Ortovox Pala

The massive, bizarre towers of the Pala Group rise out of the stony high plateau. Climbing here, on the southernmost mountain massif in the Dolomites, requires strong nerves and strong material. Ortovox has designed the Merino Shield Tec line precisely for such long, alpine routes. The extremely abrasion-resistant outer material of the Pala Hooded Jacket for men can withstand more than 50,000 abrasion cycles in the Martindale test, which measures abrasion resistance. Additional inserts in particularly exposed areas such as the shoulders, forearms and hips offer maximum protection against rugged rock. The 4-way stretch material provides full freedom of movement, which is supported by an athletic cut and pre-shaped elbow areas. The membrane-free construction makes the Pala Hooded Jacket for men particularly breathable, while fine merino wool on the inside makes it even more comfortable to wear. The self-adjusting hood fits under a climbing helmet and the cuffs and hem are elasticated and comfortable. Thanks to the high-reach performance fit, the Pala Hooded Jacket for men adapts to your every move and is fully geared towards climbing. The chest pocket and the two harness and rucksack-optimised front pockets provide space for small items that need to be quickly to hand on a long day of climbing. 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 Hooded Jacket for men is ready for big climbing lines on high rock faces.
