We at ORTOVOX greatly value quality and exclusively use high-quality raw materials for our products. Every product goes through multiple stages of quality control to ensure that we can provide our customers with the highest possible quality.

We rely upon the unique qualities of the natural products merino and virgin wool, which require particular care due to their material characteristics. We therefore recommend that you handle these materials carefully and strictly observe the wash and care recommendations to ensure the longevity of your product.

Warranty

The STATUTORY WARRANTY OF 2 YEARS (24 months) upon presentation of the dealer invoice / purchase receipt applies.

SECOND HAND PRODUCTS that you have purchased from the ORTOVOX SECOND LIFE SHOP are an EXCEPTION to this policy: In this case, a statutory warranty of 1 year (12 months) applies. The authoritative date is deemed to be the date on the original purchase receipt.

Please note that certain damage is EXCLUDED from the warranty. This includes damage caused by accidents, incorrect use, normal wear and tear, damage caused by fire, sharp edges (such as crampons, rocks, skis, etc.) and fading of colors caused by extended UV radiation or pilling.

To maintain your warranty entitlement, we recommend that you MAKE NO ALTERATIONS to the products.
