Innovations in Trusted Pieces The Winter 2023
Collection
also includes improvements to trusted pieces in your wardrobe. Based on the
experiences of our ambassadors’ testing products in the toughest mountain
conditions, we have enhanced not only their design but also their features and
colors.
One
example is the REBEL
outdoor pants, known for their precise and comfortable cut, which underwent
a complete design overhaul. We increased the waist collar to enhance their
thermal comfort, incorporating graphene-infused material known for its
antibacterial properties.
For lovers of natural materials, the FURRY merino wool shirts now feature attractive new prints, making you true icons of snowy landscapes. Styles like BOSCO, PEAK, ALPHA ACTIVE, DRAGON, GRID, and EIGER will captivate you with their new color combinations reflecting the latest trends.
Layering is Key
To
tackle any winter weather surprises, layering is key with our collection.
Start with items that keep you dry and warm. From the Winter 2023 Collection, the men's and women's FURRY long merino shirts and the stretchy TONALE PANTS/TONALE PANTS LADY trousers perform this function excellently. This base layer will wick away sweat, keeping you dry even as you attempt to break your record for conquering slopes in a day.
The
next layer is insulation. Here, you can play with thickness
based on the outside temperature or the adrenaline-filled performance you have
planned. You can choose the ALPHA JACKET or
its women's variant, BORA
LADY. Sometimes, simply adding the unique Thindown™ fabric insulated
jacket, UNIQ, to the
merino shirt Furry
long is enough. It provides the right comfort during physical activity, keeping
you warm without the feeling of sweating.

insulation properties as traditional feathers (on the right). However, during
use, there is no feather settling to the bottom..
Now
comes the most crucial part – the outer layer.
The skiing pants EIGER/EIGER LADY are made
from Pertex® Shield material, originating from Great Britain. Thanks to it,
you'll enjoy skiing or snowboarding regardless of the weather conditions on the
slope. The pants are characterized by a high level of waterproofing, wind
resistance and breathability.

But
beware, it's not just about pants. To truly avoid being caught off guard by the
weather, it's essential to think about the upper part of your clothing, such as
the waterproof GUIDE/
GUIDE Lady
jacket. These hardshell jackets stand out with a well-crafted cut, modern
design, and technical details. Their lightweight three-layer membrane material
provides excellent breathability, ensures perfect protection against water
penetration, and allows for sufficient ventilation during any sports activity.
How the Winter 2023 Collection is Evaluated by Professionals
Our ambassadors also tested the Winter
2023 Collection. Professional climbers, mountain guides, and ski
mountaineers tested the collection in challenging mountain conditions. The testing took place a year before the entire collection
was introduced to the market, allowing us to adjust individual styles based on
practical experiences of professionals to better meet the needs of outdoor
sports and the necessary comfort.
One of our testers is Zdeněk Hák, a recipient of
the prestigious Golden Ice Axe (Zlatý Cepín) PIOLETS D´OR award. He evaluated some styles of the Winter 2023 Collection as
follows: "The new hardshell jacket DEAMON 'holds water.'
You can be sure that even in the shower, you wouldn't be any drier."

Zdeněk recently returned from his challenging expedition in the Himalayas, where not only he but also his equipment faced extreme conditions. When we subsequently interviewed him, he couldn't praise enough the NARVIK outdoor jacket, which remarkably retains warmth even in brutally sub-zero temperatures.
Regarding the Winter 2023 Collection, Chief Designer Luděk Hostan has this to say:
"As
the chief designer, I am pleased to contribute to the creation of outdoor
clothing for DIRECT ALPINE. Each of our collections is like ascending a new
peak, where we must prepare for variable conditions while remaining true to our
philosophy - going straight to the top, directly to the goal without any
deviations, twists, or compromises.
As
an active climber and ski mountaineer, I know that every detail has its
significance, whether it's the choice of color or the use of the latest
materials that keep you dry even in a downpour.
When
creating new styles, we don't just want to keep pace with the competition; we
want to surpass it. We keep an eye on what's new on the scene, what colors are
trending. We then blend all of this with our sense for the outdoors. We don't
just combine colors by eye; we tune them so that they are not only trendy but
also functional. Because you know how important it is to be seen when wandering
through the mountains or running through the forests.
Layering and Color Combinations Showcase of the Winter
2023 Collection
I have the best team - and I don't just mean on paper. Each of us lives for sports. I myself have experienced a lot, from snow-covered peaks to rainy trail runs, and I know what sportswear must endure. And when I say our employees are our ambassadors, I don't mean some fancy titles. They genuinely test the clothing. They put it to the test on rocks, cycling trails, and in the snow on slopes or cross-country skis. And then they come to me and say, 'This is great, but here it could use improvement.' Together, we bring it to perfection.
