Fresh energy: Out into the fresh air, in with the feel-good vibes

As the days grow longer, the sun gains 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 refills your energy stores naturally. With the right sports outfit, getting started is even easier: it keeps you comfortably regulated, moves with you and motivates with a look that puts you in a training mindset the moment you get dressed.

 

For outdoor sessions to truly energise you, you need functional materials and thoughtful details. Smart, stylish sportswear lets you breathe freely, feels great on the skin and supports you exactly where you need it – from the first step to the cool-down. Especially in spring, temperatures and surfaces can change quickly: a setup that flexes with you makes the difference between “just okay” and “really good”. That’s why we’re showcasing pieces that combine comfort, performance and style – and help you progress with every run, walk or hike.

 

Merino plays to its strengths: it regulates temperature, feels soft, hardly absorbs odour and stays comfortable even when you pick up the pace. This way you’re optimally equipped in rising winds, warming sunshine or shady stretches. Below you’ll find selected styles designed for these spring moments – lightweight, functional and with that extra touch of comfort. From smart accessories to energy-charged running models and 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 sits softly, keeps you reliably warm and remains breathable – ideal for runs, rides or a brisk power walk. Thanks to GIESSWEIN Superstretch it stays put without pinching and slips comfortably under a helmet when needed. That way you stay focused instead of thinking about hair or cold. A minimalist look meets maximum function – so every session outdoors feels that bit easier.

Wool Peak

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

Wool Trail X

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

What do our customers say?

Giesswein shoes are the most comfortable I’ve had so far, and the same goes for the Wool Peak Women. They’re super comfortable, well made, well ventilated and look great. 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 hardly take part in table tennis training in my leather sneakers. With the Wool Peak Men from Giesswein, I was immediately able to do my sport again.
