DIFF ER COMP ENCE TO AR ORTO ABLE PROD VOX UCTS

MERINO GUARDIAN SHELL is ORTOVOX’s only hardshell with a full merino lining. The 100% merino wool backing ensures excellent temperature management: the wool in the MERINO GUARDIAN SHELL allows moisture to pass through rapidly, which prevents the build-up of an inner layer of moisture and makes the 3L hardshell feel dry on the inside.

This feature is particularly important when outside temperatures are low and demanding climbs are making you sweat.

While moisture often condenses on the insides of jacket models from other providers, the wool in the MERINO GUARDIAN SHELL allows it to absorb and then slowly release large quantities of moisture. This buffer action supports the Dermizax® EV membrane and enables ideal management of temperature and moisture.

The Dermizax® EV functions in the same way as the Dermizax® NX membrane. It is completely waterproof (min. 20,000 mm) and 100 % windproof. It is breathable up to 20,000 g/m²/24 h and therefore perfectly suited for freeriding.

DIFF EREN CE T COMP O ETITO RS

Unlike PTFE membranes, Toray Dermizax® EV is hydrophilic and not hydrophobic. This means that the membrane has no pores.

Instead, it is made up of hygroscopic molecules that transport water outwards. It is based on an adaptive breathability concept: The more you sweat, the quicker the moisture is transported out of the jacket.

This variability also applies to heat retention: In cold temperatures, the hydrophilic membrane feels warmer than a porous membrane as there are no pores and heat cannot be lost. This temperature regulating effect is intensified by the merino backing on the inside of the jacket.

Another advantage of the lack of pores is breathability: in hydrophobic membranes, the build-up of sweat (salt) or dirt can block the pores and reduce breathability. Even with little care, the MERINO GURADIAN SHELL guarantees maximum outward diffusion.

Thanks to the Dermizax® EV membrane used in the MERINO GUARDIAN SHELL, the material feels smooth and is stretchy, which means the hardshell will not become stiff, even in cold temperatures. The material can be stretched in all directions, which is often not the case when it comes to other hardshell designs.

DIFF ER COMP ENCE TO AR ORTO ABLE PROD VOX UCTS

For the MERINO NATURETEC PLUS line, ORTOVOX uses the c_change™ membrane from schoeller: this active membrane is not just wind and waterproof, but also “intelligent”. Like a pine cone that opens when it’s warm outside and closes when the temperature falls, the membrane also reacts immediately to sweat build-up with special moisture and temperature management. This means the membrane’s molecular structure can adapt to different temperatures. If it’s cold, the polymer structure closes. If the body becomes too hot, it opens in order to regulate temperature and sweat production. This mechanism results in insulation properties that are directly matched to the environmental temperature.

Like the Dermizax® membrane, the schoeller’s c_change™ membrane is a non-porous membrane based on an adaptive breathability concept, in which the polymer structure changes in hot and cold temperatures.

DIFFERENCE TO MERINO HARDSHELL However, unlike the MERINO HARDSHELL, the MERINO NATURETEC PLUS material is water-resistant (not waterproof) as the seams are not bonded.

PRODUCTS PORDOI

DIFF EREN CE T COMP O ETITO RS

When it comes to softshell jackets, other manufacturers often fall back on a windproof PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene/Teflon®) membrane.

This membrane has a microporous structure: sweat passes through the pores of the membrane as water vapor and thus provides a comfortable personal climate.

The pores in the PTFE membrane are even larger than those in conventional membranes, so the water vapor molecules can be better transported away.

It blocks wind, just like with the c_change™ membrane. The material is water resistant due to the permanent impregnation of the outer material.

In comparison, the c_change® membrane is a non-porous membrane. This means that it has no pores. Instead, it is based on a polymer structure that has the advantage of an adaptive breathability concept. The membrane can adjust itself perfectly to hot and cold temperatures.

In microporous membranes, the build-up of sweat (salt) or dirt can block the pores and reduce breathability.

100% virgin wool (MERINO) is used on the inside. Polyamide and elastane fibers are combined to make the outer material elastic and robust. This ensemble of fibers makes the fabric elastic, durable and comfortable.

