4The SEARCH FOR INNOVATIVE IDEAS determines all areas of our business; whether in mountainwear, backpacks, emergency equipment or directly on the mountain. Take the next step with us and accompany us again this winter into the world of ORTOVOX.
Green meadows, white mountaintops and our sheep on the alpine pastures in wild nature. Welcome to SWITZERLANDS NATURAL PARADISE, where the wool for our Swisswool products originates. Briefly spin the globe and travel halfway around the world, where we find another NATURAL PARADISE: TASMANIA. Our merino sheep feed themselves on lush pastures in the untouched and unimaginably vast nature. That is the DNA that is in our ORTOVOX Mountainwear collection. For the upcoming winter we present to you THE MOST ATHLETIC SHEEP ON THE MOUNTAIN and unite the best qualities from our two wool worlds. We will also reveal to you how merino wool can be made even more functional.
ORTOVOX stands for training and products for MAXIMUM PROTEC-TION ON THE MOUNTAINS. Therefore: meet SAM 3D! Get to know the new instructors of our SAFETY ACADEMY. The SAFETY ACADEMY MOUNTAIN 3D bridges the gap between tour theory and practice. Accompanied by our BRAND NEW ALLMOUNTAIN BACKPACKS, nothing else stands in the way of your mountain adventure. One thing you shouldnt forget: the greatest feat with mountaineering, and in life, is to be PASSIONATE about it. ORTOVOX is, therefore, absolutely THE RIGHT CHOICE.

MOUNTAINWEARAt ORTOVOX, weve been putting our trust in WOOL SINCE 1988. That is more than a quarter of a century of experience in working with the most functional of all natural fibers. From the first layer right through to the third, we take a holistic approach and do NOT PRODUCE ANY GARMENTS WITHOUT USING SHEEPS WOOL. Our expertise lies in the intelligent combination of this natural material with other innovative fabrics. With the resulting easy-wear system, we provide you with unique functionality and high wear comfort for all your mountain adventures. We discovered MERINO WOOL IN 1995, both for ourselves and for all mountaineers. Our wool comes from the natural paradise of Tasmania. We have counted on wool from the Swiss Alps for our unique Swisswool products for several years, collecting it directly from the source. Here, like everywhere else in the world, we exclusively cooperate with partners who share our ethics, values and sense of social responsibility. ANIMAL WELFARE and FAIR WORKING CONDITIONS are more important to us than raw commercialism.

THE WOOL LAYERING SYSTEMPROTECTION, COMFORT, FUNCTION AND WOOL IN EVERY LAYER.
A merino midlayer ADDS A GREAT DEAL OF FUNCTIONALITY and freedom of movement. The second layer o ers maximum breathability and high insulation.
This merino base layer keeps you warm and dry in the most natural way. The fi ne merino fi bers TRANSPORT MOISTURE into the fi ber core and slowly release it. This keeps the skin dry and perfectly regulates BODY TEMPERATURE.
The outer layer of clothing PROTECTS YOU FROM THE ELEMENTS. Rain, snow, and stormy weather stay outside while you enjoy the optimal personal climate inside.

A new level of comfort! MERINO GUARDIANSHELL bears the signature of ORTOVOX freerider Chris Ebenbichler. For Chris, SAFETY and COMFORT are closely related. With this in mind, we created the FIRST FULL-COVERAGE MERINO THREE-LAYER SET IN THE WORLD. The layer against the body is made of pure Merino wool that has been laminated to the TORAY DERMIZAX EV membrane as well as to the outer fabric. Merino wool not only increases wearing comfort, but also improves FUNCTIONALITY. It has the ability to store large volumes of moisture without causing the wearer to feel wet. Conventional three-layer materials quickly reach their limits during periods of heavy perspiration, causing discomfort. But Merino wool buff ers moisture and passes it uniformly through the membrane to the outside environment. This eliminates the danger of rapid cooling during a chairlift ride after a strenuous POWDER SESSION. MERINO GUARDIAN-SHELL OPTIMIZES COMFORT throughout the day!

Two of our most athletic product lines combine to form the ultimate touring jacket. THE TECHNICAL SOFTSHELL MATERIAL NATURETEC LIGHT and the LIGHT WOOL INSULATION LINING SWISSWOOL LIGHT TEC come together in the (MI) (SW) PIZ PAL JACKET. NATURETEC LIGHT is used on the shoulders and back in the exact place where the backpack sits. Merino wool on the inside ensures that the body does not become hypothermic and instead stays at the correct temperature level. The elastic, breathable Softshell exterior provides high elasticity and scuff resistance. Swiss wool on the arms and the front of the jacket provide the necessary warmth. The thin insulation layer (60g/m2) is surrounded by breathable yet windproof Pertex and is therefore suitable for ascent as well as descent.
PRODUCED AND PROCESSED IN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WAYS MADE WITH RENEWABLE RAW MATERIALS WARM EVEN WHEN WET (better than down) MOISTURE-REGULATING: Highest-quality comfortable insulation fi bers that can absorb up to 35% of their own weight in moisture without feeling wet to the touch (better than synthetic fi bers).

