Ortovox Pala

The massive, bizarre towers of the Pala group rise from the rocky high plateau. Anyone climbing here in the southernmost mountain range of the Dolomites needs strong nerves and sturdy gear. The Merino Shield Tec line has been specifically designed for long alpine routes like these. Reinforcements at particularly stressed areas such as the hips, shoulders, and forearms provide maximum protection against rough rock. The 4-way stretch material ensures full freedom of movement, further enhanced by an athletic cut and anatomically shaped elbow areas. Thanks to the membrane-free construction, the Pala is particularly breathable, while the fine merino wool on the inside offers additional comfort. The self-regulating hood fits comfortably under a climbing helmet, and the sleeve cuffs and waistband are elastic and comfortable. With its high-performance fit, the Pala adapts to every movement and is perfectly tailored for climbing. The chest pocket and two front pockets optimized for climbing harnesses and backpacks provide space for small items that need to be quickly accessible on a long climbing day.