DIFFERENCE TO MERINO NATURETEC AND MERINO NATURETEC LIGHT As in the MERINO NATURETEC LIGHT and MERINO NATURETEC lines, ORTOVOX uses a material composition of polyamide, elastane and merino wool in the MERINO LIGHT SKIN. The difference is in the way that the materials are combined: In the MERINO NATURETEC lines, there is a higher proportion of merino wool on the inside of the fabric (NATURETEC 20% merino wool / NATURETEC LIGHT 18% merino wool). Furthermore, the material is produced by Swiss manufacturer schoeller®. In the MERINO LIGHT SKIN, the material is also woven together so that the merino wool appears on the inside and

DID YOU KNOW ?

ORTOVOX has trusted in wool since 1988: From the first layer right through to the third, the company does not produce a garment without using nature’s most functional fiber.

In 2011, this came to include SWISSWOOL®.

Not many years ago, small businesses in Switzerland earned very little or no money with sheep’s wool. Due to its characteristics, virgin wool cannot be directly woven and therefore cannot get a competitive price on the market. But thanks to its outstanding thermal properties and comfortable microclimate, this type of wool is the perfect natural, high-quality insulation material. This led to the innovative idea behind SWISSWOOL®, which ORTOVOX uses in its insulating products.

PRODUCTS PIZ BERNINA / PIZ BIANCO PIZ GRISCH / PIZ CARTAS DUFOUR LAVARELLA / PIZ BOÉ PIZ PALÜ PIZ ROSEG

In addition to high functionality, SWISSWOOL® is also characterized by its regional origins: the German company Baur, where ORTOVOX sources its nonwoven fabrics, places particular importance on sustainable production and regional origins. That is why there are currently 26 collection points across Switzerland to which even the smallest wool farms can send their wool.

Long transport routes are taboo.

ORTOVOX uses three different weights of this fair-trade and functional virgin wool: 60 g/m², 90 g/m², 120 g/m². In the SWISSWOOL BLACK line, the wool of black sheep is also used: It is seldom used in the industry because white wool is both easier to color and does not show through the outer material when used as a lining. Black wool is often a “waste product”, even though it boasts the same features.

The shirt is made from 59% virgin wool (Merino), + 35% lyocell (Tencel®) + 16% polyester, which makes it considerably cooler than a 100% Merino shirt.

HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT One of the reasons for this cooling effect is the natural moisture content in the fiber core, which is higher than that of Merino fibers.

PRODUCTS CORTINA STRETCH BACK

SMOOTH SURFACE Another reason is that the Tencel fibers have an even smoother surface, so the material feels cooler directly against the skin.

EVAPORATIVE COOLNESS Tencel® also has quicker drying characteristics than Merino wool. The evaporative coolness that results from drying keeps the body at the ideal temperature, without feeling wet.

ODOR NEUTRAL Like Merino wool, Tencel® transports moisture into the fiber core, which results in a dry fiber surface – and bacteria has no chance.

The fabrics differ in that they have different material compositions: the thinnest and lightest line is the MERINO FLEECE LIGHT with 26% virgin wool (MERINO) and a knit construction that makes the fleece material even lighter. Compared to the other two lines, the MERINO FLEECE PLUS line has the thickest outer material and the highest proportion of Merino wool (41% virgin wool).

This means that the insulation effect changes depending upon the composition: The thicker the fabric and the higher the proportion of Merino wool, the warmer the material.

The combination of the finest Merino wool on the inside of the material and polyester on the outside produces a durable, elastic fabric that, thanks to the Merino wool, is breathable and soft at the same time.

ODOR NEUTRALIZING Unlike fleece jackets made purely from synthetic fibers (polyester or polyamide), Merino wool is odor neutralizing. Synthetic fibers have a surface that bacteria can cling to. This means they begin to smell more quickly. However, the protein molecules in wool give it a natural antibacterial effect, which means that it doesn’t emit any unpleasant odors even after having been worn for a long time.

TEMPERATURE REGULATING In contrast to synthetic fibers, Merino wool also has temperature regulating features.

This means wool warms when it’s cold and cools when it’s hot.

MOISTURE REGULATING In addition, Merino wool can absorb up to 35% of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet to the touch. The fiber surface remains dry, while the moisture moves to the fiber core. In contrast to down or polyester, wool thus feels warm and comfortable even when wet.

