Ortovox Pala Light Jacket

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 Light Jacket for men withstands over 50,000 rubbing cycles in the Martindale test, which measures abrasion resistance. Additional inserts at particularly stressed areas such as the shoulders, forearms, and hips provide maximum protection against rough rock. The 4-way stretch material allows for full freedom of movement, supported by an athletic cut and pre-shaped elbow areas. Thanks to its membrane-free construction, the Pala Light Jacket for men is particularly breathable, with fine merino wool on the inside and Merino mesh inserts in the collar for added comfort.

The Pala Light Jacket for men features elastic sleeve and hem closures, and thanks to its High-Reach-Performance Fit, it adapts to every movement and is fully geared towards climbing. The chest pocket is perfect for storing a topo, phone, energy bars, or other small items that need to be quickly accessible during a long day in the mountains.

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 Light Jacket for men is ready for big climbing routes on high rock faces.
