The massive, bizarre towers of the Pala group protrude from the stony alpine plateau. Climbing here in the southernmost mountain range of the Dolomites takes strong nerves - and strong fabric. The Ortovox Merino Shield Tec line - and therefore the Pala Hooded Softshell Jacket - was designed especially for long, alpine routes like these!

The extremely scuff-resistant outer fabric of the women’s jacket is equipped with reinforcements in particularly high-stress areas such as the hips, shoulders and underarms to offer maximum protection against craggy rocks. The 4-way-stretch fabric provides full freedom of movement, enhanced by an athletic cut and anatomically shaped elbow areas. Thanks to its no-membrane construction, the Pala Hooded Jacket for women is particularly breathable, while fine merino wool inside offers additional comfort.

The self-adjusting hood fits under a climbing helmet and the cuffs and waistband are elastic and comfortable. Thanks to its high-reach performance fit, the softshell jacket adapts to every movement and is perfectly tailored to climbing. Two harness- and backpack-optimized front pockets provide space for small items that you might need to grab quickly on a long day of climbing.

For the sake of the environment, the entire Ortovox Merino Shield Tec line is also completely PFC-free and climate-neutral through carbon offsetting. With its fresh look, the Pala Hooded outdoor jacket for women is just right for big climbing routes on high rock faces.
