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.

Details:

• Hybrid fleece-wool midlayer best for mountaineering and ski touring
• Alpine merino fleece regulates our temperature and moisture
• Athletic fit and elastane fibers add stretch for a full range of motion
• Thumb loops for easier layering and extra coverage
