Q: What is the meaning behind the name Aztech Mountain?

A: Our favorite run on Aspen Mountain is Aztec. Named after an old mining claim, Aztec is one of the steepest pitches on our home mountain and is an important part of the America’s Downhill World Cup Course. We grew up watching our heroes descend Aztec at death-defying speeds and today it’s one of the first places we go on a powder day. Since we produce technical garments, we added an “h” and named our company Aztech Mountain.

 

Q: Where are Aztech Mountain garments made?

A: The majority of our products are produced in Europe, between Italy and Slovakia. All of our technical outerwear is produced in Slovakia, the off-mountain outerwear is generally produced in Italy. Our lifestyle pieces including shirts, fleeces and sweaters are produced in China.

 

Q: Is your down ethically sourced?

A:  Our down is sourced throughout the globe from countries including France, Hungary and China.  We never procure down in which duck or geese have been force fed or live plucked and our down is 100% traceable.  For more information on our Responsible Down Policy please email us at  info@aztechmountain.com.

 

Q: Is the wool that Aztech Mountain uses mulesed?

A:  Practices like mulesing that cause harm are never permitted by our suppliers and our suppliers are committed to never posing a risk of injury to the sheep.

 

Q: Are Aztech Mountain’s products eco-friendly?

A: Perhaps the most important progression for Aztech Mountain in 2021 is the integration of sustainable fabrics. Our core technical nylon that is prevalent throughout the collection is now a Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified 4-way stretch, waterproof and breathable recycled nylon. We have also redesigned our fleece program based upon a GRS certified fleece textile. Our down programs continue utilize RDS and traceable down fill and we will of course continue to pursue a more sustainable future for Aztech Mountain while remaining uncompromising on the performance and touch we expect from our garments.

 

Q: How would you describe the fit of Aztech Mountain garments?

A:  Our garments fit true to size.

Q: What temperature are Aztech Mountain jackets rated to?

A: Our warmest jackets are the Nuke Suit, Elk Mountain Puffer and Shadow Mountain Parka. These jackets are rated to -10° F or -23° C.

 

Q: Are Aztech Mountain jackets waterproof?

A: Throughout our collection, we use some of the most technical fabrics available. Our most common waterproof rating is 20,000mm with a breathability rating of 10,000 m2/24hrs (or higher). This combination provides ample water-resistance without sacrificing breathability. All of the ski jackets are seam sealed throughout.

 

Q: What is the best way to clean my Aztech Mountain technical garment?

A: When cleaning any technical clothing, including the Wool Nuke Suit or Capitol Peak Parka, we suggest spot cleaning whenever possible.  If your garment is dirtier, cold water machine wash with a tech wash product when necessary, hang-dry to allow for as much water to drip out as possible, tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls to dry out the down fill and restore the loft to the garment. 

 

Q: Do you offer custom tailoring?

A: While we do not offer in-house alterations, the vast majority of our products can be tailored to fit any specific needs. Depending upon where you live, we may know a good tailor, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@aztechmountain.com.

 

Q: What makes the Matterhorn Sweater collection water-resistant?

A: The Milano-knit Merino wool in our Matterhorn Sweater collection is treated twice with Teflon. The first time when the wool is in its raw state and then again when the garment is finished. The Teflon coating will allow water to bead off of the Merino wool and will also prevent pilling, keep your sweater looking good for years!
