MOVER OF MOUNTAINS

Mike Horn

South African native, Mover ambassador and extreme athlete, Mike Horn loves the maximum challenge. He’s either swimming down the Amazon river in the South American Jungle, conquering yet another « Eigth-thousander » in the Himalayas without oxygen assistance, undertaking a 20,000 kilometer long expedition along the polar circle in the coldest and harshest conditions on earth, or first man to cross the South Pole in full autonomy, 57 days, 5100 kilometers and negative 60°C temperatures. Mikes knows about equipment, and to what extent the reliability of natural fiber can save your life : in wool he trusts !

Be it in the mountain or by the sea, Stève wears wool and knows why.
