Salewa Ortles Durastretch Jacket

For the Ortles Durastretch softshell jacket, we took inspiration from the mighty Ortler, which has the largest ice wall in the Eastern Alps. It is designed for changeable autumn, winter and spring conditions.

Its breathable softshell fabric gives you excellent weather protection and thermal comfort, while the Free Motion cut guarantees you full freedom of movement and prevents the hem from riding up when climbing. The jacket is made from Schoeller®-Naturetec, a unique, lightweight, PFC-free fabric that combines robust, partially recycled polyamide functional fibres with natural merino wool on the inside, making the jacket feel super comfortable against the skin. In the shoulder area we use a Durastretch ripstop structure to increase durability. The Direct Access System ensures quick and easy access to your avalanche transceiver or the layers underneath. And together with our athletes, we developed and tested a new under-helmet hood design with a high, strap-compatible collar. The straps are inserted at two hidden openings on either side of the collar and can be closed directly under the chin. The front zip then operates smoothly and the hood moves with your head, giving you an improved field of vision.

This Salewa Committed model also has a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) coating.
