Founded in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1981 by Ulrich Dausien, Jack Wolfskin was born from a desire to create functional, reliable outdoor gear. The brand’s name was inspired by a campfire story in the Canadian wilderness, reflecting a spirit of adventure and the protective quality of a wolf's coat. This ethos translates into a wide range of apparel, footwear, and equipment—including jackets, backpacks, and tents—engineered for performance and durability. The brand is particularly recognized for its proprietary Texapore technology, a waterproof and breathable fabric that has become a signature of its outerwear.
