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

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

- 94 g wool knit with merino/modal inner lining
- 80% virgin wool outer plus 20% recycled wool
- Made in Germany, FAIR WEAR FOUNDATION member
- Bobble stops it sitting flat under a helmet
- Knitted wool: no membrane, not rain or windproof
- Wool knit dries slower than synthetic fleece
The ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie is a medium-thick knitted wool beanie with a bobble, built for ski touring and freeride days and still right at home in the valley afterwards. The outer knit is 80% virgin wool and 20% recycled wool, and a separate inner lining of merino wool and TENCEL MODAL sits against your forehead and ears. It weighs 94 grams in its single unisex size and carries a knitted snowflake pattern with ORTOVOX lettering.
Who is the ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie for?
This beanie suits the ski tourer or freerider who wants wool on the head on the way up and a hat that still works for the drive home, the walk to the lift and everyday winter use. It is not the beanie for anyone who needs headwear under a ski or climbing helmet: the bobble and the medium-thick knit stop it sitting flat. There is no RECCO reflector on this style, so it is not part of your safety equipment.
How warm is the ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie?
Warmth in the ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie comes from two wool layers rather than a membrane: a medium-thick outer knit of 80% virgin wool and 20% recycled wool, plus a lining of 47% merino wool, 47% modal and 6% polyamide. Wool keeps insulating when it takes up moisture from the skin, which is what you want on a climb. There is no membrane and no water-repellent finish, so sustained rain, wet snow and hard, cold wind need other headwear.
Which size should you choose?
The ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie comes in one unisex size (OSFA), so there is no size decision to make. The knitted body covers the head and ears with the merino and modal lining directly on the skin, and the bobble sits on the crown. Plan on wearing it over your hood or next to the skin, not under a shell helmet.
How is the ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie constructed?
The ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie is a two-part build. The outside is a medium-thick knit of 80% virgin wool and 20% recycled wool, patterned with knitted snowflakes and the ORTOVOX lettering. Inside sits a separate lining of 47% virgin merino wool, 47% modal (TENCEL MODAL) and 6% polyamide, so the surface against your skin is a finer fabric than the structural outer knit. There is no membrane, no laminate and no insulation filling in this beanie; the insulating work is done by the air held in the wool knit and by the second layer of the lining. Total weight is 94 grams.
Is the ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie suitable for ski touring?
Ski touring is what this beanie is aimed at. On a climb your head produces a lot of heat and moisture, and an unlaminated wool knit lets that air move out instead of trapping it against the lining, while the wool keeps working when it is damp. On the descent it keeps the head warm as long as the weather stays dry. Where the ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie stops is clear: the bobble and the knit thickness rule out wearing it under a ski or climbing helmet, so for lift-served days and for anything on a rope it is the hat you put on at the top or at the car, not the one you ski in. In driving rain, wet snow or strong wind it needs help, because a knit has neither a membrane nor a windproof layer.
What are the materials and how do you look after it?
Wool makes up the great majority of the ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie: 80% virgin wool with 20% recycled wool on the outside, and a merino-and-modal lining with 6% polyamide for strength. Modal gives the lining a smooth face, and the small polyamide share helps the inner fabric hold its shape through repeated wear. Wool also resists odour build-up, which matters on multi-day tours. Bear in mind that a wool knit takes up moisture and dries more slowly than a synthetic fleece beanie, so after a sweaty ascent give it time and air before it goes back in the pack. Wash and dry it as set out on the label inside the beanie, and dry it flat rather than on a radiator so the knit keeps its shape.
What makes the ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie sustainable?
The ORTOVOX Nordic Knit Beanie is made in Germany and produced under ORTOVOX's FAIR WEAR FOUNDATION membership, which covers working conditions in the supply chain. One fifth of the outer knit is recycled wool, and the beanie contains no non-textile parts of animal origin. Wool is the functional choice here rather than a decorative one: it regulates temperature and moisture on the head, which is the single part of the body you adjust most often during a day in the mountains.
