Ortovox: Swiss Quality for Your Mountain Equipment

Since its inception in 1980, Ortovox has been dedicated to providing a complete, technical, and high-performance equipment for mountain adventures. Upholding strong environmental values, the German brand has been working with swisswool from the Swiss Alps since 2011. The goal? To create insulating products with exceptional thermal properties. Discover our wide range of Ortovox clothing, Ortovox bags, and Ortovox avalanche safety equipment, all produced with over 25 years of experience based on wool from sheep.

Ortovox: Merino Wool as a Guiding Principle

Since the creation of the Ortovox brand, its convictions and commitments regarding environmental protection have evolved. From the first to the third layer, wool is an integral part of the collections. From Ortovox underwear to Ortovox pants and Ortovox fleece jackets, merino wool ensures warmth, comfort, and excellent moisture regulation throughout your mountain outings, whether skiing or freeriding. And because Ortovox places environmental concerns at the heart of its priorities, it has created its own quality standard: the Ortovox Wool Promise, focused on animal welfare, sustainable land and farm management, slaughter, and transport. 

Ortovox: Complete Clothing Ranges for Your Mountain Adventures

What would a ski outing be without complete and high-performance equipment? This concern has been the brand's priority for 20 years, designing technical and innovative products that accompany you on your most beautiful mountain adventures. Be charmed by the quality of the underwear, Ortovox socks, or Ortovox jackets, all made from soft merino wool. And to store all the necessary gear for your outdoor sessions, take advantage of the Ortovox bags, including the famous Ortovox airbag bags. With an ultra-complete range, the brand offers clothing and equipment useful for all adventures. Here’s a small selection to face winter in the best way possible!
