Focus Areas
Safety on and off the piste has come to be an important issue within the winter sports industry – and that’s not just on the basis of helmets and goggles having been part of the standard equipment worn even by recreational sports enthusiasts for some time now. Special hardware, such as protective gear, avalanche transceivers, avalanche airbags, snow shovels, avalanche probes, and even emergency radio technology, is also appealing to an ever expanding range of customers. ISPO Munich is putting the issue of safety firmly in the spotlight with its Snow and Safety Platform, which you’ll be able to find in Hall A3.
One thing visitors to ISPO Munich 2020 can be sure of is that if they head to halls A1 to A5 (easily accessible via the West Entrance), they will be treated to a full overview of the entire outdoor sports market. There they will find suppliers of exclusive specialist climbing equipment, the hottest water sports labels, and suppliers catering to multiple segments across the outdoor sports industry.
Besides the trends in hardware, Snowsports will also be showing new products in clothing and accessories. Each hall is dedicated to the indispensable accessories for winter sports and shows colour and design trends for winter jackets, functional clothing, ski and snowboard trousers, gloves, caps, underwear and much more.
The center of the Woolstreet is natural wool surrounded by related products made from processed wool fibers.
ISPO Munich dedicates the “Snowsports Media Lounge” to the topics snowboarding & freeskiing. The most important print magazines and online platforms of the sector can be found in this focus area.
Skiing has long ceased to be synonymous with alpine skiing. If you say skiing, you can mean carving on the piste, freeskiing in the fun park or over moguls, freeriding in the backcountry or ski touring. Hall B5 is entirely dedicated to skiing. The Focus Area “Heros of Ski” in your midst shows the ski legends of the past & present, including the product technology. The combination “Past to Now” creates an exciting arc that brings past and present stars and their equipment to life.
