Men's Trace Windbreaker Jacket

The Ortovox Men's Trace Windbreaker Jacket is built for the kind of alpine days where wind on the ridge can change the feel of a climb in minutes. At just 123g, it gives you effective wind protection in a stripped-down package that makes sense to carry every time. When conditions are mixed, the material layout does the work: MERINO PROTECT on the back, front and under the arms delivers breathable, climate-regulating, windproof comfort, while the sleeves, sides and hood use ELASTIC TEC-STRETCH for added protection against light drizzle.

It’s a straightforward piece with the details you want and nothing extra—pre-adjusted hood, elastic cuffs and waist, and a breast pocket that doubles as its stow pocket. For alpine tours where pack space matters and weather rarely stays still, this is the kind of layer that earns a permanent spot in the kit.
