What is ROTAUF?
ROTAUF is an outdoor apparel brand from Switzerland, with a shop in Chur in the canton of Graubünden. Its defining feature is that all products are made in Switzerland by experienced workers who are paid a living wage.
Products and positioning
The range centres on technical shells and trousers for mountain use, including:
- Ultralight Jacket: a lightweight, compact and stowable rain jacket
- Tour Jacket for men and women: waterproof, durable and highly breathable hardshells
- Tour Pants: minimalist, wind and water resistant, packable touring trousers
ROTAUF works with membrane partner Sympatex and has expanded its Alpine Eco Shell line.
Sustainability
The brand's approach rests on local production, the most local materials possible, no toxic chemicals and organic animal products, combined with transparent partnerships and products designed to last a long time.
Why it matters
ROTAUF is a rare case of technical outdoor clothing manufactured entirely in a high cost European country, using that local production as the basis of its positioning. Swiss mountain destinations such as Andermatt and Lenzerheide have chosen the brand to outfit their staff.
