Ortovox 120 Comp Light Shorts Thermal Leggings, Dark Arctic Grey, Size M

The Ortovox 120 Comp Light Shorts are high-performance thermal leggings engineered for athletes who demand efficiency and comfort during intensive winter activities. These shorts utilize a sophisticated merino wool blend that offers natural temperature regulation and moisture management, ensuring the wearer stays dry and comfortable even during high-exertion sports. The seamless circular knitting process minimizes friction, providing a second-skin fit that allows for unrestricted movement.

Advantages

The primary benefit of these thermal shorts is the advanced material composition, which combines the natural properties of merino wool with durable synthetic fibers to create a lightweight yet highly functional garment. The seamless construction significantly reduces the risk of chafing during prolonged physical activity, while the body-mapped zones ensure optimal breathability where it is needed most. Furthermore, the material is naturally odor-resistant and quick-drying, making it an excellent choice for multi-day excursions or demanding training sessions.

Suitable for

• Ski touring and mountaineering
• High-intensity winter trail running
• Layering under shell pants for alpine skiing
• Intensive athletic training in cold conditions

When it may not be suitable

How to use

Wear the Ortovox 120 Comp Light Shorts directly against the skin as a base layer. The seamless design is intended to sit snugly to effectively wick moisture away from the body.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the size M fits your measurements for optimal compression and moisture wicking.

• Follow the specific care instructions for merino wool to maintain fabric integrity.

Usage recommendations
