INSULATION WITH A SMALL PACK SIZE
Lightweight, water-resistant insulating shorts with SWISSWOOL for ski tours
The next chapter in our SWISSWOOL story! For our SWISSWOOL LIGHT TEC line we have developed technical products that are low in weight and high in comfort for demanding ski tours.
Our PIZ BOÈ SHORTS for men provide the necessary warmth even in icy winds and biting cold, while offering maximum freedom of movement.
With their 60 g/m² SWISSWOOL lining and wind and water-resistant nylon ripstop shell, our lightweight insulating shorts are perfect for every ski tourer who wants to keep the most important parts of the body warm and still be lightweight when on the go. SWISSWOOL is naturally moisture and temperature regulating and warms even when wet, making our PIZ BOÈ SHORTS the perfect companion on a ski tour.
Thanks to an adjustable waistband with elastic cord and stopper, these insulating shorts can be adjusted to the perfect size, even when the temperatures in winter require you to wear a couple more layers. The ergonomic cut and elastic stretch inserts made of MERINO NATURETEC LIGHT give you maximum freedom of movement, even on steep terrain. And if temperatures switch between freezing wind and brilliant sunshine: Thanks to the side zipper opening, you can regulate the temperature and quickly pull on or take off the shorts.
To go with the PIZ BOÈ SHORTS for men, we recommend our ATURETEC LIGHT PANTS COL BECCHEI.
Material
SWISSWOOL
Born out of a pioneering spirit and shaped by our innovative strength, ORTOVOX introduced the first SWISSWOOL products in 2011 – and simultaneously created a new segment of insulating wool products! Wool offers excellent thermal properties and optimum climate comfort. In addition to high functionality, SWISSWOOL is also characterized by its regional origin, its sustainable production and processing.
PERTEX® QUANTUM
We use Pertex® Quantum as the outer material for all our SWISSWOOL LIGHT and SWISSWOOL LIGHT TEC products. Pertex® Quantum uses a particularly tightly woven structure, which results in an extremely windproof and abrasion-resistant material. At the same time the material is soft and light.
