A padded jacket or pants contains a filling of down, wool, or synthetic material.
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.

- 100% OWP-Merino against the skin on the palm
- Leather palm reaches past the fingertips
- Smart finger: phone or GPS with gloves on
- Thin merino lining: too cool for static cold
- Water-resistant only, not for long wet snow
- Goatskin leather, so not a leather-free option
The ORTOVOX Tour Glove Women is a lightweight softshell glove for ski touring, built around a windproof, water-resistant outer fabric, a 100% merino lining on the palm side and a goatskin leather palm. At 90 grams it is made for moving uphill: dexterous and breathable rather than thickly padded. The leather extends past the fingertips, so your grip on poles and ice axes stays precise.
Who is the ORTOVOX Tour Glove Women for?
This glove suits a woman who skins uphill on long ascents and on high alpine tours, and who wants wind protection, breathability and feel in the fingers instead of bulk. It also works for the occasional freeride day in cold, dry snow. It is not the glove for standing still in the cold on long chairlift days or while belaying, and ORTOVOX places it at the bottom of its own range for climbing. Technical mountaineering asks for a more reinforced, more weatherproof glove. Because the palm inserts are goatskin leather, it is also not an option if you avoid leather.
How warm and weatherproof is this touring glove?
The ORTOVOX Tour Glove Women combines a softshell face fabric of 85% polyamide and 15% elastane with a 100% polyurethane membrane. That blocks wind and sheds light snow, but the outer is water-resistant, not waterproof, so sustained wet snow, rain or sleet will eventually get through. Warmth comes from the lining rather than from an insulation filling: 100% virgin wool (OWP-Merino) against the skin on the palm side, a blend of 68% polyester, 24% virgin wool and 8% polyamide on the back of the hand, and elastic MERINO FLEECE LIGHT over the pulse at the wrist. Fleece inserts between the fingers help moisture escape on the climb.
Which size should you choose?
Measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and compare it with the women's glove size chart on this page. A touring glove should sit close for dexterity on buckles, skins and zips; the merino lining is thin, so do not plan on wearing a liner glove underneath. If your measurement falls between two sizes and you want more finger feel, take the smaller one.
How is the ORTOVOX Tour Glove Women constructed?
The ORTOVOX Tour Glove Women is a softshell glove rather than a hardshell one. A 100% polyurethane membrane sits behind the stretch outer fabric and keeps wind out while letting vapour move, and goatskin leather inserts cover the palm. The leather carries punchhole reinforcement and runs beyond the fingertips, which puts grip material exactly where a pole strap, a ski edge or an axe shaft sits. Offset seams move the stitching away from the points that take the most load. The whole glove weighs 90 grams, so there is no insulation filling to compress or to slow you down.
Is the ORTOVOX Tour Glove Women suitable for ski touring?
Ski touring with long ascents is exactly what this glove is for. On the climb, the fleece inserts between the fingers and the breathable softshell shed the heat and moisture a thin insulated glove would trap, and the smart finger lets you follow a GPS track or answer a message without pulling the glove off. The pull-on aid speeds up transitions in the cold. On high alpine tours the leather palm handles rope, axe and pole work. Where it stops is deep static cold and wet weather: with a thin merino lining and a water-resistant outer, a day of lift laps in wet snow is beyond it, and so is technical mountaineering that needs a reinforced, fully weatherproof glove.
What is the ORTOVOX Tour Glove Women made of, and how do you care for it?
The outer fabric is 85% polyamide with 15% elastane, which gives the glove stretch over the knuckles and resists abrasion from skins and bindings. Inside, the palm side is lined with 100% virgin wool (OWP-Merino), so merino sits directly against the skin where you sweat most; wool regulates temperature and moisture and keeps odour down over several days on tour. The back of the hand is lined with a blend of 68% polyester, 24% virgin wool (OWP-Merino) and 8% polyamide, and elastic MERINO FLEECE LIGHT wraps the pulse point at the wrist. The goatskin leather inserts on the palm are washable, which matters on a glove that spends the season in contact with sweat, snow and metal. Keep in mind that repeatedly soaking the leather palm is not what it is built for.
Where does the wool come from?
The merino in the ORTOVOX Tour Glove Women is sourced under the ORTOVOX Wool Promise (OWP), the brand's own programme for animal welfare and traceability in its wool supply chain. It is the same standard ORTOVOX applies across its merino products, and it is the reason the lining is specified as OWP-Merino rather than simply as wool.
