EXTRA-WARM INSULATED JACKET

Robust freeriding jacket with very warm Swisswool insulation for particularly cold days

Highlights

  • Swisswool insulation matched to each area of the body
  • Windproof and water-resistant 
  • All-round protection at the collar and hems

Backup from the black sheep: As one of our warmest insulated jackets, the SWISSWOOL ZINAL JACKET for men keeps you comfortably warm even in the coldest sub-zero temperatures while freeriding.

Robust PERTEX® QUANTUMmaterial provides protection on the outside, while Swisswool BLACK, the rare wool of the black sheep from the Swiss Alps, is used on the inside in varying weights: with a warm 150 g/m2 on the front and in the upper sleeve area, and a lighter 120 g/m2 in the hood and lower sleeve area.

The width-adjustable cuffs with elasticated inner seams will fit comfortably over your gloves and reliably keep the wind out, as will the high collar with fine MERINO MESH inside. The Swisswool ZINAL JACKET for men also offers plenty of room for athletic turns and supports the back with a LINING OF 100 % MERINO WOOL.

  • PERTEX® QUANTUM: wind and water resistant, high scuff resistance ( min. 50,000 abrasion cycles in the Martindale test), breathable

MAIN MATERIAL: 100% polyamide (PERTEX® QUANTUM PRO) PADDING: 82% virgin wool (Swisswool) + 18% polylactide LINING: 100% recycled polyamide INSERTS: 100% virgin wool (MERINO)

Swisswool

We have been using Swisswool– wool fibers from Switzerland – as insulation material since 2011. A sustainable wool of regional origin, it warms superbly even when wet, is easy to care for and offers a perfect microclimate.

Pertex Quantum

Sustainable PERTEX® QUANTUM material is made of recycled polyamide, and its tight weave makes it extremely windproof and abrasion resistant yet comfortably soft. It is also particularly lightweight with a small pack size.

Ich nenne die Jacke jetzt knapp 6 Monate mein Eigen und muss sagen ich bin mittlerweile einigermaßen ernüchtert. Die Jacke habe ich in XL gekauft, was ganz gut hinkommt. Das Außenmaterial ist durchaus strapazierfähig und der Ärmelabschluss hält wirklich dicht und jetzt das Highlight, die Jacke ist warm und die Kapuze sitzt gut. Das war es dann aber auch. Die Nachteile überwiegen aber in meinen Augen und hier sind vor allem die Seitentaschen zu nennen, die leider nicht tief genug sind, um eine Mütze oder Handschuhe sicher zu verwahren. Hier besteht immer die latente Gefahr, dass diese herausfallen, was mir schon öfters passiert ist. Die Innentasche ist in meinen Augen zu klein geschnitten, so dass ein durchschnittliches Smartphone gerade mit Hängen und Würgen hinein passt. Das zweite große Ärgerniss ist der Frontreißverschluss, welcher zwar immer irgendwie funktioniert, aber insgesamt ist er doch einfach hakelig und so nicht tragbar für eine Jacke in dieser Preisklasse. Er ist zwar 2-Wege, aber was hilft das, wenn die Jacke ungewollt gerne mal von unten aufgeht. Die Reisverschluss Problematik wird bereits von vielen anderen Kunden montiert – hier wurde scheinbar an der falschen Stelle gespart und Ortovox wird seinem Qualitätsanspruch hierbei nicht gerecht Fazit: Ich würde die Jacke definitiv nicht wieder kaufen, auch wenn sie schön warm ist. I have owned the jacket for almost 6 months now and I have to say I am somewhat disillusioned. I bought the jacket in XL, which is fine. The outer material is quite durable and the cuffs are really tight and now the highlight, the jacket is warm and the hood fits well. But that's it. In my opinion, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages and here are mainly the side pockets, which unfortunately are not deep enough to safely store a hat or gloves. There is always the latent risk that they will fall out, which has happened to me several times. The inside pocket is too small in my opinion, so that an average smartphone only just fits in with difficulty. The second big annoyance is the front zipper, which always works somehow, but overall it is just tricky and therefore not wearable for a jacket in this price range. It may be 2-way, but what good is that if the jacket accidentally opens from the bottom. The zipper problem has already been addressed by many other customers - it seems that savings were made in the wrong place and Ortovox is not living up to its quality standards. Conclusion: I would definitely not buy the jacket again, even though it is nice and warm.

Bonjour, ce n est pas un avis mais une question, on m a offert cette veste et je me demandais si elle pouvais se porter en direct ou si elle était plus efficace sous une membrane deperlante? Qu elles sont vos retour et avis sur ce produits et dans quelles conditions? Merci Lionel Hello, this is not an opinion but a question, I was given this jacket and I was wondering if it could be worn directly or if it was more effective under a water-repellent membrane? What are your feedback and opinions on this product and under what conditions? Thank you Lionel

Die Jacke hält gut warm und ist auch gut verarbeitet aber leider geht der Reißverschluss immer wieder von unten auf. Das ist leider sehr ärgerlich. The jacket keeps you warm and is well made, but unfortunately the zipper keeps coming undone from the bottom. That's really annoying.

I just purchased the ZINAL jacket. The product is of good quality and good insulation. The only downside is side is the quasi of the side pockets’ zipper. Unfortunately it looks of low quality, difficult to open/close , not smooth movement and impossible to close with only one hand let alone with gloves. For such a high price product, Ortovox could have used better zipper’s quality. I just purchased the ZINAL jacket. The product is of good quality and good insulation.

It is 2026 so the zipper problem must be solved by now I figured, but it turns out it's not. The first time I wore the jacket I got into a fight with the zipper and couldn't close it anymore. Also I would have preferred normal pockets. It could have been a great jacket if not for the stupid zipper problem, I hope there will be an improved version.
