Born in the mountains, at home in the snow, technical advancements always top of mind: Our history is characterized by passionate people and innovation that together have allowed us to revolutionize the world of mountain and ski sports.
Fritz Barthel has a brilliant idea to make ski touring easier: He builds metal pins onto the toe piece of a binding and creates a boot with coordinating notches. The first pin binding comes into existence.
DYNAFIT launches the “Tourlite Tech,” the first boot-binding combination based on Barthel’s invention. This revolutionizes ski touring thanks to its unsurpassed lightness and efficiency.
DYNAFIT joins the Salewa group, that has been part of the South Tyrol Oberalp Group since 1990. That allows DYNAFIT to fully focus on the development of innovative ski touring products.
2005: Brand relaunch
The snow leopard is introduced as the new company logo as part of the brand relaunch. It clearly signifies what DYNAFIT represents in mountain sports: Lightness, efficiency and speed. In addition, DYNAFIT establishes itself as a full-line brand in the ski touring segment in its focus on entire systems instead of singular products.
2012: First summer collection
DYNAFIT introduces a trail running collection for the first time and with that becomes an all-season outfitter for products head to toe. The mission to equip ambitious mountain sports enthusiasts with the most efficient system all year round sets the course for the future.
2023: Introduction of the DYNAFIT Lifetime Guarantee
The DYNAFIT Lifetime Guarantee is a new promise of quality and sustainability. With that, it is guaranteed that DYNAFIT products will function for 10 years just as they did on the first day.
