Alpina Prolan Men Vest Protector Dark Gray XL Ski Protector

In places where everything turns white in winter and slopes are steep and we go about favourite pastime, tracing arcs into the snow, sheep graze in the summer.

Big sheep, little sheep, white and black. They all have one thing in common: wool. A sustainable resource that has not only protected generations of people from the cold, but has been a valuable commodity and still is among mountain peoples. In recent years, wool has been replaced by synthetic fabrics as a material for sports clothing. Now the warming, protective, natural and sustainable good is experiencing a renaissance. The developers at Alpina have worked with lavalan, a Bavarian wool production near Dinkelsbühl, to create something unique: PROLAN. Wool that protects. Not only from the cold, bad odours and plastic in the ocean. PROLAN is sheep’s wool that has been processed in such a way that the cushioning properties go beyond the functionality of traditional protectors. What was once unheard of has now been examined in a number of tests and confirmed by TÜV. The new Alpina protector with PROLAN fulfils norm 1621-2 Level 1. PROLAN is an innovation the likes of which the sport industry hasn’t seen in a long time.

  • Wool protection panels to perfectly regulate body temperature and odours during eve
  • The wool comes solely from European sheep and is a naturally renewable resource.
  • Removable, multi-layer and flexible wool protection panel construction of highest safety standards with non-temperature-sensitive impact-absorbing properties.
  • High degree of wear comfort and optimal freedom of movement thanks to the ergonomically designed protection panels.
  • Comfortable and breathable outer layer made of washable wool

Technologies

  • lavalan: lavalan is a washable insulation material made of sheep wool, used as a padding in ALPINA ski helmets to provide extra comfort. The sustainably obtained lavalan wool has both insulating and temperature-regulating properties, is breathable and prevents unpleasant sweat odours from forming thanks to the wool’s natural moisture management and the self-cleaning function of the wool fibres. European wool is exclusively used for production, the short production routes for which allow us to monitor animal welfare.
  • Prolan: PROLAN is a wool protector made of pressed sheep’s wool. The multi-layer structure meets the requirements for TÜV standard 1621-2 level 1 for protectors and has damping properties that are not impacted by temperature. The ergonomically adjusted protector plates are comfortable and breathable, creating a pleasant body temperature. The wool comes exclusively from European sheep and is a naturally renewable resource.
