Ortovox Pala softshell jacket

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

The extremely abrasion-resistant outer material of the Pala Hooded Jacket for women withstands more than 50,000 rub cycles in the Martindale test, which measures abrasion resistance. Additional reinforcements at particularly stressed areas such as the shoulders, forearms, and hips provide maximum protection against rough rock. The 4-way stretch material allows for complete freedom of movement, supported by an athletic cut and pre-shaped elbow areas. Its membrane-free construction makes the Pala Hooded Jacket for women particularly breathable, while fine merino wool on the inside ensures a comfortable wearing experience.

The self-regulating hood fits under a climbing helmet, and the elastic and comfortable cuffs and hem provide a snug fit. Thanks to the High-Reach-Performance Fit, the Pala Hooded Jacket for women adapts to every movement and is fully geared towards climbing. Small items can be conveniently stored in the chest pocket and the two harness- and backpack-optimized front pockets, making them easily accessible during a long climbing day.

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 Hooded Jacket for women is ready for big climbing routes on high rock faces.
