Ortovox Pala Hooded Jacket

The massive, bizarre towers of San Martino rise from the rocky plateau. Anyone climbing here, at the southernmost massif of the Dolomites, needs strong nerves – and equally strong gear. We developed our Merino Shield Tec line specifically for these long alpine routes.

The extremely abrasion-resistant outer material of the Pala Hooded Jacket for men has passed more than 50,000 rubs in the Martindale test, which measures abrasion resistance. Additional reinforcements provide maximum protection against rough rocks in particularly exposed areas such as the shoulders, forearms, and hips. The four-way stretch material ensures complete freedom of movement, supported by an athletic cut and pre-shaped elbows. Thanks to the membrane-free construction, the Pala Hooded Jacket for men is particularly breathable, and the fine merino wool on the inside makes it even more comfortable to wear.

The self-regulating hood fits under a climbing helmet, and the cuffs and hem are elastic and comfortable. With the High Reach Performance Fit, the Pala Hooded Jacket for men adapts to every movement and is designed specifically for climbing. Small items that need to be within reach during a long climbing day can be stored in the chest pocket and the two front pockets, which are optimized for climbing harnesses and backpacks.

For the sake of the environment, the entire Merino line.
