THE FREERIDE FAVORITE FOR FREEZING TEMPERATURES

Long-cut freeriding parka with SWISSWOOL insulation for very cold days

Highlights

  • windproof and water-resistant, yet breathable and scuff resistant
  • SWISSWOOL insulation adapted to each area of the body
  • soft merino wool in the chin area

With our SWISSWOOL VERBIER PARKA for women, you won’t be following the masses – you’ll be going your own way! For our SWISSWOOL BLACK line, we process the wool of black sheep from the Swiss Alps. Inspired by these wild four-legged creatures, this line stands for individuality and maximum protection on icy days of freeriding.

The rare black wool used in the front and back areas weighs just 200 g/m², and in the arms and hood just 150 g/m², offering excellent freedom of movement. This is protected by new PERTEX® QUANTUM PRO material, which has been made even more weather resistant thanks to its PU coating. Two-layered DERMIZAX® NX membrane inserts in the shoulders ensure stability and protection. 

Details such as the dually adjustable hood, elastic inner seam and adjustable waistband guarantee a perfect fit, keeping cold air and snow at bay. Fine merino wool ensures a good soft fit in the chin area. Two backpack-optimized front pockets, an inner pocket and ski pass pocket provide space for those small items you might need quickly when freeriding. 

The SWISSWOOL VERBIER PARKA for women will get you ready to head off and carve endless lines in powder!

Material 

SWISSWOOL BLACK
SWISSWOOL offers excellent thermal properties and optimum climate comfort. In addition to high functionality, SWISSWOOL is characterized by its regional origin and sustainable production and processing. The unusual feature of SWISSWOOL BLACK is its use of black wool: it is seldom used because white wool is both easier to color and does not show through the outer material when used as a lining. So black wool is often a “waste product” – but not for us. SWISSWOOL also guarantees a fair price for raw wool at collection points in often very remote valleys. After the raw wool has been weighed, it is washed and then processed, always utilizing the shortest possible transportation routes.

PERTEX® QUANTUM PRO 
PERTEX® QUANTUM PRO is an extremely light, windproof and abrasion-resistant material with highly water-resistant qualities. Thanks to an ultra-thin polyurethane coating on the inside of the material, PERTEX® QUANTUM PRO offers very high weather protection – even in extreme conditions. This also increases the insulating qualities of the SWISSWOOL lining material.

I love this jacket! It's warm and is so cute. I always get compliments on it. I've had it for a little under a year now. I bought Ortovox because one of my best friends has an Ortovox puffy and it's so light, soft and packs down well for ski tours. I wasn't let down at all! It weighs less than every other jacket I have and packs down well for ski tours, even though I primarily use it as a day to day winter jacket. Definitely recommend.