Last of all, Merino wool is a sustainable raw material and, thus, environmentally friendly.

MERINO WOOL – EVEN BETTER The high-end yarn structure of Nuyarn® improves the performance and function of the wool. To develop this fiber, the finest Merino wool is spun using an innovative, special spinning process around a core of polyamide filaments. This process makes the yarn more voluminous and elastic. The polyamide used provides stability, robustness and durability.

All of this results in a yarn composition that combines all of the positive features of synthetic fibers and Merino wool.

ADVANTAGES: •• COMFORTABLE: 39 % more volume at the same weight. Although the yarn weighs the same, it is better at retaining heat.

•• ELASTIC: 35 % more stretch and a more stable structure. Thanks to the structure of the yarn, Nuyarn® forms more easily to the body and is more elastic than conventional Merino wool.

•• ROBUST: 16 % stronger and less pilling.

Nuyarn® has a higher resistance to tearing and abrasion. So it’s the perfect choice for mountaineering, where the material has to be very durable.

•• QUICK DRYING: Dries 5x faster Because of the yarn volume in Nuyarn®, water is more quickly absorbed and at the same time moisture is more quickly wicked away.

•• NO ODORS: 90 % Merino wool neutralizes odors. This is one of the most important characteristics of wool and, as wool makes up a large proportion of Nuyarn, this characteristic is optimally preserved in the new material.

THE BENEFITS OF SWISSWOOL® COMPARED TO OTHER ALTERNATIVES ON THE MARKET OTHER WOOL INSULATION •• PIONEER: since 2011, we have been developing SWISSWOOL® exclusively for use in mountain sports.

•• WOOL QUALITY: the wool of the Swiss alpine sheep is better suited for use in insulating products than any other type. It is coarser and therefore more durable with particularly high resilience. Insulating air pockets are better preserved.

•• RICH VARIETY: four different fleece thicknesses for many different areas of use.

•• DURABILITY: polylactide fibers are mixed equally with the wool and give the fleece more stability after thermal treatment.

•• SHORT TRANSPORTATION ROUTES: the fleece is produced in Europe.

•• EASY TO CARE FOR: SWISSWOOL® is machine washable.

DOWN •• RESISTANT TO MOISTURE: SWISSWOOL® warms even when wet while providing a comfortable microclimate. If it becomes wet, it dries quickly and simply without clumping – with no need for a tumble dryer.

•• ODOR: odor-forming bacteria are chemically bound by the wool fibers and therefore isolated.

•• DRYING TIME: dries quickly.

•• COLD BRIDGES: wool fleece is made up of complete layers that prevent the material from gathering in one place and creating cold bridges.

•• ANIMAL WELFARE: shearing is a natural process that does not particularly stress the animals.

•• SPACE TO ROAM: the sheep enjoy expansive space to roam in their natural habitat.

POLYESTER •• W ET: SWISSWOOL® warms even when wet.

•• TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT: wool is comfortable at a broader range of temperatures and does not feel stuffy, even when very warm.

•• THE PERFECT MICROCLIMATE: wool can absorb up to 35% of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet to the touch.

•• SUSTAINABLE: SWISSWOOL® makes use of natural resources.

•• REGIONALITY: any wool farmer can sell their wool to SWISSWOOL®.

•• ODOR NEUTRALIZING: the protein molecules in SWISSWOOL® destroy odor-forming bacteria. This means that clothes do not smell, even after tours lasting several days.

SWISSWOOL® STORY ORTOVOX has trusted in wool since 1988: From the first layer right through to the third, the company does not produce a garment without using nature’s most functional fiber.

In 2011, this came to include SWISSWOOL®.

Not many years ago, small businesses in Switzerland earned very little or no money with sheep’s wool. Due to its characteristics, virgin wool cannot be directly woven and therefore cannot get a competitive price on the market. But thanks to its OUTSTANDING THERMAL PROPERTIES and COMFORTABLE MICROCLIMATE, this type of wool is the perfect NATURAL, HIGH-QUALITY INSULATION MATERIAL. This led to the innovative idea behind SWISSWOOL®, which ORTOVOX uses in its insulating products.

