A shepherd needs a fall jacket

Thomas Quarta wears the Alta Quota fall jacket on an alpine shieling

The shepherd Thomas Quarta is already 120 days alone on an alpine shieling in Switzerland. Not all alone, because there are some cattles – and of course his first choice for a jacket: The Alta Quota Outdoorjacket for men.

Thomas Quarta looks slightly tired after 120 days alone and the bad weather in summer 2014. Fortunately he has chosen the ecofriendly fall jacket from polychromelab, when he planed what he wants to take with him on the alpine shieling. All summer long he won’t go into the valley and he has little luggage with him too. Because of that he decided to take a jacket, that responds to every weather situation.

The loneliness in the mountains

On the alpine shieling a lot of work is to do. He has to care for the cattles, to take them to feeding locations and to protect them. As a shepherd he is outside all day long and when he comes home in the evening, he even has to cook something, only having spare ingredients.

If Thomas Quarta has done well in the loneliness of the Alps, you’ll now soon. If you want to know more about the all-weather-jacket, visit our webshop polychromelab concept store.

 

Shepherd Matthias Aichner Alta Quota Summer – Part 2

2013 – Matthias Aichner is on the alpine shieling for months now.  Secludedly he spends every day outside in nature. The first part of his story you can read here: shepherd Matthias Aichner part 2.

Outside with a mountain jacket

Matthias uses the possibility to go hiking on the near mountains. As a change from tending cattles he goes mountaineering with the Alta Quota mountain jacket. During the exhausting way up the silver side on the outside of the jacket reflects uv rays of the sun to cool body temperature down. He feels noticeably cooler and is still protected from wind and weather.

On top of the mountain Matthias simply reverses the outdoor jacket to the black side. On his way down the body regenerates and temperature decreases. The black side of the jacket absorps uv rays of the sun and this way the reversible jacket warms noticeably the user.

Relaxing on an alpine shieling

Protected from wind and weather this good Matthias arrives safely on the alpine shieling. Outside in the nature of the tyrolean alps he acknowledges a qualitative product. After this hard day he enjoys the last sunshine of the day lying on the pasture.

Hirte wählt Allwetterjacke von polychromelab

Der Ursprung

Thomas Quarta sitzt im Wald auf einer Bank und schaut ins Inntal. Thomas Quarta ist Hirte und sehr naturverbunden. Die Zigarette im Mund beschließt er kurzerhand einen Sommer auszusteigen. Er bewirbt sich als Kuh-Hirte auf einer Alm in der Schweiz für den Sommer 2014. Alles Was er braucht ist Verpflegung, Zigaretten und natürlich eine gute Jacke.

Die Natur-Jacke

Thomas Quarta ist als naturverbundener und umweltbewusster Mensch natürlich auch eine umweltfreundliche Jacke wichtig. Er wird auf die polychromelab Jacken aufmerksam, da die umweltfreundlichen Stoffe für jedes Wetter geeignet sind. Das letztjährige Projekt von Matthias Aichner, der ebenfalls als Hirte einen Sommer lang die Alta Quota Outdoorjacke zufrieden verwendet hat, inspiriert Thomas Quarta dieses Jahr.

Die ersten Wochen

Die ersten Wochen auf der Alm sind natürlich total cool. Der Hirte Thomas Quarta treibt die Kühe auf die Alm und zündet sich erstmal eine Zigarette an. Ganz entspannt sieht er den nächsten Wochen entgegen. Auch wenn’s mal regnet…
