Since their beginning as rope makers for the Swiss Army over 120 years ago, Mammut has continued to pioneer new designs and materials, making sure that their ropes and backcountry gear adhere to the highest standards. Every detail is designed with pure function in mind. Mammut’s commitment to your safety is evident from Teflon-coated ropes that were the first to pass the UIAA Edge Fall Resistance test to digital avalanche beacons that decrease the time it takes to find your friends when they need you the most.
