Salewa Ortles Heavy Powertex 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 an exceptionally 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 implements 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 enhanced thermal insulation, as well as a soft, comfortable lining. It has a 3D box down chamber construction, a Free Motion cut design, and an athletic fit that prevents the hem from riding up while climbing, ensuring complete freedom of movement. All our down complies with the Responsible Down Standard and comes from independently verified 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 zippered gusset and drawstring. It is integrated into the high collar and features built-in drawstrings 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. At the hem, there are two cuffs that protect against cold air and warm your lower back by trapping heat. Discover our new giant down jacket for harsh weather conditions.
