GORE-TEX
The outer layer must protect against unpredictable weather elements, ensuring waterproofing and breathability to prevent moisture buildup. For over 40 years, we have been choosing GORE-TEX to offer protection and functionality to outdoor enthusiasts.
Layering is in our DNA
For John Rich, who founded Woolrich in 1830, there was only one way to do things: do them right. At the beginning, Woolrich produced durable clothing for those who worked outdoors, such as loggers, fishermen, and hunters. Our garments helped them work and survive in nature.
Over the years, the brand began to attract outdoor activity enthusiasts, and the 1970s catalogs were aimed at them, serving as true guides for dressing in a functional way to face the elements and enjoy outdoor activities without suffering from the cold or excessive sweating. How? By layering.
Dressing for active outdoor fun can be a very serious business.
Layering is the key to dressing appropriately to safely enjoy the activities we love. Each layer has a specific function. The base layer, the essential layer that fits snugly to the skin, prevents stagnant air and moisture on the body. The second layer must be made of wool: a durable, naturally insulating and water-repellent fabric. To enhance thermal insulation in colder seasons, the optimal third layer is a padded garment, preferably a vest. The fourth and final layer, which protects from wind and rain, is a technical outerwear garment. In 1979, with the aim of creating the perfect outer layer, we launched the Mountain Parka in waterproof GORE-TEX fabric.
Since then, we have continued to create iconic garments that prioritize functionality and comfort.
