For high alpine activities in adverse conditionsRugged outer layer, technically fully equipped and perfect for all adventures on rock, ice and snow: the Westalpen Jacket. The hardshell is perfect for alpine climbing, high-altitude tours and other areas of use where contact with rocks is possible and technical demands are made. Thanks to the Dermizax NX membrane, the jacket is completely waterproof and windproof without compromising on breathability. It also offers great freedom of movement for demanding, mixed terrain. The material is extremely durable and easy to care for, so you will enjoy this hardshell for a long time to come.Many features for high wearing comfortTo cope in high alpine terrain, you need clothing in which every last detail has been thought through - as with the Westalpen Jacket. Comfort is a top priority here. For example, if you're on a tough ascent in the mountains and long for nothing more than temperature equalisation, you can simply open the underarm zips. The full-length two-way front zip is also easy to operate - even when wearing a climbing harness. While the chest pocket offers space for your smartphone or GPS device, the two spacious front pockets are backpack-optimised and store a map, topo or other items. It's all about the detailsWhy is the rain jacket particularly suitable for the above-mentioned areas of use? Because Ortovox has come up with something very special for the Westalpen 3L Jacket. The special high reach fit with longer cut sleeves and long torso allows easy overhead movements. In addition, the adjustable cuffs and hem keep wind, snow and rain out. The helmet-compatible hood, which can be adjusted in two ways and is equipped with a high-cut collar, also offers special protection.
