The Ortovox Swisswool Vest Piz Boe is made from Swiss virgin wool in an even thinner, lighter version. The wool insulation vest is not only light, but can also be packed very small, making it ideal for ski tours and mountaineering as a warm midlayer or as an outer layer when climbing.
Ortovox uses the elastic Airsolation stretch inserts on the back shoulder area and the wind and snow-proof PERTEX® QUANTUM is used as the outer material for the insulation. Ortovox developed the Piz Boe vest for demanding alpinists who value the best heat retention even in wet conditions. The close-fitting, elastic hood protects the head from cooling down quickly. Two front pockets are positioned so that they can be used optimally even when wearing a backpack and can also accommodate large items.
