Ortovox DownWool 180 Hooded Jacket W: Down and wool for ski touring, high-altitude hiking, and mountain huts

Pure down jackets are unbeatably light and warm, but they lose their effectiveness as soon as they get wet. That’s exactly what happens on a ski tour at the summit when you pull the jacket over your wet shirt after the climb. Ortovox That’s why they blend 30% wool with the down: The wool fibers absorb moisture before it causes the down to clump, and according to Ortovox, this gives the down up to 30% more loft. The result is a jacket that stays evenly warm without making you overheat. The 180 is the lightweight version of the DownWool line, designed as an insulating layer under a hardshell or as an outer layer on dry days. The hood can be adjusted for width and height with a single pull; the collar protects your neck; the hem is adjustable for width; and the back is extended so nothing rides up when you bend over. Two front pockets, elastic cuffs, a stuff sack with a securing loop—that’s it.
