A lined jacket contains a filling of down, wool or synthetic material.
What 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.

The ORTOVOX Men Tour Compression Long Socks are long-shaft merino compression socks built for ski touring and multi-hour alpine ascents. They pair a knit of 61% polyamide, 37% virgin merino wool and 2% elastane with graduated Class 1 compression — 15–21 mmHg, in line with the European CEN standard — that sits firmer at the ankle than at the calf. Each sock is knitted for one specific foot, left or right.
Who are the ORTOVOX Men Tour Compression Long Socks for?
These socks suit ski tourers and alpinists who spend hours climbing in a boot and want mild compression to delay leg fatigue. They also carry over to resort skiing and freeriding. They are not for anyone who has been advised against graduated compression garments for medical reasons, and not for riders who want a loose sock or extra room inside an already tight boot. If you prefer a short or ankle-length sock, this is the wrong model: the shaft is long by design.
How much compression do these ORTOVOX socks apply?
Class 1 compression means mild pressure of 15–21 mmHg, strongest at the ankle and easing towards the calf. That is a sports sock, not a medical compression garment. The foot panel uses a 360-degree mesh knit for ventilation, with padded zones at heel and toe, an ankle stabilisation zone and an elastic cuff that holds the shaft in place. Stated weight is 65 g.
Which size of the ORTOVOX Tour Compression Long Socks should you choose?
Sizing runs in shoe-size bands: 39/41, 42/44 and 45/47. Pick the band your shoe size falls into; with three broad bands there is no finer adjustment than that. A compression sock sits deliberately close to the leg and foot, so the snug feel is the function rather than a size error. Check the left and right marking before pulling them on — the two socks are shaped differently.
How are the ORTOVOX Men Tour Compression Long Socks constructed?
The ORTOVOX Men Tour Compression Long Socks use a flat knit, which keeps the fabric from creasing or forming pressure points under a stiff boot cuff. The toe seam is flat for the same reason. Compression is graduated: the pressure is higher around the ankle and decreases up the calf, within Class 1 of the European CEN standard at 15–21 mmHg. An ankle stabilisation zone and an elastic cuff hold the sock in position, while padded heel and toe areas add cushioning at the two points a touring boot loads hardest. The 2% elastane keeps the knit returning to shape after each day out.
Are these socks suitable for a full day of ski touring?
Long ascents are the reason this sock exists. On a multi-hour climb in a touring boot, the mild graduated pressure and the right/left specific shaping are aimed at keeping the leg fresher for longer, and the 360-degree mesh knit across the foot moves air where sweat collects first. The same construction works for high alpine days, resort skiing and freeriding. Where it stops: the mesh foot is ventilated rather than insulated, so this is not the sock for standing still in deep cold or for expedition use. It also will not create space — in a boot that is already tight on volume, a compressive sock is the wrong direction.
What are the ORTOVOX Men Tour Compression Long Socks made of and how do you care for them?
The main material is 61% polyamide, 37% virgin wool (merino) and 2% elastane. The high polyamide share carries the abrasion where the boot rubs, the merino handles moisture and temperature regulation and keeps odour down over consecutive days, and the elastane maintains the compressive tension. Because the pressure gradient depends on the elastic structure of the knit, follow the care label on the sock and avoid treatments that break down elastane. Weight is listed at 65 g. The socks are made in Italy.
How sustainably are these socks made?
The ORTOVOX Men Tour Compression Long Socks are produced in a supply chain belonging to a Fair Wear Foundation member, the organisation that audits working conditions in garment factories. The style is declared free of non-textile parts of animal origin.
