ORTOVOX Westalpen Swisswool Hybrid Jacket Women wild rose
Product description
Functional merino fleece jacket with SWISSWOOL inserts for ski tours and high alpine tours
Swiss virgin wool meets Tasmanian lightness: The WESTALPEN SWISSWOOL HYBRID high-alpine touring jacket for women features a unique combination of SWISSWOOL insulation material and MERINO FLEECE GRID with Tasmanian merino wool on the inside.
The 60 g/m² SWISSWOOL lining is used anywhere where additional protection and warmth is required. Sustainable Swiss virgin wool has been packed in an elastic, breathable and wind-resistant SWISSWOOL TEC-STRETCH material. MERINO FLEECE GRID has been integrated into this hybrid jacket to complement the lightweight lining and elastic outer material: fleece material provides a great deal of freedom of movement, is comfortable on the skin and boasts good heat retention properties thanks to its channel structure. Tasmanian merino wool on the inside also regulates moisture and temperature levels, is soft on the skin and is naturally odor-neutralizing. A combination of SWISSWOOL at the chin and FLEECE GRID MATERIAL at the neck provides optimum climate control. A backpack-compatible breast pocket provides room for storing trail bars, cell phone or map.
Sustainability
The independent organization Fair Wear Foundation monitors working conditions in the textile industry worldwide and constantly improves them.
Mulesing free describes a type of sheep farming in which the animals are spared the painful procedure of mulesing. Mulesing involves removing folds of skin around the animals' tails, sometimes without anesthesia, and this controversial procedure is used to prevent possible parasitic infestations. However, this technique is not used on animals from strictly controlled Mulesing free farms. Instead, they rely on close-meshed health monitoring to prevent parasite infestations and diseases. This increases the well-being and quality of life of the sheep, making Merino wool with the Mulesing free label the best choice for anyone who wants to support pain-free sheep husbandry and breeding.
Since 1995, merino wool has been an integral component of ORTOVOX’s mountainwear. The merino wool comes from selected farms that comply with the OWP wool standard: the ORTOVOX WOOL PROMISE. ORTOVOX obtains its virgin wool from certified and ethical sheep farms. These farms are regularly monitored within the framework of the OWP. The wool is naturally 100% ecological and therefore super sustainable. Thanks to the small-diameter fibers in its fine woolen threads, merino wool feels extremely soft and comfortable on the skin. In addition to comfort, merino wool also provides an ideal personal body climate by regulating both moisture and temperature. It is also easy to care for and, thanks to its antibacterial effect, odor neutralizing.
