With intelligent insulation placement, eco-friendly materials, and a construction built to withstand harsh elements, this jacket combines performance with environmental consciousness.

Key Features

• Swisswool Insulation:
  This jacket uses Swisswool BLACK®, a sustainable and rare wool from black sheep in the Swiss Alps, chosen for its exceptional warmth and moisture-regulating properties. Insulation is varied across the jacket—150 g/m² in the front and upper sleeves for added warmth where you need it most, and 120 g/m² in the hood and lower sleeves to maintain mobility and prevent overheating.

• Robust PERTEX® QUANTUM Outer Material:
  The durable PERTEX® QUANTUM shell is both windproof and water-resistant, with a PFC-free impregnation that keeps moisture at bay while remaining eco-friendly. Known for its high abrasion resistance, this outer layer is built to withstand the demands of rugged freeride terrain.

• Enhanced Comfort and Fit:
  The high collar is lined with MERINO MESH® for softness against the skin, while the width-adjustable cuffs with elastic inner seams easily slip over gloves, sealing out cold and wind. An adjustable hood provides further weather protection, and the ergonomic, regular fit allows ample room for dynamic movement without bulk.

• Environmental Commitment:
  True to Ortovox's sustainability mission, the Swisswool Zinal Jacket is PFC-free, climate-neutral, and crafted with renewable raw materials. The use of Swisswool and recycled polyamide in the lining underscores Ortovox’s dedication to eco-friendly practices, making this jacket a smart choice for conscious adventurers.
