In the modern outdoor world, a stark contradiction exists: on the one hand, high-performance technical products aesthetically confined to a “mountain look,” on the other, lifestyle garments meticulously designed but lacking in functionality.
Audant was born to fill this void. Not as a fashion brand, but as a technological project that rethinks the outdoors, starting from a simple truth: the most important garment is the one in contact with the skin.

The real gap in the outdoor market
The market today offers two extremes:
- technical products with an exclusively sporty aesthetic
- underperforming lifestyle products
But those who truly live the outdoors – mountain guides, rescuers, mountain operators, active professionals, urban commuters, everyday explorers – need something else: truly technical garments, wearable every day, without compromising performance and style.
The real market gap is not in the outer layer, but in the base layer: the one that determines thermoregulation, sweating, comfort, odors and performance.
Audant is born from a biological truth, not from a narrative
In sports and outdoor work, everything starts with the skin. If the base layer doesn’t work, the entire system fails.
This is why Audant builds performance from the ground up, developing technical base layers that aren’t just underwear, but true high-performance garments, designed to be worn externally when conditions allow.
Proprietary technology: AUDANT-X fabric
The limits of traditional materials
- Pure merino wool offers comfort and antibacterial properties, but:
- it gets saturated quickly
- it dries slowly
- loses performance with intensive use
- Pure synthetics ensure quick drying, but:
- they retain odors
- release microplastics
- they are less pleasant on the skin
The answer: the technological hybrid
Audant develops a proprietary and sustainable fabric that combines:
- Merino wool → organic comfort, antibacterial, odor control
- Eco-friendly polyester → durability, elasticity, moisture management, quick drying
The result is a true technical balance:
Quick drying – long-lasting comfort – stable performance – sustainability
Not storytelling, but applied textile engineering.
Real performance for those who live outdoors every day
Audant base layers are designed for:
- Alpine guides
- mountain rescue
- mountain rescue
- mountain professionals
- users with intensive and prolonged use
Those who wear a garment for 8–10 hours a day cannot afford:
- rubbing
- cold spots
- moisture accumulation
- loss of comfort
- performance degradation
Audant responds to these needs with a technology that focuses on biomechanics, primary comfort and physical well-being.
An ecosystem arises from the base layer
Audant does not build a collection, but a system:
- D2C → premium high-performance underwear
- B2B and private label → technology supply to outdoor brands and companies
- Brand-to-brand collaborations → fashion capsules + performance
- Technical ecosystem → technology as a common language of the industry
The base layer becomes the first point of contact with the brand:
- if it fails → the brand fails
- if it works → trust
Not outdoor fashion. Organic technology.
Audant doesn’t sell clothing. Audant sells biological benefits.
In a growing market, where the outdoors has become a symbol of identity, health, and lifestyle, the true value isn’t aesthetics, but the quality of the first layer.
Because everything else depends on it.
In conclusion
Audant was born from a simple and radical premise: true outdoor innovation doesn’t start with the jacket, but with the leather.
With its proprietary hybrid, sustainable and high-performance fabric, the brand is building a new vision of the outdoors: real technique, organic comfort, stable performance and garments designed to be experienced every day, not just in the mountains.
Audant isn’t a lifestyle brand that imitates technology. Audant is a technical brand that becomes a lifestyle by nature.
