A super-warm, highly breathable fleece hoody that blends traditional wool craftsmanship with modern freeride performance. Built for cold days on north faces, tight couloirs, and fast tree-line laps.

The Fleece GP Classic Knit Hoody stands out with its intricately processed wool knit inserts across the front—crafted using traditional techniques that give the jacket its signature “classic but modern” look. These dense knit panels act as a natural barrier against chilling winds and biting descents, offering serious warmth without sacrificing breathability.

Designed for freeriders who demand mobility, this hoody features Ortovox’s loos fit—a wide, airy silhouette that leaves room for protectors or midlayers without feeling bulky. The straight, low-sitting design delivers both comfort and a relaxed, modern freeride aesthetic.

The sleeves are built from Merino Fleece Grid Plus, a technical material with a latticed interior structure that traps warmth efficiently while enabling rapid moisture transfer. It’s lightweight, fast-drying, and durable—ideal for high-output sections, skin tracks, or cold storm days when you don’t want to overheat.

Soft merino wool on the inside ensures next-to-skin comfort, natural odor resistance, and reliable temperature regulation throughout fluctuating conditions.

For on-mountain practicality, the hoody includes:

• Two side pockets for essentials and quick-access items

• A contrasting chest pocket perfect for keys, cards, or a phone

• A close-fitting hood for additional wind protection

• Elastic sleeve hems to lock in warmth and block cold drafts

Made in Europe with a climate-neutral manufacturing process, this fleece hoody embodies sustainability without compromising performance.
