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?

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

- 100% merino outer face, 71 g in total
- Separate lined inner face against the skin
- Vents heat on the climb where a beanie traps it
- Leaves the crown of the head uncovered
- One size only: fits 50-56 cm, nothing outside it
- No membrane, so the wool wets out in rain
The ORTOVOX Pro Headband is a medium-thick merino headband for ski touring and high alpine days, built to cover forehead and ears in one size for head circumferences of 50 to 56 cm. The outer face is 100% merino wool, with a separately lined inner face, and the whole band weighs 71 grams. It is headwear for people who climb warm and want ear cover that can disappear into a pocket.
Who is the ORTOVOX Pro Headband for?
This headband suits ski tourers, high alpine skiers and freeriders who overheat in a full beanie on the way up but still want their ears and forehead covered. ORTOVOX places this piece at the very bottom of its own range for climbing, so if you want one piece of headwear for rock and ice days, look elsewhere. It is also not a substitute for a beanie in severe cold: the crown of your head stays uncovered.
How warm is the ORTOVOX Pro Headband, and does it block wind?
Warmth comes from the knit itself, not from insulation: a medium-thick construction with a 100% merino wool outer and a lined inner face of 68% polyester, 24% merino wool and 8% polyamide. Wool keeps regulating temperature and moisture when you sweat on a climb, which is the point of the merino outer face. There is no membrane and no coating in this headband, so treat it as a knit accessory for cold, dry mountain air rather than as weather protection in rain or wet snow.
Which size of the ORTOVOX Pro Headband should you choose?
The ORTOVOX Pro Headband is made in one size, stated for head circumferences of 50 to 56 cm, in a regular fit. Measure around your forehead, just above the ears, and compare that figure with the range before you order. There is no second size to fall back on.
How is the ORTOVOX Pro Headband constructed?
The ORTOVOX Pro Headband is a two-faced knit headband rather than a laminated shell. The outer face is 100% virgin merino wool, the face that takes the weather and the abrasion from a helmet or a hood. Behind it sits a separate lined inner face of 68% polyester, 24% merino wool and 8% polyamide, the layer that rests against your forehead and ears. ORTOVOX describes the construction as medium-thick, which places it between a thin summer band and a heavy winter knit. Total weight is 71 grams for the single size made.
Is the ORTOVOX Pro Headband suitable for ski touring?
Ski touring and high alpine touring are what this headband is built around. On a climb, a beanie traps heat over the whole skull; a band covers only the two places that actually get cold, the forehead and the ears, and leaves the crown open to dump heat. On the descent, or when the skin track turns into a sheltered valley, 71 grams folds away into a jacket pocket. It also works for freeride days and resort skiing under a helmet, and ORTOVOX rates it mid-range for mountaineering. For climbing, the brand itself puts this product at the bottom of its range. And because there is no membrane or coating anywhere in the build, wool takes up water in rain or wet snow and stays wet.
What is the ORTOVOX Pro Headband made of and how do you look after it?
Two material blocks make up the ORTOVOX Pro Headband: a 100% virgin merino wool outer and an inner face of 68% polyester, 24% merino wool and 8% polyamide. The polyester-dominant inner gives the band its structure and takes the wear from skin contact, while the merino outer does the climate work. Because the outer face is pure wool, handle the band the way you would handle any wool garment: wash gently and cool, keep it away from high heat, and dry it flat rather than on a radiator so the knit holds its shape and the stated 50-56 cm circumference. The headband is made in Germany.
How sustainable is the ORTOVOX Pro Headband?
ORTOVOX declares the Pro Headband free of non-textile parts of animal origin, so the only animal-derived content is the merino wool itself, used here as a functional fibre for temperature and moisture regulation rather than as a comfort finish.
