Ortovox Snowboard Clothing

Frequently Asked Questions

• What sets Ortovox snowboard clothing apart from other alpine apparel?

  Ortovox pairs high-performance technical membranes like Dermizax NX with natural fibers—merino and Swisswool—to deliver climate-regulating warmth, odor resistance, and moisture management. The Ortovox Wool Promise (OWP) ensures traceable, animal‑friendly sourcing and carbon‑neutral wool, while construction techniques like circular knitting and targeted stretch panels optimize anatomical fit and freedom of movement.
• How should Ortovox snowboard clothing fit when I plan to layer for cold, windy conditions?

  Ortovox garments often use a regular or anatomically circular‑knit fit that allows full range of motion; you should size so you can comfortably wear a base layer and midlayer underneath without restricting shoulder and hip movement. Pay attention to stretch inserts, sleeve length, and hood compatibility so shells close over insulating layers and cuffs/gaiters seal against snow.
• Are Ortovox merino and Swisswool garments sustainable and repairable?

  Yes, Ortovox emphasizes sustainability through the Ortovox Wool Promise for traceability and animal welfare and uses Swisswool for climate‑regulated insulation; many garments feature durable construction and abrasion‑resistant panels. The brand’s 2nd Life program supports repairs and recycling to extend product life and reduce waste, complementing the natural longevity of wool materials.
