Salewa Ortles Down Jacket

Warmth, protection, mobility, and a compact pack size: Our iconic Ortles "Heavy" down jacket is designed as a secure, warm barrier for mountaineering, climbing, and expeditions in sub-zero temperatures.

This model features a particularly robust, water-resistant outer shell made of two-layer, PU-coated Ripstop Powertex Extreme, to shield you from the elements and keep you dry. It is tailored to meet the needs of advanced climbers and incorporates detailed feedback from our team of athletes and mountain guides.

Inside, we use high-quality, pure 90/10 down with a fill power of 750 for improved thermal insulation, along with a soft, comfortable lining. It has a 3D box down chamber construction, Free Motion cut design, and an athletic fit that prevents the hem from riding up while climbing and guarantees complete freedom of movement. All our down complies with the Responsible Down Standard and comes from independently certified and traceable sources to ensure that the birds are not live-plucked or force-fed.

The new hood design is fully helmet-compatible but can also be adjusted for a snug, perfect fit without a helmet using the zip gusset and drawstring. It is integrated into the high collar and features built-in drawcords at the neckline and top for additional storm protection. The two-way zipper provides excellent access to your harness and belay device under your jacket. The hem includes two cuffs that protect against cold air and warm your lower back by trapping heat.
