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 massif of the Dolomites, needs strong nerves and robust 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 over 50,000 rub cycles in the Martindale test, which measures abrasion resistance. Additional inserts at particularly stressed areas like the shoulders and hips provide maximum protection against rough rock. The 4-way stretch material allows complete freedom of movement, supported by an athletic cut. Its membrane-free construction makes the Pala Light Vest for women particularly breathable, while fine merino wool on the inside and merino mesh inserts in the collar ensure an extra comfortable wearing experience. The athletic cut and elastic hem finishes guarantee an optimal fit and full freedom of movement while climbing. The chest pocket provides space for a topo, phone, bars, or other small items that should 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 climate-neutral with CO2 compensation. With its fresh look, the Pala Light Vest for women is ready for major climbing routes on high rock faces.
