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 fabric. Ortovox has designed the Merino Shield Tec line precisely for such long, alpine routes, and with it the Pala Hooded softshell jacket!

The extremely abrasion-resistant outer material of the men's jacket has been equipped with additional inserts in particularly exposed areas such as the shoulders, forearms, and hips to offer maximum protection against rugged rock. The 4-way stretch fabric provides full freedom of movement, which is supported by an athletic cut and pre-shaped elbow areas. Thanks to its membrane-free construction, the Pala Hooded Jacket for men is 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 softshell jacket adapts to your every move and is fully geared towards climbing. The two harness and backpack-optimized 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 Ortovox Merino Shield Tec line is also completely PFC-free. With its fresh look, the Pala Hooded men's jacket is ready for big climbing lines on high rock faces.
