The Cristallo is our winter, short-sleeved baselayer designed for wicking warmth, next-to-skin comfort and natural anti-odour performance for active use. We named it after Monte Cristallo, the massive ridgeline northeast of Cortina.
Wicking, thermoregulating comfort
The hybrid Alpine Merino Responsive fabric, which is composed of 78% merino wool and 22% polyamide transports moisture away from the body and dries quick. The synthetic fibres are enhanced with our proprietary Responsive technology. Responsive is based on a special blend of natural thermoreactive minerals that recycles far-infrared (FIR) energy from your body, helping you to perform better, recover faster and stay warmer for longer. These benefits last for the life of the fabric as Responsive is part of the fabric yarn and does not wash out.
Innovative knitted construction
The Cristallo’s striking graphic print fabric is made using a special knitting process that spins a superfine 19-micron merino wool yarn around a nylon core. This process makes the resulting fibre not only stronger, fleecier and also 30% lighter than a comparable baselayer. The high polyamide content further improves its durability and mechanical stretch properties. It’s made with a one-piece crewneck torso that has no irritating seams, which makes it much more comfortable to wear. In a slim fit with a crew neck and a gusseted sleeve design for greater freedom of movement.
The Cristallo is a SALEWA® Committed product and meets additional strict environmental and sustainability criteria.
