Ortovox Western Alps Hybrid Jacket

Swiss sheep wool meets Tasmanian lightness: The Westalpen Swisswool Hybrid high-altitude jacket for men is a unique combination of Swiss insulation material Swisswool and Merino fleece grid material with Tasmanian Merino wool on the inside. The 70 g/m² Swisswool filling is used wherever additional protection and warmth are needed.

The sustainable Swiss sheep wool is packed into a stretchy, breathable, and wind-resistant Swisswool Tec-Stretch material. Tailored to the lightweight filling and elastic outer material, our Merino fleece grid is incorporated into the hybrid jacket: The fleece material not only provides ample freedom of movement and is comfortable against the skin, but also has a high heat retention capacity thanks to its channel structure.

Additionally, the Tasmanian Merino wool on the inside regulates moisture and temperature, is soft against the skin, and has naturally odor-neutralizing properties. The combination of Swisswool in the chin area and fleece grid material in the neck ensures optimal climate comfort. The backpack-optimized chest pocket provides storage for bars, a phone, or a map. In the Merino fleece lines, Ortovox uses the finest Merino wool on the inside along with polyester on the outside. The special feature of the Merino fleece grid is its waffle structure on the inside: This knit construction makes the material lightweight, ensures sufficient ventilation, and simultaneously demonstrates high insulation capabilities.

The Swisswool Tec-Stretch material is a special polyamide that offers protection while providing freedom of movement. As a wind- and water-repellent as well as breathable outer layer, Tec-Stretch perfectly complements the Swisswool filling and highlights the excellent weight-to-insulation ratio.