In addition to high functionality, SWISSWOOL® is also characterized by its regional origins: the German company Baur, where ORTOVOX sources its nonwoven fabrics, places particular importance on SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION and REGIONAL ORIGINS. That is why there are currently 26 COLLECTION POINTS across Switzerland to which even the smallest wool farms can send their wool. Long transport routes are taboo.

ORTOVOX uses THREE DIFFERENT WEIGHTS of this fair-trade and functional virgin wool: 60 g/m², 90 g/m², 120 g/m². In the SWISSWOOL BLACK line, the wool of black sheep is also used: It is seldom used in the industry because white wool is both easier to color and does not show through the outer material when used as a lining. Black wool is often a “waste product”, even though it boasts the same features.

MERINO WOOL IS: ODOR NEUTRAL Wool has an anti-bacterial effect, because it isn’t a very “good” breeding ground for odor-forming bacteria. Thanks to the wool’s structure, bacteria struggle to get lodged inside and develop. It is therefore difficult for unpleasant odors to form. When wool is washed, the H2O molecules quickly separate the bacteria. Compared to synthetic functional clothing, it is easier to remove bacteria. Of course, this means that you need to wash your Merino wool t-shirt less often and can instead simply air it outside – the environment will thank you.

MOISTURE REGULATING Wool fibers are hydrophilic fibers and therefore extremely functional: They can absorb up to 35% of their own weight in moisture without feeling wet to the touch. The fiber surface remains dry, while the moisture moves to the fiber core. Merino wool is also breathable, which means it can store moisture. While drying on the body, the wool functions like air conditioning and keeps you pleasantly cool in the heat.

TEMPERATURE REGULATING Wool fibers cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This smart thermo-regulating feature is based on two principles: wool fibers are naturally crimped, which means they can trap body heat in small air chambers. This air serves as an insulation layer, in both summer and winter, against heat and cold. The second principle is based on cooling by evaporative coolness. Wool can absorb a lot of moisture without feeling wet to the touch. In warm air the moisture dries quickly, resulting in a refreshing evaporative coolness.

SOFT Merino wool does not itch! At 18–19 microns (one micron = one-thousandth of a millimeter), the fine wool fibers are so thin that they are well below the human itching threshold – which is around 25 microns.

EASY TO CARE FOR When you do have to wash your t-shirt, it’s child’s play: ORTOVOX uses the “Total Easy Care” process for its Merino wool. This means that you can simply wash your product in the machine at 30° or 40° without having to worry that the wool will shrink. For more care tips, for example about the right way to dry your product, the best thing to do is check the information label in every textile product.

REGROWS Wool is naturally 100% ecological and therefore super sustainable. Depending on the breed, Merino sheep are shorn once to twice a year – so they automatically grow a new coat. All that is needed for these natural fibers to grow is water, fresh air, sun and tasty grass.

MERINO WOOL STORY The first functional underwear made from Merino wool was introduced by ORTOVOX in 1995: Shirts, pants and polo necks for alpine skiing, ski tours and mountain hikes, rendering frequent changes of clothing unnecessary. This marked the beginning of a Bavarian success story: from now on, non-scratch wool is a firm fixture of the ORTOVOX mountainwear collections.

MERINO WOOL FROM TASMANIA Kenilworth Farm, Lewisham Farm, Stonehenge Farm, Ashby Farm and Rothamy Farm: We obtain our Merino wool from just SIX SELECTED FARMS. Our selection criteria were friendly cooperation, transparency and high standards of animal welfare, as well as outstanding wool quality. Constant exchange and regular visits to the land of the Tasmanian devil are just as important to our close cooperation, as is the implementation of our WOOL POLICY, which focuses on the wellbeing of the sheep: •• MEDICAL SUPPORT Taking precautions and ensuring quick diagnosis and treatment.

•• ETHICAL TREATMENT Providing ample space and clean facilities for the sheep to share with their fellow species.

•• COMFORT AND PROTECTION Providing an appropriate environment with shelter and a comfortable resting area.

•• FEEDING CONTROLS Ensuring the sheep have constant access to fresh water and food that provides a healthy source of energy.

