Marketing Specialist (Jack Wolfskin)

For almost 40 years, our name and pawprint have been a symbol of our trailblazing spirit and regard for nature—a reference to the independent, free wolves that roam the wilderness in Jack London’s novel The Call of the Wild.

Today, it remains our mission to create on-trend, enduring gear and clothing so all can experience the benefits of the outdoors.
