Salewa Warming Zebru Responsive Tight

A high-performance thermoreactive men's tight made with merino wool and stretch content, ideal as a baselayer for alpine mountaineering, ski mountaineering, speed hiking, or alpine trekking. It provides optimal thermal regulation, helping you maintain body temperature and preventing cooling in colder weather. The Zebru Responsive Tight offers warmth and freedom of movement. It is breathable, dries quickly, and takes up little space, making it the perfect solution for your layering system.

The main component of the material is superfine merino wool (83%), which ensures optimal thermal performance and moisture management while improving temperature regulation. The blend of merino wool and polyfibres is combined with special Responsive polyamide yarns, creating a matrix of natural thermoreactive minerals. Responsive absorbs the body's Far Infrared Radiation (FIR) and gradually releases it back into the muscle tissue. Tests have shown that subjects wearing Responsive experienced greater blood flow, higher cellular performance, and better oxygenation, leading to improved performance, faster recovery, and longer warmth retention.

The tight features body mapping construction, made using an innovative circular knitting process that minimizes seams for comfort against the skin. It has a close-fitting, sporty cut, is super soft, and includes elastic yarns wrapped with nylon (Corespun process) for four-way stretch. Merino wool is naturally odour-resistant, allowing you to wear the tight longer and wash it less often, saving time, water, and energy. This lightweight tight, inspired by Monte Zebrù in the Ortles Alps, is made in Italy and offers stretch comfort while enhancing thermal regulation.
