Ortovox Guardian 3L Shell Jacket Review

With high-performance Toray Dermizax®EV membrane and pure merino wool lining, the Ortovox Guardian 3L Shell Jacket remains the benchmark in hardshell comfort!

The inside of the jacket is made completely of merino wool, whilst the hardshell exterior, with its highly functional Toray Dermizax®EV membrane, and with a water column of at least 20,000mm, protects you from the wet and cold, and is also absolutely windproof.

The wool in the merino Guardian shell allows moisture to pass through rapidly, which prevents the build-up of an inner layer of moisture and makes the 3L hardshell feel dry on the inside. This allows the merino guardian shell to absorb and then slowly release large quantities of moisture. This buffer action supports the DERZIMAX®EV membrane and enables ideal management of temperature and moisture.

Features like the 2-way adjustable storm hood (helmet compatible) with horizontal and vertical adjustment options and the adjustable seam provide the perfect fit and offer additional protection in stormy conditions. The two large front pockets, the inside pocket and the ski pass pocket provide more than enough room for the large and small items you need for ski touring and freeriding. And in case it gets a bit more challenging: The ergonomic underarm ventilation zippers can be easily opened for additional ventilation.
