Meer informatieWhat 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.
Our premium ski jackets combine functionality, style, and top quality, so you can fully enjoy your winter sports adventure. Explore our collection and find your perfect insulated ski jacket!

- Goatskin leather palm with Sympatex membrane
- Padding from recycled merino wool cuttings
- Dual width adjustment at wrist and cuff
- Padded leather palm limits fine dexterity
- Too warm and bulky for fast uphill touring
- Contains goatskin leather and wool
The ORTOVOX Merino Mountain Glove W is an insulated women's winter glove for freeride and cold-weather skiing, built around a two-layer goatskin leather upper backed with a windproof, waterproof and breathable Sympatex membrane. Its defining detail is the insulation: padding made from recycled merino wool scrap cuttings, with 100% merino wool placed directly against the skin. At 152 grams it is a protective, hard-wearing glove rather than a thin, dexterous one.
Who is the Merino Mountain Glove W for?
This ORTOVOX glove suits a woman skiing off-piste and lift-served terrain in cold, wet mountain conditions who wants leather durability and wool warmth over fine finger feel. ORTOVOX positions it at the very bottom of its own range for climbing and low for ski touring and mountaineering, so look elsewhere if you need rope handling, ice-axe work or a glove for fast, sweaty climbs. It also contains goatskin leather and wool, so it is not an option if you avoid animal-derived materials.
How warm and weatherproof is this glove?
Warmth comes from three wool layers: merino padding, a 100% merino inner lining and a FLEECE LIGHT GRID second lining with 24% merino for temperature and moisture regulation. The Sympatex membrane in the two-layer upper blocks wind and water, while the goatskin palm keeps grip when wet.
Which size should you choose?
The Merino Mountain Glove W has a regular, five-finger fit. Measure your hand circumference and compare it with the size chart on this page. The wool padding fills more of the hand than an unlined shell glove, so if you are between two measurements, take the larger size to keep circulation free.
How is the ORTOVOX Merino Mountain Glove W constructed?
The ORTOVOX Merino Mountain Glove W uses a two-layer upper: 100% goatskin leather on the outside, laminated to a Sympatex membrane made of 100% polyester. The membrane is windproof, waterproof and breathable, which means moisture from the hand can move outwards while snow, meltwater and wind stay outside. Inside sits a padding of recycled merino wool scrap cuttings (50% recycled merino wool, 38% merino wool, 12% polyester), followed by two linings: 100% virgin merino wool next to the skin and a FLEECE LIGHT GRID layer of 68% polyester, 24% merino wool and 8% polyamide. The whole glove weighs 152 grams.
Is this glove right for freeride and piste skiing?
Freeride is where this glove belongs. ORTOVOX places the Merino Mountain Glove W at the top of its own range for freeriding and in the lower part for ski touring, high-alpine use, mountaineering and climbing. On lift-served pistes and in off-piste terrain, the leather palm takes abrasion from edges, poles and skins, the membrane handles wet snow, and the dual width adjustment at the wrist and cuff plus the elasticated hem lets you close the glove over or under a jacket sleeve. Where it stops: technical terrain. Padding plus leather reduces finger feel, so knots, carabiners and buckles are slow work, and on sustained high-output climbs the wool-and-leather build runs warm and bulky.
What are the materials and how do you look after them?
Goatskin leather gives this glove its abrasion resistance and its grip, including when the palm is wet; ORTOVOX states that the goatskin leather palm is washable. Wool does the thermal work: merino keeps insulating when damp, and the FLEECE LIGHT GRID lining regulates temperature and moisture over long days. Because the Merino Mountain Glove W combines leather, a membrane and wool, treat it as a leather glove rather than a synthetic one, keep it away from direct heat sources when drying, and let it dry at room temperature so the leather stays supple.
What makes the Merino Mountain Glove W sustainable?
The wool in this ORTOVOX glove is covered by the ORTOVOX Wool Promise (OWP), the brand's own standard for animal welfare and wool traceability. Production follows Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) criteria. The padding is 50% recycled merino wool, made from wool scrap cuttings that would otherwise be waste, which keeps a functional fibre in use instead of replacing it with new material.
