Naked Sheep Ortovox line: new ORTOVOX 20182019 collection at AlpinStore

The Naked Sheep Ortovox line at the heart of the new 2018/2019 collection

At AlpinStore, we live for this: the ORTOVOX 2018 / 2019 novelties arrive in stores starting January. The Naked Sheep Ortovox line stands out as the technical and lightweight focus of the season. We're speaking honestly: from the material to the cut, the uses in the mountains, and especially what you can expect in the field. If you're looking for pieces that combine innovation and practicality, stay with us.

The collection retains the fundamentals known at ORTOVOX: wool, moisture control, and piece architecture designed zone by zone. Ambitious hikers, climbing enthusiasts, and contemplatives who appreciate good lightweight insulation: there's something for every profile. At AlpinStore, we test each product in real conditions. You'll find honest feedback, advice, and concrete uses to decide what truly suits you.

We start with jackets: the Zebru Jacket incorporates stretch channels in the Swisswool lining to provide maximum insulation while minimizing weight. It's a piece designed for brisk ascents and outings where every gram counts. Its construction promotes breathability without sacrificing warmth, ideal for those alternating between intense effort and contemplative breaks.

• The Zebru Jacket: channelled insulation, Swisswool lining, minimal weight.
• The Tofana Jacket: new structure in raised Merino wool to save even more weight, perfect for ambitious hikers.
• The 120 merino competition light range: designed without seams to place different material thicknesses according to body zones, optimized comfort and performance.

Want to optimize your base layer? Knowing how to choose a men's technical underwear changes everything: a good base wicks moisture and limits odors without hindering thermoregulation. In the new ORTOVOX offer, you'll find fine constructions like the 120 merino competition light, designed to fit close to the body without generating friction points during long hiking days.

For those looking to upgrade, the high men's technical underwear offers targeted solutions: warmer zones at the torso, breathable under the armpits, flat seams. These choices influence your comfort on a day-long raid or a bivouac outing. We recommend testing in real conditions: the worn sensation often makes the difference.

The collection aims to be comprehensive. Beyond base layers, we talk about intermediate pieces and protective cuts. If you look at the ORTOVOX lineup, you'll understand why we also talk about outdoor technical clothing that holds up on all types of terrain: from alpine passes to high mountain routes, including technical outings in ski touring.

We are also realistic: not everyone has the same budget. That's why we highlight smart options and advice to find suitable gear without breaking the bank. If you want gear to start or complete your equipment, look for affordable hiking gear without sacrificing essential performance. We guide you on what to prioritize.

Want to complete your outfit? Our advice covers everything: from choosing layers to accessories. If you need to buy a hiking hat, prioritize an adjustable, breathable, and quick-drying protection. A small accessory. A big difference when the wind picks up or the sun beats down at the pass.

We don't forget the female practitioners: the range includes cuts and weights adapted for women. The women's technical hiking clothing comes in models designed for specific morphology and thermal loads, without blindly copying the men's version. Performance and comfort, nothing more.

There's also a bridge between technique and lifestyle: some models find their place in the city. If you're interested in trends, we offer square pieces for the mountains that pair well with fashionable clothing for men or women for a discreet yet effective urban outdoor look. The idea: maintain functionality, soften the line for everyday use.

• Practical questions: how to choose the size, care for wool, and integrate these pieces into your quiver? We explain clearly.
• Our field choices: feedback from tests, usage circumstances, and recommended scenarios based on your adventure profile.

And if you want to wrap up your preparation, take a look at our selection of hiking shoes: from versatile models to technical profiles, validated on trails. For thoughtful purchases: consider the sole / arch / support combination, and measure your foot at the end of the day. Again, we provide honest references, just like we would among climbing buddies.

In conclusion, the Naked Sheep Ortovox line and the 2018/2019 collection illustrate a philosophy: reduce the superfluous, concentrate the material where it is useful, offer pieces tested by practitioners. At AlpinStore, we help you assemble a coherent equipment setup, according to your project: lightweight hiking, trekking, or long winter outings. Come to the store in January to touch, try, and ask all your questions. We advise you without bullshit, with expertise and passion.
