Salewa Ortles GORE-TEX Hardshell Jacket

Salewa is a premier technical outdoor brand with a rich history rooted in the Dolomites. The Ortles series represents their top-tier mountaineering gear, designed for extreme conditions. While the brand originated in Munich, Germany, in 1935, it was later acquired and is now steered by the Oberalp Group based in Bolzano, Italy. This transition solidified Salewa's positioning as a leading Italian mountain sports specialist.

Manufacturing for Salewa technical apparel takes place across several global locations to meet high-performance standards, primarily in Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, and China) and occasionally in Europe for specific limited lines. The ultimate ownership lies with the Oberalp Group, a family-owned management company that also controls other major outdoor brands like Dynafit and Wild Country, maintaining a focus on sustainable production and technical innovation.
