Made for high-velocity freeriders and alpine mountaineers, the Piz Badus lightweight insulated jacket from Ortovox is something a little bit special. Not only does it look great with its funky Tetris-style quilting and its asymmetric front yoke, but it’s lined with Ortovox’s premium-grade ‘Swisswool’ insulation. Compared to synthetic or goose down fill, wool is sustainable, breathable and supremely warm – and even maintains its insulating properties when it gets wet. Ortovox has been championing it for decades, and we predict it won't be long until other brands start waking up to this naturally awesome technical fibre. The shell on the Piz Badus is their very own windproof, water-repellent and flexible 'Tech Stretch' fabric, while elastic merino fleece side panels keep the fit streamlined but supple. Everything’s geared towards flexibility and free movement, making this jacket a winner for high-intensity adventures in chilly conditions

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.
