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 delivers optimal thermal performance and moisture management while enhancing temperature regulation. This 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 show 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 with minimal seams, ensuring a comfortable fit against the skin without rubbing. It has a close-fitting, sporty cut, is super soft, and offers four-way stretch thanks to elastic yarns wrapped with nylon (Corespun process). Merino wool is naturally odour-resistant, allowing you to wear the tight longer and wash it less frequently, saving time, water, and energy. This lightweight tight with body mapping construction is inspired by Monte Zebrù, a mountain in the Ortles Alps. Made in Italy, it provides stretch comfort and enhances thermal regulation.
