Fresh energy: Out into the fresh air, into the feel-good zone

As the days grow longer, the sun gathers strength and nature awakens, we feel the urge to move more. At the same time, many struggle with spring fatigue. The best answer is simpler than you might think: regular exercise in the fresh air. It gets your circulation going, lifts your mood and replenishes your energy stores naturally. With the right sports outfit, getting started becomes even easier: it keeps you comfortably regulated, follows your every move and motivates with a look that puts you in a training mindset the moment you put it on.

 

For outdoor sessions to truly uplift, you need functional materials and well-thought-out details. Smart, stylish sportswear lets you breathe freely, feels good against the skin and supports you exactly where you need it – from the first step to the cool-down. Especially in spring, temperature and terrain often change quickly: a set-up that plays along flexibly makes the difference between “so-so” and “really good”. That’s why we’re showing you pieces that combine comfort, performance and style – and help you make tangible progress with every run, walk or hike.

 

This is where merino comes into its own: it regulates temperature, feels soft, barely absorbs odour and stays comfortable even at pace. So you’re optimally equipped in rising winds, warming sunshine or shady stretches. Below you’ll find selected styles that are made for these spring moments – lightweight, functional and with that extra bit of comfort. From smart accessories and energy-charged running models to grippy trail shoes: these companions turn every session in the fresh air into a little reset for body and mind.

 

Headband Brentenjoch

When the wind picks up and you still want to give it your all, the Headband Brentenjoch steps in. The thin, double-layer merino jersey nestles softly, keeps you reliably warm and remains breathable – ideal for runs, rides or a brisk power walk. Thanks to GIESSWEIN Superstretch it sits securely without pinching and, when needed, slips comfortably under a helmet. That way you stay focused instead of thinking about hair or cold. A minimalist look meets maximum function – so every outdoor session becomes that bit easier.

Wool Peak

Whether on tarmac or soft forest trails – the Wool Peak gives you noticeable energy back with every step. The specially engineered midsole cushions softly, relieves impact and adds dynamism, while GIESSWEIN’s WOOLFINITY upper delivers high shape retention and flexibility. Inside, merino ensures continuous moisture wicking and a pleasantly dry foot climate, even as your pace rises. The rubber outsole provides reliable grip; width G fits comfortably on normal to wider feet. The result: a running feel that motivates and makes you want to head out for the next round – every day.

Wool Trail X

As soon as the mountains call, the Wool Trail X shows its strengths. Waterproof, breathable and equipped with high cushioning, it carries you confidently through mud, wet and scree. Deeply lugged treads bite reliably, while TPU elements protect the toes and lacing area. Merino on the inside reduces pressure, is antibacterial and regulates temperature; heel support and an EVA midsole promote a smooth roll for hours. The robust, stretchy performance material remains pleasantly flexible. Reflective details increase visibility, the pull-on loop saves time – and width G fits broader feet perfectly.

What do our customers say?

Giesswein shoes are the most comfortable I’ve had so far — the same goes for the Wool Peak Women. They are super comfortable, well made, well ventilated and look great. And you can rely on the sizing, too. I’d buy them again.
Tanja — ★★★★★
Because of an ingrown toenail I was in so much pain that I could barely take part in table tennis training in my leather trainers. With the Wool Peak Men from Giesswein I was able to get back to my sport straight away.
