When you wear CIMALP outdoor clothing, you share our sense of environmental responsibility.

We actively campaign against programmed obsolescence, designing and manufacturing mountain kit that’s made to last. We offer a repairs service too, so that your favourite outdoor gear lasts longer.

Our clothes are PFC Free (including waterproofing treatments and membranes) and meet the Oeko-Tex 100 standard: we avoid using products that are harmful to the environment.

The fabrics we produce are labelled Bluesign®, assuring you of eco-friendly manufacture at every stage, from the fibres and dyes we select, through to the finished products. Reducing our environmental footprint is a real priority, and we run a waste recycling programme that embodies this.

Technical innovation is at the heart of the CIMALP brand: we hold numerous patents for the design of highly advanced, sustainable products. The comfort and performance of these is legendary amongst mountain athletes, and can be relied on in the great outdoors.
