The benefits of Coldbreaker products
Wool: an exceptional material
Wool is a natural fibre used for centuries to protect against the cold. It offers several qualities that synthetic fibres struggle to match:
- Natural warmth: wool fibres trap air, creating an insulating layer around the body. The same volume of wool is warmer than the same volume of cotton
- Moisture regulation: wool absorbs perspiration without feeling wet, unlike cotton which quickly becomes uncomfortable when damp
- Odour resistance: wool naturally limits bacterial growth responsible for bad odours, so it needs less frequent washing
- Durability: with proper care, a wool garment can be worn for several seasons without losing its qualities. It's a real medium-term investment
- Natural and renewable material: unlike synthetic fleeces made from petroleum, wool is a renewable and biodegradable resource
Comfort and warmth for winter
Coldbreaker uses wool to offer an alternative to classic synthetic fleeces. What sets the brand's warm clothing apart:
- Distinctive style: carefully chosen colours (Bark, Khaki, Dijon, Choco Martini, Panter Camelio) and original patterns like Leopard or Beige Multi Dots. These pieces stand out from standard fleeces at first glance
- Contemporary cuts: women's jackets or men's jackets in oversized fits for a modern silhouette, far from the classic technical outdoor fleece cut
- Versatility for mountain and everyday use: a Coldbreaker wool fleece works just as well as a mid-layer for snowy outings as it does as a main piece at the office or on a city walk

Sleeveless jackets: versatility and style
The unisex sleeveless jackets make up the majority of the Coldbreaker range. They provide warmth to the core while leaving arms free to move, ideal for mid-season or as a mid-layer:

- Vest Adult Pepitko Ultralight: a lighter version of the Pepitko, with Panter Camelio, Beige Multi Dots or Dijon colours. Perfect for mid-season or as a second layer under a light down jacket
- Vest Adult POS Ultralight: another ultralight version, available in Choco Martini and Tan. Packs easily into a backpack for outings with changing weather
Jackets with sleeves: optimal protection
For full coverage in colder weather, the range includes several long-sleeved models:
- Sweatshirt Adult Nordeen: straight-cut wool jacket, available in Bark, Beige, Leopard. Can be worn alone or as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket

Coldbreaker accessories to complete your outfit
Siberian slippers: comfort at home
The Slippers Adult Siberian are wool slippers designed for use at home or in the chalet:
- Non-slip sole: for safe movement on smooth floors (wood, tiles) without slipping
- Two colours available: Plain Beige and Multi Nord with refined patterns
- Perfect for winter evenings: wool keeps feet warm without overheating, making them comfortable for hours on end
- A great gift idea: compact, attractive and practical, they are among the brand's most popular gifts
Wool mittens: warmth and elegance
The Mitten Adult Simple are unisex mittens available in three colours (Natural, Bark, Beige Multi Dots):

- Mittens design: fingers grouped together share warmth, making these women's mittens and men's mittens warmer than five-finger gloves
- Timeless design: earthy colours and subtle patterns match most winter outfits, from outdoor looks to city wear
- A popular gift accessory: like the Siberian slippers, Coldbreaker mittens are a favourite gift for winter holidays or birthdays
FAQ: All about Coldbreaker
How do you care for your Coldbreaker wool clothing?
Wool is a premium material that requires a little more care than synthetic fabrics. A few simple steps will extend the life of your Coldbreaker pieces:
- Cold or lukewarm wash: up to 30°C, on a wool cycle or by hand, with wool detergent or mild soap. Avoid higher temperatures which felt the fibres and shrink the garments
- No vigorous spinning: gently press out water without wringing. Wet wool is fragile and easily deformed
- Flat drying: lay garments flat on a towel, away from direct heat sources (radiator, sun). Hanging to dry stretches the knit
- Few washes needed: wool gets dirty less quickly than cotton and retains fewer odours. Air out your pieces after each wear rather than washing frequently
- Moth protection: out of season, store wool clothing with a moth repellent sachet (cedar, lavender) in a dry, closed place. Moths are particularly attracted to animal fibres
Does Coldbreaker offer products suitable for intense outdoor activities?
The Coldbreaker range is more focused on winter lifestyle and mid-layers than on intense activity. For skiing, demanding hikes or endurance sports, technical synthetic fleeces (Polartec, Thermolite, etc.) are more suitable: they dry faster during activity, wick away sweat better, and are easier to machine wash. Coldbreaker fits perfectly into your men's clothing and women's clothing collection:
- As a mid-layer: a wool jacket or sweatshirt under a down jacket or waterproof jacket for walks, in the hut, or at the resort after skiing
- As a lifestyle piece: for the city, weekends in the mountains, or travel in cold climates, where style matters as much as function
- As a warm accessory: wool mittens and slippers for everyday use, at home or for relaxed walks
