Ortovox backpack

Ortovox is a prestigious German brand specialized in mountain rescue equipment and outdoor technical gear. Founded in 1980 by Gerald Kampel and Jürgen Wegner, the company initially revolutionized the market with the creation of the first double-frequency mountaineering transceiver for finding avalanche victims.

Today, the brand is widely recognized for its high-performance backpacks and merino wool apparel. While the brand design and engineering take place at its headquarters in Taufkirchen, Germany, manufacturing is distributed across multiple countries, including Vietnam and various European locations, under strict fair wear standards. Since 2011, Ortovox has been part of the Schwan-STABILO Group, ensuring a strong backing for its focus on sustainability and mountain safety.
