Ortovox Pala Hooded Jacket W

The massive, bizarre towers of the Pala group rise from the rocky high plateau. Anyone climbing here in the southernmost mountain range of the Dolomites needs strong nerves and durable gear. Our Merino Shield Tec line has been specifically designed for long alpine routes like these.

The extremely abrasion-resistant outer material of the Pala Hooded Jacket for women achieves more than 50,000 abrasion cycles in the Martindale test, which measures abrasion resistance. Reinforcements at particularly stressed areas such as the hips, shoulders, and forearms provide maximum protection against rugged rocks. The 4-way stretch material ensures full freedom of movement, further enhanced by an athletic cut and anatomically shaped elbow areas. Thanks to the no-membrane construction, the Pala Hooded Jacket for women is particularly breathable, while the fine Merino wool on the inside offers additional comfort.

The self-regulating hood fits comfortably under a climbing helmet, and the sleeve cuffs and hem are elastic and comfortable. The Pala Hooded Jacket for women adapts to every movement thanks to its high-performance fit and is perfectly tailored for climbing. The chest pocket and two front pockets optimized for climbing harnesses and backpacks provide space for small items that need to be quickly accessible on a long climbing day.

For the sake of the environment, the entire Merino Shield Tec line is also completely PFC-free and made climate-neutral through carbon offsetting.
