For over thirty years, ORTOVOX has been a pioneer in the use of Merino wool. Originating in Tasmania, this exceptional wool comes from sheep raised in optimal conditions, guaranteeing a natural fiber of incomparable quality. True to its commitment to performance and the well-being of its users, ORTOVOX systematically integrates this fine, technical wool into its fleece garments, offering an ideal combination of warmth, breathability and comfort for all seasons and activities.

Unique technology for versatile use

Unlike other brands, which rarely use merino wool in their fleece garments, ORTOVOX has made it an essential element. Thanks to innovative material combinations and tailored finishes, merino fleece becomes a versatile garment that integrates perfectly as a second layer. Whether for high-mountain adventures, forest hikes or simply everyday use, these garments ensure optimum thermoregulation and exceptional comfort all year round.
