Salewa Ortles Durastretch Jacket

The Ortles Durastretch Softshell Jacket is inspired by the mighty Ortler, which boasts the largest ice wall in the Eastern Alps. It is designed for the variable conditions of autumn, winter, and spring.

Its breathable softshell fabric offers excellent weather protection and thermal comfort, while the free-motion cut ensures full freedom of movement and prevents the hem from riding up when climbing. The jacket is made from Schoeller®-Naturetec, a unique, lightweight, PFC-free fabric that combines robust, partially recycled polyamide functional fibers with a natural merino wool blend on the inside, making it feel incredibly comfortable against the skin. In the shoulder area, we use a Durastretch ripstop structure to enhance durability. The Direct Access System allows for quick and easy access to your avalanche transceiver or the layers underneath. Together with our athletes, we developed and tested a new helmet-compatible hood design with a high collar that accommodates straps. The straps are threaded through two hidden openings on either side of the collar and can be fastened directly under the chin. The front zipper is easy to operate, and the hood moves with your head, providing an improved field of vision.

This Salewa Committed model also features a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) coating.
