Skitourjas Ortovox Col Becchei - dark

The Ortovox Col Becchei ski touring jacket in dark is a high-performance hybrid shell designed for demanding alpine tours. Combining MERINO NATURETEC LIGHT main fabric with MERINO ATHLETIC inserts, it offers an optimal balance of weather protection, breathability, and comfort. The jacket is PFC-free DWR treated for water repellency, wind-resistant, and features a self-adjusting helmet-compatible storm hood. With an athletic fit, 2-way front zipper, and practical pocket layout, it is ideal for ski touring, mountaineering, and alpine climbing.

Advantages

Hybrid construction provides targeted climate control: wind-resistant and breathable where needed, with 4-way stretch inserts for freedom of movement. Merino wool naturally regulates moisture and temperature, neutralizes odors, and is mulesing-free. The lightweight design (380 g in size M) minimizes pack weight without sacrificing durability.
