Ravine is Ortovox's freeride line, and the Free 3L Jacket is its loose-fitting hardshell. The RAVINE 3L laminate pairs a non-porous polyurethane membrane, which is durable and easy to care for, with an outer face of 51% recycled polyamide, and the back panel is built with warming merino inside. The DWR finish is PFAS-free.
A non-porous membrane is tough and low-maintenance, and it moves air more slowly than an ultralight air-permeable shell. Ortovox's answer is ventilation you control: long zips you open on the climb and close for the descent.
It is for freeriders and touring skiers who want room to move and weather protection that holds up to a full season. If you want the warmest, most technical hardshell in the range, look at the Ravine Plus.
The fit is loose by design, so it layers over insulation without pulling across the shoulders. The hood adjusts two ways and fits over a helmet, the snow guard removes, and there are dedicated pockets for a ski pass, phone and goggles.
This is the shell we hand to someone who wants one jacket for storm days, sidecountry laps and everything past the gate.