Martin wasnt prepared to accept that wool was suddenly worthless. In 2009 he began to collect Swiss wool directly from the source from the farmers themselves. Currently, over 400 tons of wool are collected each year.

JON, DO YOU ACTUALLY SPEND THE WHOLE SUMMER WITH YOUR SHEEP?No, unfortunately not. I am the Alpmeister (the head of the farmers cooperative). This means that I cant always be with the sheep during the summer. Our shepherd Leonhard undertakes this for me. As Alpmeister I am his supervisor. I keep returning to the alpine pastures so that we can talk and I can help him when occasional problems arise. Otherwise during the summer Im mostly kept busy with the haymaking. The whole summer is actually about gathering food for the animals for the winter.
SWISS SHEEP ARE SHORN TWICE A YEAR. HOW COME?We shear the sheep so that they thrive. In the winter in Switzerland the sheep are kept in a barn, admitted-ly partly in an open barn, but nevertheless they have a limited space. We shear the sheep in the fall to ensure that they have a more comfortable time in the barn during the winter. In the spring the sheep have to be shorn because otherwise their coats would simply be too long for summer on the alpine pastures. The fall wool, which we get after their time on the alpine pastures, is the nicer wool because the sheep have spent the whole summer in the fresh air.
WHY IS THE FALL WOOL NICER?Apart from the excellent grass, which is available for the sheep to eat across the whole of the Alps, I think
"THE PLACE YOU COME FROM AND WERE BORN IS ALWAYS UNIQUE.
Since 1987 Jon Roner, from SCUOL IN ENGADIN in Switzerland, has been in sheep farming. He is one of the many Swisswool farmers, who, twice a year, hand over their wool to Swisswool collection sta-tions. In addition to some cows and horses, Jon has 150 sheep, whose wool is used to make our jackets. Last summer, we visited Jon and his herd on his alpine pasture in the mountains.
the climate and the Alpine environment aff ect the wool the sheep are exposed to sub-zero temperatu-res during the night and then during the day it can get quite hot. The conditions are therefore very diff erent. As a result the wool is so special.
FOR A LONG TIME NOBODY WANTED TO BUY SWISS WOOL. WHEN WE HEARD THIS, WE COULD HARDLY BELIEVE IT.Yes, thats true. Back then a central body called Wollzentrale bought the wool. But eventually the state no longer part-fi nanced this and nobody wanted to buy the wool. For a long while we didnt really know what to do with the wool anymore. It was a real shame. Today we throw away some foodstuff s, and thats what we also had to do with the wool. Some people also incinerated it. But wool, just like other materials, is very valuable. We were therefore forced to look for other options. Now we are glad that we are able to give the wool to Swisswool and fi nally garments can be made using it.
HOW DID YOU COME TO HEAR OF SWISSWOOL AND HOW DOES HANDING IN THE WOOL WORK? Martin Keller, the chief of Swisswool, also has an alpine pasture in this area and thanks to publications in farming magazines we heard about the collection dates in Scuol and the concept. There was also an invitation to the wool collection point. When the wool is collected, we go there, the wool is weighed, you state which type of wool it is and also which color. Then you get paid per kilo of wool. The wool is then tied into bales and so made ready for further transportation.

CIAO, TAUFKIRCHEN! In the Spring of 2014 we set o for Italy together. Not only were we rigorously testing our products but also updating our knowledge in terms of rescuing com- panions. Our upmost priority: to experience together, what we work for everyday a SAFE, MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE thats unforgettable, thanks to FRIEND-SHIP AND PASSION.
OUR DESTINATION: LIVIGNO, a still relatively un- touched FREE-RIDING MECCA, which is just under 5 hours drive from Munich (or 10 hours when you realize, shortly before the tunnel, that the tour bus wont fit through).
ITALY
ORTOVOX is a partner of FREERIDE LIVIGNO! Freeriders literally have a free run in Livigno. O-piste skiing nearly everywhere else in Italy is, for safety reasons, legally prohibited. This is not the case for the small spot in northern Lombardy: instead Livigno actively invests in various preventative measures to avoid avalanche accidents and, in the process, has found a strong partner in ORTOVOX. More about the free-riding Mecca: LIVIGNO.EU

ONCE SAFE, PER FAVORE! ORTOVOX stands for protection on the mountain. Thoughts of safety are always present, even in our free time. This also includes putting theoretical knowledge into practice. In other words: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. We didnt need a trip to Livigno to realize that avalanche theory is no dry subject and actually has its charms, particularly in the mountains. The FUN that we ultimately had with the AVALANCHE TRANSCEIVER TRAINING was well worth the trip.

