Ortovox Pala softshell jacket

The massive, bizarre towers of the Pala group rise from the rocky high plateau. Those who climb here, at the southernmost mountain range of the Dolomites, need strong nerves and robust gear. Ortovox has designed the Merino Shield Tec line specifically for such long alpine routes.

The extremely abrasion-resistant outer material of the Pala Hooded Jacket for women withstands over 50,000 rub cycles in the Martindale test, which measures abrasion resistance. Additional reinforcements at particularly stressed areas like the shoulders, forearms, and hips provide maximum protection against rough rock. The 4-way stretch material allows for full freedom of movement, supported by an athletic cut and pre-shaped elbow areas. Thanks to its membrane-free construction, the Pala Hooded Jacket for women is particularly breathable, with fine merino wool on the inside for added comfort.

The self-regulating hood fits under a climbing helmet, and the elastic and comfortable cuffs and hem provide a snug fit. With its High-Reach-Performance Fit, the Pala Hooded Jacket for women adapts to every movement and is fully focused on climbing. Small items can be conveniently stored in the chest pocket and the two harness- and backpack-optimized front pockets, making them easily accessible on a long climbing day.

For the sake of the environment, the entire Merino Shield Tec line is completely PFC-free and climate-neutral with CO2 compensation. With a fresh look, the Pala Hooded Jacket for women is ready for major climbing routes on high rock faces.
