Gear reviews | Ortovox Ravine Plus 3L Jacket & Pants
04/23/2026 • alexandra zolotykhWith the Ravine Plus 3L jacket and the matching Ravine Plus 3L trousers, Ortovox is launching a freeride hardshell combination on the market that combines robust weather protection with a high level of comfort. What makes this product so special is the material mix. It is a 3-layer hardshell construction with merino inserts in certain body zones. These are intended to ensure greater comfort and a pleasant body climate. The idea is clear: a ski outfit for cold days outdoors that is also good in the ski resort or on tours. The test shows how the jacket and trousers perform in practice. -

Gear of the Week | Penguin down insulation vest
03/15/2026 • alexandra zolotykhA good insulating layer is part of the basic equipment for many outdoor activities in winter. While classic down jackets offer maximum warmth, down vests score points above all for their low weight, high freedom of movement and versatility. Over the past few weeks, I have been able to test this down insulation vest on various activities - including ski tours, trail running and everyday life on cold winter days.
