2008

Development of a partnership with TexWarm inDustry, a Japanese laboratory specialised in heating; a revolutionary thermoregulating wadding which will be blown inside the garments. It will then be labelled under the name ECOFiber+, the principle of which is to reproduce the specific characteristics of down: insulation, loft, warmth and lightness.

2012

On the strength of this initial success, HELVETICA Mountain Pioneers strengthened its collaboration with the Tokyo firm by launching the Silver+ lining in their winter collection, which they integrate into all their parkas. To this day, this feature, which originates from survival blankets, is an integral part of the brand's DNA. This new technological feat makes it possible to restore 30% of additional body heat. This is where "KEEPS YOU WARM" really comes into its own.

2015

A turning point, a revolution in the world of warm jackets, HELVETICA Mountain Pioneers integrates the first portable heating system: eWarm Technology 1.0. The designers are proud to have filed their first worldwide patent here. The heated down jackets have surpassed any other that had been made before in terms of warmth in extreme conditions.

 

HELVETICA Mountain Pioneers becomes the Official Supplier of « La grande Odyssée », Europe's annual sled dog event and the most technical in the world. The race takes place in the middle of winter in the high mountain Alps, the heart of a region from which we regularly draw our ideas. Our knowledge of the region and the harsh, sometimes hostile climate allowed us to prove our know-how. We were at home.

 

Our various products: jackets, coats, anoraks, parkas and down jackets have had a resounding response in several countries, on 3 continents, in the best high-end shops in the sector.

2016

After years of research, our team of enthusiasts succeeded in developing Shell Fabric Lamination High Water Resistant. A technology that delays the penetration of rain into our products, far more than the existing standards.

2018

The eWarm Technology 2.0 system with 5 heating pads is present on the brand's iconic models. The heat distribution is much more even, the fabrics are also evolving, the structure becomes a high-density weave to further optimize the protection against external elements.
