LOW WEIGHT, FULL PERFORMANCE
Lightweight, breathable insulated vest with Swisswool for demanding ski tours
Highlights
- Wind- and water-resistant
- 60 g/m² Swisswool lining ensures an ideal weight-to-insulation ratio
- Optimum freedom of movement thanks to stretch inserts
From steep couloirs in the Dolomites to untouched slopes on the Arlberg – with the mountain firmly in view, the SWISSWOOL PIZ BOÈ VEST offers everything a demanding ski tourer needs.
Its moisture-regulating 60 g/m² Swisswool lining means the vest offers an ideal weight-to-insulation ratio on cold days, while the robust PERTEX® QUANTUM outer material provides protection against wind and rain. The elastic MERINO AIRSOLATION stretch inserts on the sides and back are characterized by their high breathability and they ensure optimum freedom of movement in challenging terrain on the way to the summit.
The many features are consistently tailored to use in alpine terrain: Cleverly positioned breast pockets can be easily accessed even when wearing a backpack or harness, while the pre-adjusted hood with softshell edge and the elastic waistband will withstand the wind and cold out on icy ridges. The athletic cut and new triangle-pattern stitching round off the innovative design of the SWISSWOOL PIZ BOÈ VEST.

Sustainable PERTEX® QUANTUM material is made of recycled polyamide, and its tight weave makes it extremely windproof and abrasion resistant yet comfortably soft. It is also particularly lightweight with a small pack size.
