ORTOVOX clothing – Alpine expertise for the trail

ORTOVOX has been building protective gear for the mountains since 1980, starting with the world’s first dual-frequency avalanche transceiver and evolving through more than four decades of mountain sports. In 2026, the Munich-based brand brings that expertise to mountain biking for the first time. With the new Sequence collection, ORTOVOX applies its alpine material know-how and safety-first approach directly to the trail. Shop Ortovox jackets, pants, jerseys, shorts, gloves, and socks and see how alpine expertise performs on the trail.

Gerald Kampel and Jürgen Wegner founded ORTOVOX in 1980 near Munich with a clear mission: to protect people in the mountains. The brand’s first avalanche transceiver revolutionized avalanche rescue worldwide. By 1988, ORTOVOX had also become a pioneer in merino wool performance apparel, long before the material became a standard in mountain sports. Today, the brand is a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, uses bluesign®-certified materials, and is committed to measurable climate targets. No mulesing, transparent supply chains, and its own second-life program – sustainability runs through every part of ORTOVOX, from the wool in Tasmania to the finished product. In 2026, ORTOVOX expands its Safety Academy with first aid courses for mountain bikers, underlining its ambition to be more than just a manufacturer in the bike segment.

ORTOVOX brings 45 years of mountain sports expertise to the trail – here’s what sets the collection apart:

• Proven mountain heritage since 1980 – now part of the MTB segment
• GORE-TEX with PFC-free ePE membrane – sustainable weather protection
• Merino blend – natural odor control and effective climate regulation
• bluesign®-certified and PFC-free – with a high proportion of recycled materials
• Bib shorts with premium SQlab chamois – lasting comfort in the saddle

The Sequence collection is split into two clearly defined lines. The Trail line is built for long rides, climbs, and endurance-focused riding – with a focus on breathability, precise fit, and durability. The Free line is designed for descending, with a looser fit, greater freedom of movement, and merino inserts for natural climate regulation.

Both lines follow the same ORTOVOX philosophy: combining natural materials with modern textile technology.

• MTB jackets and pants: From sudden summit showers to long descents in light rain, the jackets and pants in the Sequence line keep you dry without restricting movement.
• MTB jerseys and shorts: The merino-polyester blend dries quickly, regulates body temperature, and naturally reduces odor on long rides.
• MTB gloves and socks: Merino content, an anatomical fit, and full grip give you confident control and natural comfort on the trail.

ORTOVOX builds on four decades of material research for its MTB apparel. Merino wool – the core of every ORTOVOX collection since 1988 – works alongside synthetic fibers in the Sequence line to regulate temperature in ways fully synthetic materials can’t match. Paired with advanced membrane technology and input from ergonomic specialists, this delivers maximum performance with minimal environmental impact.

The new GORE-TEX ePE membrane replaces traditional PTFE with expanded polyethylene – a fluorocarbon-free material. It delivers full waterproofing and breathability with a significantly reduced environmental impact. You get reliable weather protection on long trails without compromising on sustainability.

Merino wool regulates body temperature, naturally reduces odor, and feels comfortable against the skin. Synthetic fibers dry quickly and add durability. ORTOVOX combines both in a single material that performs on the trail and keeps odors under control even on long rides.

SQlab develops ergonomic cycling solutions based on biomechanical research. ORTOVOX uses these chamois in its Sequence bib shorts to relieve pressure at key contact points in the saddle. The result is less fatigue on long rides and more focus on the trail ahead.

Shop the ORTOVOX Sequence collection – from jerseys to GORE-TEX jackets, all in one place. The new ORTOVOX MTB apparel is built for your riding style, whether you choose the Trail line for long rides or the Free line for more freedom on descents.