AMICI, LETS GO, DESCENT! After the climb comes the descent for us the ab- solute HIGHLIGHT of every snow excursion: making curves through the UNTOUCHED POWDER. Nothing dampened a good mood even when the ride down MONTE DELLA NEVE, was no longer completely untouched after 30 colleagues had already made their way down.
ORTOVOX team: THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

WE COMBINE THE INTELLIGENCE OF NATURE WITH THE INTELLIGENCE OF MAN. MERINO WOOL MEETS NYLON.
For hundreds of years we humans have been in the process of continuous im-provement. Work proces-ses are being optimized, technological developments are being utilized more and more extensively, and the materials we work with are likewise being optimally adapted to their relevant uses.
For centuries the most functional fi ber from nature, merino wool, has been impressing with its functionality. Mountaineers in particular profi t from its various positive qualities. Merino wool is odor neu-tral, moisture regulating, very soft, easy to care for and grows back every year.
NUYARN MERINO WOOL - EVEN BETTER

MORE VOLUME WITH LESS WEIGHT. Because Nuyarn doesnt have a yarn twist it feels even softer on the skin. Although its thinner, Nuyarn is better at retaining heat.
MORE STRETCH AND A MORE STABLE STRUC-TURE. Thanks to the structure of the yarn, Nuyarn forms more easily to the body and is more elastic than con-ventional merino wool.
STRONGER AND LESS PILLING. Nuyarn has a higher resistance to tearing and abrasion. So its the perfect choice for mountaineering, where the material has to be very durable.
DRIES 5X FASTER. Because of the volume of fi bers in Nuyarn, water is more quickly absorbed and at the same time moisture is more quickly wicked away.
MERINO WOOL NEUTRALIZES ODORS. As wool makes up a large part of the Nuyarn yarn, this characteristic is completely preserved in the new material.
COMFORTABLE ELASTIC ROBUST QUICK DRYING NO ODORS
WHY NUYARN WORKS EVEN BETTER THAN CONVENTIONAL MERINO WOOL
The HIGH-END YARN STRUCTURE of Nuyarn improves the performance and function of the wool.
Nylon forms the core of Nuyarn. The synthetic polyamide fi ber is particularly tear-resistant, elastic and light.
Merino wool is wrapped around the nylon center, creating a yarn composition that combines all of the positive features of synthetic fi bers and merino wool.
Nuyarn IMPROVES THE FUNCTIONALITY of merino wool. Your time on the mountain will be an experience to remember thanks to the improved performance of our Nuyarn merino clothing.

Nuyarn can be found in our 105 MERINO ULTRA and 260 MERINO NET lines.
The secret of Nuyarn is the completely new and unique spinning process. Thanks to the spinning process, the yarn is lighter, more elastic and durable, dries more quickly and retains all of the positive characteristics of merino wool.

Visit our fi ber world!
We work with natures most functional fi bers and make them even better. A NYLON THREAD IN THE INTERIOR of the yarn allows us to take merino wool to an even higher level of performance. Through this INNOVATIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESS, the wool becomes MORE COMFORTABLE, ELASTIC, DURABLE and DRIES MORE QUICKLY. With the ULTRA 260 NET, we have combined a fi nely-woven outer shell with a LARGE-MESH WOOL NETTING INNER, thereby creating a completely new microclimate and wear comfort. The woven wool netting creates air chambers that store A LOT OF WARMTH, although the MERINO ULTRA 260 NET is light and thin. Thanks to its TWO-LAYER CONSTRUCTION, the fi rst and the second layers are combined to make a single product.
NUYARN IMPROVES MERINO WOOL FUNCTIONALITY* LIGHT: 39 % loftier at less weight STRETCHY: 35 % stretchier ST RONG: 16 % stronger with less abrasion DRY: 5 x faster drying

Our ALL-SEASON LINE is made of 100 % PURE TASMANIAN MERINO WOOL with a weight of 185 g/m2 and an average fi neness of 18 microns. Its hard to say if the outstanding quality of the WOOL COMES FROM THE UNIQUE PARADISE-LIKE Tasmanian nature, a near-unlimited living space and natural food sources, or from the 180-year-old merino tradition of sustainability. Probably all of these factors contribute to making our wool so incomparably functional and comfortable.

