Ortovox Pala Hooded Jacket

The massive, bizarre towers of the Pala group rise from the rocky plateau. Those who climb here, at the southernmost mountain range of the Dolomites, need strong nerves and robust gear. For such long alpine routes, ORTOVOX has designed the MERINO SHIELD TEC line.

The extremely abrasion-resistant outer material of the PALA HOODED JACKET for men withstands over 50,000 rubbing cycles in the Martindale test, which measures abrasion resistance. Additional inserts at particularly stressed areas like the shoulders, forearms, and hips provide maximum protection against rough rock. The 4-WAY stretch material allows for complete freedom of movement, supported by an athletic cut and pre-shaped elbow areas. The membrane-less construction makes the PALA HOODED JACKET for men particularly breathable, while fine merino wool on the inside ensures a comfortable wearing experience.

The self-regulating hood fits under a climbing helmet, and the elastic and comfortable cuffs and hem provide a snug fit. Thanks to the High-Reach-Performance Fit, the PALA HOODED JACKET for men adapts to every movement and is fully geared towards climbing. Small items can be stored in the chest pocket and the two harness- and backpack-optimized front pockets, ensuring they are quickly accessible during 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 its fresh look, the PALA HOODED JACKET for men is ready for great climbing routes on high rock faces.
