Ortovox Bike

Frequently Asked Questions

• What sets the Ortovox SEQUENCE Mountainbike collection apart from other MTB apparel?

  The SEQUENCE collection is a simplicity-first concept that blends Ortovox’s mountaineering DNA with trail- and enduro-focused details like strategic pocket placement, robust fabrics, and reliable ventilation. Key materials—merino wool blended with TENCEL™ for climate regulation—and technical partnerships such as GORE‑TEX shells and SQlab collaborations prioritize comfort, durability, and function on long climbs and technical descents.
• Which SEQUENCE pieces should I choose for trail and enduro riding?

  For mixed trail and enduro use, start with SEQUENCE Mountainbike shorts for durable, breathable coverage and jerseys or long-sleeves made from merino/TENCEL blends for climate control during sweaty climbs. Add a SEQUENCE shell with GORE‑TEX when you need hard‑wearing weather protection, and complement the kit with knee pads and protective layers for technical descents.
• How should I size SEQUENCE Mountainbike shorts and jerseys for the best fit?

  Ortovox sizing can vary by cut, so use the Ortovox size charts and your chest, waist, and hip measurements as your primary guide. SEQUENCE is designed for high freedom of movement—if you prefer a layered fit, size up slightly for jerseys; for shorts, prioritize hip and crotch comfort to avoid restriction on technical climbs. If you’re between sizes, choose based on how much room you want for base layers and movement.
• How do SEQUENCE Mountainbike shorts compare to XC‑focused or freeride shorts?

  SEQUENCE Mountainbike shorts strike a balance between the lightweight breathability of XC shorts and the tougher construction of freeride models—offering more durable fabrics, reinforced seams, and purposeful pockets for trail essentials. Compared with XC‑specific shorts they’re a touch more robust and pocketed; compared with heavy freeride shorts they remain lighter and more ventilated for long climbs and endurance rides.
• Are SEQUENCE fabrics and construction durable enough for frequent, intensive mountain biking use?

  Yes, SEQUENCE pieces are built from high‑quality, robust fabrics with cleanly finished seams and reinforced areas designed to withstand abrasion from hip bags and repeated use. GORE‑TEX shells bring durable water‑resistance where specified, while merino/TENCEL blends maintain comfort and climate regulation; following the garment care instructions will help preserve performance over time.
