By the editorial team·21. July 2026·3 min read

Founded in 1804 in Schwabmünchen, Bavaria, Schöffel stands for quality and reliability, for high-quality products and connection to nature. As the world's oldest outdoor clothing company, it is now run as a family business in the seventh generation, with the aim of combining tradition with innovation to enable unique outdoor experiences. Schöffel thus combines the best of both worlds: craftsmanship and modern technology. Whether on hikes, ski or bike tours – Schöffel accompanies its customers with sustainable, functional and stylish products.

Freedom to feel: I'm out.

With its sharpened brand DNA, based on the values of reliability, joy and self-determination, Schöffel has set itself the goal of promoting authentic nature experiences, so that everyone can shape their own adventures in an individual way. The claimI'm out.is not only a philosophy, but a promise that makes Schöffel a unique companion on the nature adventures of its customers.

Schöffel invites you to enjoy nature – without pressure, without stress. The clothing is designed to convey a feeling of freedom, to focus on the essentials, namely moments that count.

The ideal equipment for every outdoor adventure

The Schöffel collections are more than just clothing – they are a tool to experience nature in a completely individual way. From the innovative layering system, which allows you to perfectly adapt to any weather, to the warming high-tech ski clothing, Schöffel develops products that combine functionality and style. Thanks to years of expertise, Schöffel offers outdoor, ski and bike clothing that is ideally tailored to the needs of nature lovers and adventurers.

Sustainability – For customers and nature

Sustainability is an integral part of the corporate identity. Schöffel continuously strives to minimize its ecological footprint. Membership in the Fair Wear Foundation and the Sustainable Textiles Alliance underscores the commitment to fair working conditions and environmentally friendly production. With ambitious goals, such as reducing CO₂ emissions by 50% by 2030, the company aims to ensure that not only buyers but also nature benefit from the products.

Schöffel Service Factory – Repair instead of replacing

The philosophy of longevity is also reflected in the service. With the Schöffel Service Factory, customers have the opportunity to have their outdoor clothing professionally repaired. For Schöffel, sustainability therefore means not only environmentally friendly production, but also extending the lifespan of the products.
