Alright, so the name sounds like it should be written on a toilet door in an Essex boozer – but look past that and this hybrid jacket really is an extraordinary bit of kit. At just 272g for the men's medium size, it's amazingly lightweight, and covers an awful lot of bases. The core material is a silky merino fleece in an insulating grid knit, with a waffle textured lining that feels soft on your skin. Core, shoulders and hood are armoured up with windproof and water-resistant Tec-Stretch panels, and the self-adjusting hood moves with you. The stretchy material means the Ladiz is cut for a close fit while still giving you maximum flexibility, and elastic edging at the cuffs, hem and hood will lock out those biting mountain winds. Layer it under your waterproof for insulation, or wear it on its own as a windproof shell

How to measure correctly?
If you’ve spent much time in the Alps, chances are you’ve seen a lot of folk sporting Ortovox kit. It’s one of the biggest and most well-respected brands in Austria and Germany, backed up by the kind of mountain heritage that most companies can only dream of.
Ortovox started out more than 40 years ago making avalanche transceivers and other rescue equipment, and to this day they’re still the go-to outfitters for mountain rescue teams, alpine guides and extreme mountaineers. Get your hands on an Ortovox pack or garment and you’ll soon see why. The construction and quality of this stuff is on a whole different level, right down to tiny details like the buckles and merino mesh inserts. It’s gear you can rely on day-in, day-out, in seriously spicy conditions – and thousands of mountain professionals genuinely do just that.
Ortovox kit has a very distinctive, technical look – and their background in mountain safety means they’re big on bright colours that make you easy to spot in an emergency. But the materials bear closer inspection too. They’re huge champions of the properties of natural wool, and they’ve been using it in performance mountain gear since the 80s – putting them streets ahead of other manufacturers who are only just rediscovering nature’s original miracle fibre. As a bonus, this also makes their products very environmentally friendly, and the entire winter range is now climate neutral.
