Ortovox Pala Light Vest

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 durable gear. That's exactly why we designed our Merino Shield Tec line for such long alpine routes! The extremely abrasion-resistant outer material of the Pala Light Vest for women withstands more than 50,000 rubbing cycles in the Martindale test, which measures abrasion resistance. Additional reinforcements at particularly stressed areas like the shoulders and hips provide maximum protection against rough rock. The 4-way stretch material allows for full freedom of movement, supported by an athletic cut. Thanks to its membrane-free construction, the Pala Light Vest for women is particularly breathable, with fine merino wool on the inside and merino mesh inserts in the collar for added comfort. The athletic cut and elastic hem finishes ensure an optimal fit and complete freedom of movement while climbing. The chest pocket provides space for a topo, phone, bars, or other small items that need to be quickly accessible during a long climbing day. For the sake of the environment, the entire Merino Shield Tec line is also completely PFC-free and climate-neutral with CO2 compensation. With a fresh look, the Pala Light Vest for women is ready for big climbing routes on high rock faces.
