Buying advice
Which weight for what
| Weight | Ortovox lines | According to Ortovox |
|---|---|---|
| 120 to 150 g/m² | 120 Competition Light, 120 Cool Tec, 140 and 150 Cool, 150 Essential | warm days, lots of movement |

Pace and sweating
If you climb quickly, you generate plenty of heat and sweat. A lightweight fabric is then more comfortable, even in winter: Ortovox specifically recommends the 120 Competition Light for high-intensity tours in summer and winter.
If you take it easy or get cold quickly during breaks, 185 or 230 is the better choice.
Merino, TENCEL and polyamide
- According to Ortovox, 185 Rock'n'wool and 185 Merino are made from 100% merino.
- 120 Cool Tec, 140 and 150 Cool contain TENCEL™ lyocell, which according to Ortovox absorbs sweat.
- Polyamide makes 120 Competition Light, 120 Tec and 230 Competition more hard-wearing.
Frequently asked questions
What do 120, 185 or 230 mean?
The number is the fabric weight in grams per square metre. According to Ortovox, the higher the value, the heavier and warmer the baselayer.
Is Merino itchy?
Ortovox describes its Merino wool as soft and itch-free against the skin. How a fabric feels is still personal; lighter weights like 120 and 230 sit directly against your skin.
Can I wear a Merino shirt for several days?
Ortovox says Merino wool helps prevent odours, especially on long days in the mountains. How long it stays comfortable depends on you and the tour.
