More informationWhat Is an Insulated Ski Jacket and What Are the Options?
An insulated ski jacket is essential for anyone seeking warmth and comfort while skiing or snowboarding. The insulation helps maintain your body temperature, even in the harshest conditions. There are different types of insulation, each with its own advantages. In this guide, we explain the differences so you can make the perfect choice.
Down Insulation: Lightweight and Extremely Warm
A jacket insulated with down is the ideal choice for those looking for maximum warmth without sacrificing comfort. Down provides excellent insulation and is very lightweight, making it perfect for cold, dry conditions. However, keep in mind that down performs less well in wet conditions unless the jacket has been specially treated to resist moisture.
Wool Insulation: Natural and Breathable
Jackets with wool insulation offer a natural alternative. Wool is not only warm but also breathable and retains heat even when damp. This option is ideal for those who prefer natural materials and comfort in varying weather conditions.
Synthetic Insulation: Versatile and Low-Maintenance
Synthetic insulation, such as PrimaLoft or Thinsulate, offers excellent warmth and performs well in wet conditions. This option is often slightly heavier than down but dries quickly and is easier to care for. It’s ideal for active winter sports enthusiasts who value versatility and affordability.
Why Choose an Insulated Ski Jacket?
-
Optimal Warmth: Protect yourself against extreme cold.
-
Comfort During Activity: Maintain your freedom of movement without sacrificing insulation.
-
Suitable for Various Weather Conditions: Whether you're skiing in powder snow or braving a cold wind, an insulated jacket adapts to your needs.
Which Insulation Suits You Best?
The right insulation depends on your personal preferences and the conditions in which you’ll wear the jacket. Looking for ultimate warmth and comfort? Go for down. Need a versatile, low-maintenance option? Consider synthetic materials. Or choose wool for a natural feel.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE:
1. Check your items
√ Has the return period of 14 days after receipt not expired
√ Is the yellow return label (in the case of outerwear and trousers) and all price tags still attached?
√ Is the article unworn and therefore not dirty, damaged or creased?
2. Submit your return online
Enter your own postcode and the full order number (including letters) in the portal to which you can start the return. You can choose to purchase a DPD shipping label via the portal. If you choose this option, print the shipping label. You can download this immediately and it will also be sent to you by e-mail (please check your e-mail address and any spam mail).
You can also choose another carrier outside the portal. We always advise you to send the parcel insured. The DPD label via the portal insures your parcel up to €500.
3. Pack your return
√ Fold the items neatly and close all zips and buttons. Because of the technical materials it is important not to cause serious creases and wrinkles, as these can damage the product.
Then pack the items back in their original packaging and put them in the shipping bag or box. Another bag or box is also fine, as long as it is sturdy so that it arrives undamaged
√ If you have items from several orders that you wish to return, you may simply return them in 1 parcel
√ Put the enclosed packing slip/order confirmation (or a copy) in the parcel
√ Stick the DPD shipping label on the parcel.

- Recycled merino wool padding on back of hand
- Double-layered goatskin palm, reinforced thumb
- MERINO FLEECE GRID lining, waffle inner structure
- No membrane: water-resistant, not waterproof
- Mitten form limits finger work on bindings
- Goatskin and wool: not an animal-free option
The ORTOVOX Full Leather Mitten Men is a warm goatskin mitten built for ski touring, freeride and high-alpine days in cold, dry snow. Its insulation is wool-based: recycled merino wool padding across the back of the hand and a MERINO FLEECE GRID lining inside. The palm is double-layered goatskin with reinforcements on thumb and index finger, so skins, poles and rock contact do not wear it through in a season.
Who is this mitten for?
The Full Leather Mitten Men suits a ski tourer or freerider who wants a hard-wearing leather mitten with wool insulation for cold alpine days and accepts the reduced dexterity that a mitten brings. It is less suited to technical climbing and mountaineering, where you need to handle hardware and rope — ORTOVOX places this model at the bottom of its own range for both disciplines. If you need to avoid animal-derived materials, this is not your mitten: the outer is goatskin and both padding and lining contain wool.
How warm and how weatherproof is it?
Warmth comes from padding of 88% recycled merino wool and 12% polyester over the back of the hand, backed by a MERINO FLEECE GRID lining with a waffle structure on the inside that keeps the hand climate stable. The goatskin outer is windproof and water-resistant. There is no membrane in the ORTOVOX Full Leather Mitten Men, so long hours in wet snow or rain are outside its range — this is a mitten for cold, dry snow. Net weight is 212 g.
Which size should you choose?
The Full Leather Mitten Men has a regular fit. Measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and match that figure to the men's glove size chart on this page; the men's and women's scales differ at the same letter size. The neoprene cuff closes with hook and loop over or under a jacket sleeve.
How is the ORTOVOX Full Leather Mitten Men constructed?
The shell is 100% goatskin leather, doubled on the palm and reinforced on the thumb and index finger — the three areas that see the most abrasion from poles, skins, edges and rock. Insulation sits on the back of the hand and is made of 88% recycled merino wool with 12% polyester. Against the skin is a MERINO FLEECE GRID lining of 66% polyester, 21% merino wool, 7% polyamide and 6% elastane, with a waffle structure on the inside that lifts the fabric off the skin and moves moisture away from it. A neoprene cuff with a hook-and-loop fastener closes the mitten at the wrist, and a pull-on aid helps you get it on with cold fingers. Net weight: 212 g.
Is the Full Leather Mitten Men right for ski touring and freeride?
Yes — that is what it is built around. On a tour the mitten form keeps the whole hand in one warm chamber, which is what you want on a cold ridge or a long descent, and the carabiner loop on the ring finger plus the connection clip let you park both mittens on your harness or pack at a transition. A removable wrist leash stops a mitten disappearing down a slope when you take it off. Where it stops is detail work: operating bindings, buckles, a camera or a phone means taking the mitten off, and on technical climbing or mountaineering ground a five-finger glove is the better tool. ORTOVOX itself positions this model lowest in its range for those two disciplines.
What do the materials mean for durability?
Goatskin is a dense, supple leather that keeps grip on poles and ice axes and resists abrasion far better than a textile shell, which is why the ORTOVOX Full Leather Mitten Men is a multi-season purchase rather than a one-winter one. The doubled palm layer and the thumb and index reinforcements target the points that fail first. The elastane in the MERINO FLEECE GRID lining lets it follow the hand instead of twisting inside the mitten, and the merino content in both lining and padding keeps the hand climate even and limits odour build-up over repeated days out. The leather is water-resistant rather than waterproof, so after wet days the mitten should be dried away from direct heat to keep the leather supple. Country of origin: Vietnam.
What makes the insulation more sustainable?
The padding on the back of the hand is made with 88% recycled merino wool, so the warmth in this mitten comes largely from fibre that has already had a first life rather than from virgin material.
