Terrex is the outdoor division of the German sporting goods giant. According to Terrex, their target group is "all those who go their own way in nature, let their imagination run free and exceed their own expectations - be it climbing, cross-country skiing, mountain biking or various mountain sports".

You will see a relentless stream of sustainable innovations coming from us. We believe you don’t need to compromise performance for style, and you don’t need to compromise performance for sustainability.
