A polyolefinic fiber made from or containing from 2 wt % to 20 wt % relative to the total weight of the fiber of a polyolefin composition made from or containing: A) 5-35% by weight of a propylene homopolymer or a propylene ethylene copolymer; B) 20-50% by weight of a copolymer of ethylene and a C3-C8 alpha-olefin containing from 0.1% to 20% by weight of alpha-olefin units and containing 25% by weight or less of a fraction soluble in xylene at 25° C.; and C) 30-60% by weight of a copolymer of ethylene and propylene containing from 25% to 75% by weight of ethylene units and containing from 40% to 95% by weight of a fraction soluble in xylene at 25° C.; the amounts of (A), (B) and (C) being referred to the total weight of (A)+(B)+(C), the sum of the amount of (A)+(B)+(C) being 100.
