanding details and long-lasting durability.
Available in men’s and women’s sizes, the Puez hemp/durastretch 2/1 Hybrid Jacket and Puez hemp/durastretch 2/1 Hybrid Pant make a versatile Alpine Hemp outfit for trekking adventures,’ built to ensure functionality and adaptability in wild, natural environments and urban scenarios.’
The progressive design is based on the Alpine Hemp/Sorona® blend main material made from technical and natural fabrics. The Alpine Hemp main fabric is made with a blend of hemp fibres and offers natural performance with exceptional strength and high breathability combined with a unique texture.
The hybrid woven construction blends hemp with biobased Sorona® responsible biopolymer fibres made from corn starch for long-lasting enhanced softness and thermoregulating comfort while Durastretch panels provide additional abrasion resistance and freedom of movement.

The Puez Knit Mid Powertex hiking boot is the first hiking boot with Salewa Alpine Hemp, designed to provide a smooth roll-off and long-lasting comfort for short and extensive mountain hikes on rugged trails and varied terrain. It has an abrasion-resistant knitted nylon and ripstop polyester mid-cut upper reinforced with an external toe cap and all-round protective rubber rand with a PFC-free waterproof and breathable Powertex® membrane.
It has a dedicated trekking last, dual EVA midsoles with graded stiffness and softer heel cushioning for optimised landing. The Puez Knit Mid Powertex has a Pomoca™ Alpine Trekker outsole for grip and traction in technical terrain. At the heart of its construction, built into the insole, is the new Salewa Edging Plate II, a special thermoplastic frame that runs the entire length of the boot, offering a combination of enhanced flex and rebound for long-lasting hiking comfort with specific levels of stiffness and flex for increased stability.
Designed according to a circular approach to manufacturing, the forefoot midsole uses recycled hemp fabric waste and virgin hemp and reduces the usage of virgin EVA, saving resources and offering a sustainable perspective without sacrifices on performance. The same concept is applied to the sustainable shoelaces on this model by combining hemp with recycled polyester.
All are Salewa Committed products, manufactured according to additionally strict and independently audited environmental and social responsibility standards.
