The massive, bizarre towers of the Pala group rise from the rocky high plateau. Anyone climbing here, at the southernmost mountain range of the Dolomites, needs 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 men withstands over 50,000 abrasion cycles in the Martindale test, which measures abrasion resistance. Additional reinforcements at particularly stressed areas such as 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 added comfort.
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 easily 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. The Pala Hooded Jacket for men comes in a fresh look.
