more sustainable together
Shopping more responsibly? It can be done! After all, especially in the outdoor industry, more and more brands are setting out to produce their products in the most resource and climate-friendly way possible, paying attention to high standards of social responsibility along the entire value chain. Of course, as retailers, we also have to play our part here. That's why you'll find detailed product information and useful tools in our online shop to help you make a more socially conscious and informed purchasing decision. Find out more about how we can make online shopping more sustainable together. #bettertogether

Sustainability Standards
Conscious shopping
Are you looking for a product that has been manufactured as sustainably as possible? Then use the ‘Sustainability Standards’ filter in our online shop. This makes it easy to find products that meet high environmental, social and animal welfare standards throughout the entire value chain.
More and more brands in the outdoor industry are focusing on environmentally friendly materials and fair production conditions. To make it easier for you to find what you're looking for, you can filter products by the categories Materials, Environment and Social. Each category is based on recognised and verifiable standards and certifications – such as the Green Button or the Fair Trade Seal.
In addition, we offer you a special guide with ‘Trusted by Bergfreunde’: products with this symbol meet at least one standard in all three categories. This means you can be sure that environmental, social and animal welfare aspects have been taken into account holistically.
Our goal is to provide you with transparent and trustworthy information – so that you can make a conscious and informed purchasing decision.

Repair & care
The soles of your favourite walking boots no longer have much tread left? Your down jacket has a small hole? And your bike has a flat tyre? The memory of great outdoor experiences leaves its mark on clothing and equipment. But small damages are no reason to throw away your favourite product. You can often fix it yourself. This is good for the environment and for your wallet. According to a study by the English organisation WRAP, extending the useful life of clothing by nine months leads to a reduction of the CO2, water and waste footprint by 20 to 30 per cent. Therefore, our motto is: repair instead of repurchase. It is also important to take good care of your outdoor equipment so that you can enjoy it for as long as possible. While premium outdoor clothing and equipment is tough, it is only through proper and regular washing and care that its high functionality is retained over an extended period of time. This is because excessive dirt can impair the functionality of these products. Therefore, we have compiled some useful tips on how you can repair minor damage as well as helpful guidelines for proper care.

Buyer’s guide
Are you planning on purchasing new outdoor clothing or equipment? Then make a conscious and informed decision. In addition to detailed product information and helpful reviews from other customers, you will find other useful tools in our shop, such as detailed buying guides for numerous categories or calculators to determine, for example, your climbing shoe size or the optimal length of your walking poles. Do you still have questions or are not quite sure about something? Then please contact our custumer service. Our staff are real outdoor enthusiasts and experts and are there to help and offer advice.

We are part of the
fur free retailer program
Guaranteed fur-free shopping - we have made a written commitment to this by joining the Fur Free Retailer Program. In doing so, we want to send a strong signal for greater animal welfare in the textile industry while emphasising our consistent renunciation of products made with real fur. The Fur Free Retailer Program is an initiative of the Fur Free Alliance, an association of around 50 international animal welfare and environmental protection organisations. In Germany, the Fur Free Retailer Program is represented by the animal welfare organisation "FOUR PAWS" (VIER PFOTEN - Stiftung für Tierschutz). You can find more information about the Fur Free Retailer Program here.
