Our guarantee: we repair your gear for life

A repaired garment is a story extended. We ensure the longevity of your Cimalp equipment, season after season.

Who did we design it for?

For hikers and mountaineers who want protection without compromising freedom of movement.

Those who face changing conditions - ridgeline wind, sudden showers, morning chill - who refuse to weigh themselves down with a full jacket when effort keeps the upper body warm.

A second layer of active protection for those who know the mountain demands quick adaptation, without losing breathability or ease of movement.

How should you wear it?

Wear as a mid-layer over a breathable technical base layer, on its own or under a jacket if conditions worsen. Its seams are not sealed: in rain lasting more than 30 minutes, wear it under a hardshell jacket. Slightly fitted: size up if you are between sizes.

What makes the difference?

Its waterproof protection without the sleeves. A 3-layer gilet in CimaShell® that cuts wind and rain while freeing your movements, for only 380 g.

The protection that frees your arms

Ridge wind, a sudden shower, the cold settling in at rest stops. In the mountains, conditions change fast. And when effort keeps the upper body warm, it's the torso that stays exposed.

The VISO 2 was designed to protect without restricting. Its 3-layer construction blocks wind and rain across the chest, where cold sets in first. Sleeveless, it preserves full range of motion — walking arms, pole handling, pack fit. It breathes with the effort and goes unnoticed under a jacket or alone on the trail. 380 g in the pack, not a gram more than needed.

Because in the mountains, the right protection is the one you actually wear. The one that adapts to conditions without slowing you down.

The previous model had an inside pocket on the left side that I missed in this new version. I salvaged the components from the old pocket and transferred them to the new Viso 2H. See photo. This open pocket lets me quickly access my phone with my right hand to take photos or reply to a message if it's really urgent.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A softshell provides good thermal insulation thanks to its brushed inner lining and windproof effect. In very cold conditions, we recommend adding a thermal base layer (first layer) and a fleece (second layer) for optimal comfort.

Yes, for a passing shower or in snow: its membrane is waterproof. But its seams are not sealed. In rain lasting more than 30 minutes, water will eventually get through them. For long days in the rain, choose a hardshell jacket with sealed seams.

Machine wash at 30°C, zips closed, with a technical detergent (such as NIKWAX) and no fabric softener. Use a gentle spin cycle (400 rpm). To reactivate the water-repellent finish, use a suitable product and a short tumble dry on a low heat.

If you place your order before 1 pm (excluding weekends), it will be dispatched the same day. Allow 2 to 4 working days for home delivery or collection point delivery within mainland France.

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.
