A lined jacket contains a filling of down, wool or synthetic material.
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!

- 26% merino fleece, regulates on long ascents
- Washable goatskin palm with punchhole grip
- Leather index finger for touchscreen use
- No membrane: limited in wet snow
- No insulation fill, too light for standing still
- Athletic cut leaves no room for a liner glove
The ORTOVOX Fleece Light Glove Men is a lightweight stretch fleece glove with 26% merino in the outer fabric and a goatskin leather palm, built for ski touring and high-alpine ascents. At around 60 grams it puts breathability, grip and finger mobility ahead of waterproofing, so it belongs on the climb rather than on a cold chairlift. A leather insert on the index finger lets you use a touchscreen without pulling the glove off.
Who is the ORTOVOX Fleece Light Glove Men for?
This glove suits ski tourers and alpinists who work hard on the ascent and want a thin, close-fitting hand layer that moves sweat out fast. It is not a descent glove: ORTOVOX places the Fleece Light Glove at the very bottom of its own range for freeride and for climbing and belaying, and there is no membrane and no insulation fill. Plan on carrying a warmer, waterproof glove for the way down or for standing still in the cold. If you avoid animal-derived materials, note that the palm and index finger inserts are goatskin leather.
How warm and weatherproof is this fleece glove?
Warmth in the ORTOVOX Fleece Light Glove Men comes from an elastic fleece of 67% polyester, 26% virgin wool (merino) and 7% elastane, with no insulation behind it. Wind and water resistance come from that fabric alone, not from a membrane, which keeps breathability high on dry, moderate days and clearly limits the glove in wet snow or heavy snowfall. The merino content keeps regulating temperature when the fleece is damp with sweat, and the fabric dries quickly.
Which size should you choose?
ORTOVOX labels the cut of the Fleece Light Glove Men as athletic, so it sits close to the hand with very little slack. Measure the circumference of your palm and compare it with the men's glove size chart on this page; that is the reliable way to pick a size here. The close cut leaves no room for a liner glove underneath, so choose by hand circumference alone.
How is the ORTOVOX Fleece Light Glove Men built?
The ORTOVOX Fleece Light Glove Men is a single-material glove: an elastic fleece of 67% polyester, 26% virgin wool (merino) and 7% elastane forms the whole body, and 100% goatskin leather covers the palm and the index finger. The stretch in the fleece comes from the elastane, which is why the glove follows the hand around a ski pole, a skin or a ski binding without bunching. Punchhole reinforcement across the leather palm adds grip and keeps the contact area durable for repeated ski-touring use. A pull-on aid helps you get the glove on quickly with cold fingers, and the whole glove weighs about 60 grams.
Is the ORTOVOX Fleece Light Glove Men suitable for ski touring?
Ski touring is exactly where the ORTOVOX Fleece Light Glove Men belongs. On a skinning ascent your hands produce heat and moisture, and a membrane-free fleece lets both escape instead of trapping them. The leather palm gives you grip on poles and on bindings and skins at a transition, and the leather insert on the index finger means you can check a map, a watch or a phone without baring your hand. High-alpine ascents and other aerobic mountain days in dry, moderate conditions work the same way. The glove stops at the top of the climb: without a membrane and without insulation fill it is not built for wet snow, for long descents or for inactive hours in severe cold, and ORTOVOX itself rates it lowest in its range for freeride and for climbing. Carry a second, insulated and waterproof glove for those parts of the day.
What materials are used and how do you look after them?
The merino content in the ORTOVOX Fleece Light Glove Men is a functional choice rather than a comfort claim: wool keeps regulating moisture and temperature when the fleece is wet with sweat, and it resists odour over several days on a hut tour. The polyester gives the fleece its structure and quick drying, the elastane its recovery. The goatskin leather palm is washable, so sweat and ski wax residue on the grip area do not end the glove's life. Treat the glove as a part-leather item: leather needs to dry slowly at room temperature, away from a radiator or a stove, or it stiffens. Because the glove contains non-textile parts of animal origin, keep washing gentle and never force-dry it.
What does ORTOVOX do about responsible production?
The wool in the ORTOVOX Fleece Light Glove Men is sourced under the ORTOVOX WOOL PROMISE (OWP), the brand's own standard for animal welfare and traceability in its wool supply. Production takes place at FAIR WEAR FOUNDATION (FWF) member facilities, which covers working conditions in the factories that make the glove. The glove is made in China.
