ORTOVOX is known for combining wool with technical prowess for its mountain wear offerings in a market dominated by synthetics — and is one of the few brands on the market combining this old world material with modern design. Its SWISSWOOL Piz Boval Jacket is a great example of this, with its insulation made from virgin wool from local Swiss sheep. The wool insulation of the Piz Boval Jacket will keep you warm, even when wet (much better than down) and can absorb large amounts of moisture much better than synthetics. And the insulation isn’t the only wool in play here, with additional incredibly comfy merino mesh inserts. The water-resistant and windproof shell is made from recycled Pertex Quantum. ORTOVOX is committed to fair and safe working conditions, the sustainability and wellbeing of its sheep and ensuring that its products are manufactured in the most environmentally-friendly way possible. The SWISSWOOL Piz Boval Jacket is also completely reversible and made with natural and recycled materials so you will look and feel good on and off the slopes.
