Jack Wolfskin Outdoor Apparel and Equipment

Jack Wolfskin is a premier German outdoor brand founded in 1981 in Frankfurt am Main by Ulrich Dausien. The brand rose to prominence by specializing in functional and high-quality outdoor gear, including its signature 3-in-1 jackets and Texapore weather protection technology. Over the decades, it has become synonymous with the 'at home outdoors' philosophy, catering to hikers, trekkers, and everyday urban explorers.

While the brand maintains its design and engineering roots in Idstein, Germany, its manufacturing is distributed globally to ensure high technical standards. Key production locations include facilities in Asia (such as Vietnam, China, and Cambodia) and Europe. In 2019, the brand underwent a significant ownership change when it was acquired by the American golf giant Callaway Golf Company (now Topgolf Callaway Brands). This acquisition integrated Jack Wolfskin into a global portfolio of active lifestyle brands, providing a strong financial backbone for international expansion while retaining the brand’s distinct European identity.
