Ortovox Pala Light Vest

The massive, bizarre towers of the Pala group rise from the rocky high plateau. Those who climb here, at the southernmost mountain range of the Dolomites, need strong nerves and robust gear. Our Merino Shield Tec line is specifically designed for such long alpine routes! The extremely abrasion-resistant outer material of the Pala Light Vest for women withstands over 50,000 rub cycles in the Martindale test, which measures abrasion resistance. Additional inserts at particularly stressed areas such as the shoulders and hips provide maximum protection against rough rock. The 4-way stretch material allows for complete freedom of movement, supported by an athletic cut. Thanks to its membrane-less 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 full freedom of movement while climbing. The chest pocket provides space for a topo, phone, energy 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 its fresh look, the Pala Light Vest for women is ready for big climbing routes on high rock faces.
