Why We Like The Salewa Ortles AM Jacket
A hybrid wool fleece for alpine adventures, the Salewa Ortles Alpine Merino Jacket is a softshell that insulates without cooking us on our summit bibs. The polyester-wool blend is warm and quick to dry, while Polarite Wool Cordura inserts in the shoulders and sleeves add durability in those high-wear areas. The fabric provides 4-way stretch with ergonomic sleeves and shoulders, so we enjoy a full range of motion when we're climbing or skiing.
