SALEWA Ortles Windstopper® Beanie
Experience unparalleled protection and performance in the high alpine with the SALEWA Ortles Windstopper® Beanie, your essential shield against the harshest mountain conditions. Engineered for technical pursuits where warmth, breathability, and a low-profile fit are non-negotiable, this beanie is a critical piece of gear for any serious mountaineer, climber, or ski tourer. It provides targeted, lightweight insulation precisely where you need it most, ensuring your head remains warm and dry without causing you to overheat during intense ascents.
Totally windproof, warm, and highly breathable protection for winter mountaineering.
Made of water-repellent and insulated next-generation GORE-TEX® with an ePE membrane and PFAS-free DWR finish, the Ortles GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER® Beanie has a contoured fit that works under all climbing helmets.
With additional stretch inserts for freedom of movement and extended ear panels for more coverage.
The core of this beanie´s exceptional performance lies in its advanced material technology. The absolute windproofing is your first line of defense against biting cold and the dangerous windchill effect, which can rapidly sap body heat. By completely blocking air penetration, it allows your body´s natural warmth to be retained effectively. However, protection is useless without comfort during high-output activity. That´s why its remarkable breathability is a game-changer. It actively allows sweat vapor and excess heat to escape, preventing the build-up of moisture that leads to a cold, clammy feeling and subsequent chilling on rests or descents. This dynamic moisture management keeps you comfortable and your microclimate perfectly regulated.
Designed for active use, its ergonomic, contoured shape and athletic fit ensure it stays securely in place without being restrictive. The low-profile construction is specifically engineered to fit seamlessly under a climbing, mountaineering, or ski helmet, eliminating bunching, pressure points, or uncomfortable friction. The addition of strategically placed stretch inserts enhances the fit further, providing superior freedom of movement and ensuring the beanie adapts to your head shape for all-day comfort. A standout feature is the extended ear panels, a thoughtful and crucial detail that provides extra coverage and protection for your ears, which are highly susceptible to cold and wind.