Merino sheep have been bred in Tasmania for over 180 years. This has led to the emergence of modern breeds that provide very FINE, TEAR-RESISTANT WOOL. It is also the sheep’s living conditions that are responsible for the top-quality wool. The animals can roam almost unlimitedly and discover lush, natural sources of food such as high-protein pasturage. The climate is moderate. The winters are not particularly cold, and extreme heat is just as rare.

These factors lead to uniform fiber growth – and here, uniform is synonymous with stable.

Tasmanian shepherds recognize the importance of their animals, and in 180 years they have learned to handle them in a way that is appropriate to the species, characterized by SUSTAINABLE FARMING and RESPONSIBLE CARE. That’s why we can say with certainty: TASMANIA IS HOME TO THE BEST QUALITY WOOL.

TENCEL® IN COMPARISON WITH SYNTHETIC AND NATURAL FIBERS LONG-TERM ORGANIC PRODUCTION Synthetic fibers, but also natural fibers such as cotton, negatively affect the environment. To ensure that future generations can also enjoy an intact natural world, we at ORTOVOX place great importance on the eco-balance of our fibers. Compared to cotton, Tencel® is a fine example of this: the fiber yield of Tencel® is up to ten times higher than that of cotton – only one t-shirt can be made from 6m² of cotton, but ten t-shirts can be made from the same amount of Tencel®. Furthermore, cotton needs 10 to 20 times more water, often requires the use of pesticides, and takes up large areas that could otherwise be used for growing food.

BENEFITS OF TENCEL® PART OF OUR NATURAL ECOSYSTEM The cellulose that is use to produce the fibers is obtained from sustainably-grown eucalyptus wood. This type of wood grows particularly quickly, on FSC-certified wood farms, without genetic engineering or artificial irrigation.

A COMPLETE CYCLE The Tencel® production process is future-oriented thanks to an environmentally friendly, closed production cycle. Alongside wood and water, only a solvent is necessary to produce the fibers.

And nearly 100% of this can be reclaimed, so no pollutants negatively affect the environment or remain in the fibers. This manufacturing process won the European Union’s “European Award for the Environment”.

EVEN MORE FUNCTIONALITY LONG LASTING The name Tencel® stems from the English word “tenacity”. The fiber is particularly stable, which is evident in its strong resistance to pilling and pitting.

ODOR NEUTRAL Odor-forming bacteria require a moist fiber surface to develop. A Tencel fiber immediately transports moisture into its core, which keeps the surface of the fiber dry. Since bacteria require moisture to grow, up to 2000 x fewer bacteria develops on Tencel® than on synthetic fibers.

NATURAL FIBERS Tencel® is developed in harmony with nature and isn’t contaminated with pesticides, agricultural chemicals or any other pollutants. The raw material used in the fiber, cellulose, is obtained from eucalyptus wood in an extremely environmentally friendly manufacturing process.

MOISTURE REGULATING The Tencel® fiber has similar functional mechanisms to those of Merino wool. It can absorb enormous amounts of moisture, but the surface of the fiber remains dry. Fibrils, a network of submicroscopic channels, transport the moisture (colored blue) quickly and evenly to the fiber core.

TENCEL® NATURAL FIBERS WITH COOLING EFFECT For MERINO COOL, MERINO COOL TEC and MERINO VINTAGE / ROCK’N’WOOL COOL, ORTOVOX combines the finest Merino wool with the synthetic cellulose fiber Tencel®, which is made from wood. Tencel® impresses with its functional qualities and a natural cooling effect.

THE FUNCTIONS OF TENCEL® MOISTURE CONTENT The higher the natural moisture content in the fiber core, the more refreshing the fiber feels!

The basic moisture content of Tencel® is 13%, whereas that of polyester is only 1%. As TENCEL® is hydrophilic, i.e. water-binding, the fiber surface remains dry and comfortably cool without feeling damp to the touch.

GENTLE COOLING EFFECT The smoother the surface of the fiber, the cooler it feels on the skin. Compared with the crimped surface of cotton, Tencel® has more contact with the skin and thus feels cooler.

EVAPORATIVE COOLNESS Tencel® dries very quickly. The evaporative coolness that results from drying keeps the body at an ideal temperature, without feeling wet. This has the beneficial effect of increasing performance and comfort.
