Ortovox Swisswool Piz Boval Ski Jacket

The reversible SWISSWOOL® PIZ BOVAL JACKET for men was developed for high-action mountain sports where good insulation performance at a low weight is required. The 90g/m² lightweight lining is not only produced in an environmentally friendly way, but also has the advantage compared to down when it comes to warming, even when wet. In addition, wool can absorb and release larger quantities of moisture than synthetic fibers.Features such as the two front pockets on the multi-colored “wild side” provide plenty of storage space for equipment – or simply for warming your hands. You can store other small items safely in the inside pockets on the other side of the vest. The elastic seam and the ergonomic cut also ensure that the jacket offers an all-round good fit.The basis for our SWISSWOOL LIGHT line is the regional production of Swiss virgin wool. SWISSWOOL has set up collection stations specifically for this purpose in many Swiss Alpine valleys, some of which are very remote. At shearing time in the spring, shepherds can deliver their raw wool there in exchange for a fair price. Thanks to the SWISSWOOL facilities, sheep farming and wool production, which are often rather unprofitable these days, have experienced a revival and are now more appealing than ever. After the raw wool has been weighed, it is washed and then processed. ORTOVOX then provides the unique design and functionality during the manufacture of the end product.
