What 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!

- Seamless: no shoulder seams under pack straps
- 120 g/m2 merino, 16.5 micron fibre, 134 g total
- Mesh knit zones under arms and across the chest
- No membrane: no wind or weather protection
- 120 g/m2 is light - little warmth when static
- Athletic cut: no room for a layer underneath
The ORTOVOX 120 Comp Light Hoody W is a women's long-sleeve merino base layer with a hood, made for high-output mountain days in winter and summer. It is produced in a seamless circular knitting process, so there are no side or shoulder seams running under a pack strap. The main zones are knitted in a 120 g/m2 merino fabric and the whole hoody weighs 134 grams.
Who is the ORTOVOX 120 Comp Light Hoody W for?
This is a first layer for a woman who moves fast and sweats hard: ski touring, mountaineering, freeride and climbing, worn directly against the skin under a midlayer and a shell. It is not an outer layer. There is no membrane and no wind protection, so it does not belong on the outside in wind, rain or snow. It is also not the piece to rely on when you are standing still in deep cold.
How breathable is the ORTOVOX 120 Comp Light Hoody W?
Breathability comes from the knit itself rather than from a membrane. ORTOVOX places different knit structures and material thicknesses per body zone, with open mesh structures under the arms and across the chest where heat builds up first. The merino fibre measures 16.5 micron and the main zones are 120 g/m2 - the light end of the merino base-layer range, which keeps moisture moving but gives little standing-around warmth.
Which size should you choose in the ORTOVOX 120 Comp Light Hoody W?
The 120 Comp Light Hoody W has an athletic, close cut that is meant to sit against the skin, and the hood is close-fitting as well; worn down it works as a neck tube. The ORTOVOX fit model is 1.74 m tall and wears size M. Compare your chest, waist and hip measurements with the size chart on this page. If you want a roomy base layer, or want to wear something underneath it, this cut will not suit you.
How is the ORTOVOX 120 Comp Light Hoody W constructed?
The ORTOVOX 120 Comp Light Hoody W is knitted as a single tube on a circular knitting machine, which removes the seams that normally run down the sides and over the shoulders. That matters where a rucksack strap, a harness belt or a shell shoulder sits for hours. Within that one piece, the knit changes: body mapping places denser 120 g/m2 merino in the main zones and open mesh structures under the arms and in the chest area. The fabric is elastic, so it follows the shoulder and arm movement of skinning, climbing and poling without pulling out of the waistband.
Is the ORTOVOX 120 Comp Light Hoody W suitable for ski touring?
Yes - a long climb at a steady heart rate is exactly what this base layer is built around. At 134 grams it adds almost nothing to the layering system, the mesh zones sit where sweat appears first, and the hood pulls up under a cap or down into a neck tube when you stop to transition. Where it stops is equally clear: this women's merino base layer carries no weather protection of its own, so a shell stays mandatory once the wind picks up, and on a static day at a lift or a cold belay 120 g/m2 of merino will not be enough warmth on its own. The fine-gauge knit with mesh panels is also less snag- and abrasion-resistant than a heavier base-layer fabric, so rough rock and loaded harness gear will mark it faster.
What is the ORTOVOX 120 Comp Light Hoody W made of, and how do you look after it?
The main fabric is 70% virgin wool (merino) with 30% polyamide. The merino fibre is 16.5 micron, a fine gauge that is what allows a next-to-skin garment at this weight; the polyamide share carries the structure and the stretch of the knit and gives the fine jersey something to hold on to. Because the piece is seamless there are no stitched seams to fail, but a lightweight knit still rewards care: wash it on a wool programme with a wool-suitable detergent, close it before washing, and follow the care label sewn into the garment. Reshape it flat and let it dry rather than tumbling it.
What does ORTOVOX do around wool and production?
The wool in the ORTOVOX 120 Comp Light Hoody W falls under the ORTOVOX Wool Promise (OWP), the brand's own framework for animal welfare and traceability in its wool supply. Production runs under the Fair Wear Foundation (FWF), and the hoody is made in Europe - manufactured in Poland. It contains no non-textile parts of animal origin.
