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

- 100% merino wool outer layer, only 80 g
- Merino and Tencel modal lining on the skin
- Ear cover without the heat of a full beanie
- One size (OSFA) only, no adjustable fit
- Leaves the crown of the head uncovered
- Knit only: no membrane for rain or hard wind
The ORTOVOX Rock'N'Wool Headband is a knitted unisex headband with a 100% merino wool outer layer and a merino/Tencel™ modal lining, built for forehead and ear warmth during cold-weather mountain activity. At 80 g in its single OSFA size, it covers the ears while you move uphill without the heat build-up of a full beanie. This is a knitted accessory with no membrane, so it warms rather than weatherproofs.
Who is the ORTOVOX Rock'N'Wool Headband for?
It suits ski tourers, freeriders and alpine skiers who want their ears protected on the climb and on cold descents, and mountaineers who prefer a low-bulk layer under a helmet or hood. It is not the right choice if you want the crown of your head covered, if you expect protection in sustained rain or wet snow, or if you need a head layer that can be adjusted to your head circumference. ORTOVOX itself positions the Rock'N'Wool Headband away from climbing.
How warm and how breathable is a merino knit headband?
Warmth comes from two knitted layers: a 100% virgin merino wool outer and a lining of 47% virgin merino wool, 47% Tencel™ modal and 6% polyamide. Wool regulates moisture as you work, which matters on a long skin track where a dense synthetic hat traps sweat around the ears. Wind resistance is limited to what a lined wool knit provides, because there is no windproof membrane in the construction.
Which size is the ORTOVOX Rock'N'Wool Headband?
One size (OSFA) in a regular fit, so it sits close over the forehead and ears without clamping. There is no second size and no adjustment, which is worth knowing if your head sits at the far end of the measuring tape. The band is thin enough to wear under a ski helmet or a hood, and it leaves the top of the head free for a helmet liner.
How is the ORTOVOX Rock'N'Wool Headband built?
The ORTOVOX Rock'N'Wool Headband is a two-layer knitted construction rather than a shell. The outside is 100% virgin merino wool, chosen as a working fibre: it moves moisture away from the skin and keeps insulating value when it is damp from sweat or spindrift. Inside sits a separate lining of 47% virgin merino wool, 47% Tencel™ modal and 6% polyamide, which puts a smoother surface against the forehead and ears. The whole band weighs 80 g in its one OSFA size. There is no membrane, no laminate and no coating anywhere in it, which is exactly why it breathes freely and why it should not be asked to do the job of a hood.
Is the ORTOVOX Rock'N'Wool Headband suitable for ski touring?
Ski touring is its main use. On the ascent, a full beanie often comes off within twenty minutes and goes back on at the transition; a knitted band keeps the two parts that actually get cold - forehead and ears - covered, while the crown vents through a helmet or stays bare. It also works for freeride laps, high alpine days and resort skiing under a helmet. Where it stops: long exposure to rain or wet snow, genuinely cold and still conditions where a beanie covering the whole head is the better tool, and strong wind as your only head protection. ORTOVOX rates the band at the bottom of its own scale for climbing, and the copy here says the same.
What is the ORTOVOX Rock'N'Wool Headband made of?
Outer: 100% virgin wool (merino). Lining: 47% virgin wool (merino), 47% modal (Tencel™) and 6% polyamide. The small share of polyamide holds the knitted lining in shape, which matters on a garment that is pulled over the head and stuffed into a pack pocket day after day. Merino and modal are both moisture-managing fibres, so the band resists picking up odour over several days on a hut tour better than most synthetic headwear. The ORTOVOX Rock'N'Wool Headband is made in Germany and comes in eight colourways across the collection, from an undyed beige and a black tone through to brown, green, blue, violet and orange tones. None of the colourways differ in construction, composition or weight.
