The winners of the first of four rounds of the ISPO Awards 2023 have been announced following a jury meeting in Innsbruck. An independent jury of six, including three industry experts and three members of the ISPO Collaborators Club, was supported by textile expert Louisa Smith, who advised on sustainability.
Said the jury: “Both product design and material selection have reached a new level – in terms of quality, functionality and sustainability. Sometimes only one important detail of a product has been improved, sometimes the usability has been significantly enhanced, and sometimes an idea has been presented that could become a real game changer. The focus is always on sustainability, which now permeates all segments and categories.”
The winners are:
- A.Round Avalanche Backpack from ABS
- Mountain Comfort 2.0 mountain boot from Bear
- Pursuit Shock trekking poles from Black Diamond
- Climfeet insoles
- GO Hydration Faucet from Dometic
- Eco Grip Disc from Evergreen Barbell
