For lightweight protection from the elements on high-alpine adventures reach for the Ortovox 3L Ortler Jacket. It's fully waterproof and windproof to protect you from the variable conditions you'll face on speedy backcountry touring treks and high-altitude summit pushes, but it's also breathable and super light on weight, ensuring that discomfort won't play a role in your mission. The front zipper has two-way functionality so you can maintain access to a harness while still staying protected from the elements, and the helmet-compatible hood delivers that added coverage you need when whipping winds and sudden snows rear their ugly heads. Zippered underarm vents let you easily expel heat when you're attacking steep pitches, while merino-mesh lining at the chin collar provides a necessary dose of comfort. To round things out you've got a chest and arm pocket that are both easy to reach with a pack or harness on.

This has become my go-to foul weather jacket. Its like and packable enough that I take it everywhere and I have never been wet wearing it. I like that it has pit-zips so I can regulate temperature on the go, and the hood works great over a helmet. I really like the harness/pack compatibility, it has one large chest pocket and no hand pockets. I am occasionally miffed I can put my hands in my pockets, usually just when I am standing around wearing the jacket casually. But I love that there are not zippers pressing into my hips when I have a harness or a pack on (which is often). I primarily use this thing for skiing, both resort and backcountry but it has a great fit and the stretchy material make it awesome for ice climbing when its drippy. I usually wear a large in Ortovox jackets but the XL Ortler fits me perfectly I am a full time, year-round mountain guide and a member of the Ortovox North American team I received this gear to test and use.

Although bright and flashy, what impresses with this jacket is it's simplicity. Light, yet tough. Warm when u need it, cools quick and can easily be layered or worn alone. The price seems customer oriented in that you get exactly what you pay for. I love it more everyday in each environment I expose it to.