Nuyarn is the MOST EXCLUSIVE YARN in our range. In an INNOVATIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESS THE FINEST WOOL FIBERS ARE SPUN AROUND A NYLON CORE. The resulting yarn allows us to create fabrics that are LIGHTER but at the same time MORE VOLUMINOUS. The result is more warmth and comfort. In addition, the core improves many wool properties: the yarn becomes MORE ELASTIC, STABLE, LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO PILLING and DRIES 5 X FASTER than conventional merino yarn. In short: the best merino yarn of all time!

TASMANIA FAR, FAR AWAY, IN A LAND OF TASMANIAN DEVILS AND MERINO SHEEP!
Those who wear fi ne ORTOVOX Merino underwear feel: nothing! The wool that the Tasmanian Merino sheep provide is particularly high-quality and made of fi bers so fi ne that they dont scratch. Why is the fi ne-ness of this wool so di erent to European wool? Because the sheep in TASMANIA HAVE A UNIQUE HABITAT TO CALL HOME. The pristine island south of Australia o ers the best air in the world and is mainly one thing: GREEN.
Its not enough for us to know that the wool comes from Tasmanian Merino sheep. So our marketing associate Dominik Haas PAID A VISIT to our four-legged providers and their owners, TOOK A CLOSER LOOK and peeked behind the wool! We source our fi ne fi bers from four farms we completely trust. They treat the sheep so well that we can wear, produce and sell their wool WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE.
LOCATION: In the Indian Ocean, roughly 240 kilometers south of the Australian mainland.
FLORA: Green and pristine Forests similar to rain forests, button grass, moor landscapes and eucalyptus and acacia forests can all be found on the island.
FAUNA: Welcome to the land of marsupials. Wombats, di erent types of kangaroo and the famous Tasmanian devil all call Tasmania their home.
AREA: 68,400 km the same size as Ireland
CAPITAL CITY: Hobart
POPULATION: 500,000 people3 million Merino sheep
HIGHEST MOUNTAIN: Mount Ossa (1,617 meters)

CLEANEST PLACES ON THE PLANET:

ONE OF THE FARMS THAT PRODUCES OUR PRECIOUS MERINO WOOL IS GALA FARM. THE GREENHILL FAMILY HAVE LIVED WITH THEIR MERINOS IN THE EAST OF TASMANIA FOR SIX GENERATIONS. WHAT IS IT LIKE LIVING WITH ALMOST 10,000 SNUGGLY, FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS? WE ASKED ADAM GREENHILL.
WHAT DOES ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS MEAN FOR YOU AS A FARMER?At Gala Farm we are in the lucky position of having varied land that allows for a huge diversity of species and therefore a balanced ecosystem. We have 1000 hectares of original bush land, four wild rivers and five private forest reserves. Most grasses on our pastures are natural varieties and we deliberately leave a large part of our area unused so that we have an emergency reserve for droughts. I would say that a huge proportion of our grassland is actually a very sensitive area and we do our best to ensure it is sustainably farmed. WHAT IS A TYPICAL DAY LIKE FOR YOU?The best thing about a mixed farm is that no two days are the same. The time spent with the sheep lets me breathe the fresh air and soak up the beauty of nature. Theres nothing better than working outside with the sheep dogs on a spring day. At least for as long as the dogs do as theyre told. The next day I could be picking grapes, harvesting poppies or selling wine to restaurants.
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT YOUR REGION?Tasmania is a very isolated island, so the region is very clean. I would say that the wild coasts and the beaches are what make Tasmania unique. I often go camping with my family on immaculate beaches, where we are normally completely alone. Unique to our farm are the four rivers that vitalize the land. They flow from the forest reservations through the deepest gorges and the water is so clear that you can see trout three feet down. We often travel out to the pools formed by the river, take a picnic and spend beautiful days there. HOW MANY DIFFERENT HERDS DO YOU HAVE HERE? The number of herds and how they are mixed changes constantly. We carry out regular pregnancy tests on the breeding animals and separate them into not-pregnant, pregnant, and animals that are expecting several lambs, so that we can give them the correct amounts of food. Before the lambing we separate them into as many enclosures as possible, to reduce the possibility of lambs losing their mothers, as often happens. At the moment our ewes
are spread across 59 dierent enclosures. My father, Bob, stops by these enclosures every day to help with the lambing, although he rarely gets close because he doesnt want to stress the animals.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL SHEEP?In times of drought we use our land as a feeding reserve, where the rivers serve as boundaries for keeping the sheep in. We have had sheep that have sneaked o and re-surfaced in a dierent area, 60 kilometers away. Some sheep werent found until three years later, with 35cm-long coats and looking more like marshmallows.
DO YOU KNOW ALL OF THE SHEEP BY NAME? I would like to say yes, but with 6,000 - 11,000 sheep and my memory for names, its dicult. My daughter is nursing orphaned sheep in our garden, but from those 12 animals I can only remember Pinky, Lamb chop, Fatso, Greedy and Cutlet.
