Salewa Ortles MED 3 RDS Down Jacket W

Whether as an insulating mid-layer or as a third layer, the latest version of the Ortles Medium down jacket is one of our warm insulating jackets and was designed for alpine ventures in icy temperatures. In doing so, the jacket combines high thermal performance with a minimal pack size. In the down jacket comes a 90:10 blend of duck down filling and TirolWool® Hybrid-Responsive insulation to use. The two insulating materials are placed in such a way that different parts of the body can be provided with just the right amount of heat retention. The duck down is certified according to the Responsible Down Standard and, with a bulking power of 750 cuin, keeps you pleasantly warm even in bone-chilling cold. The TirolWool® Responsive material also warms when wet - which is why it is used on the hood, shoulders and cuffs. Meanwhile, the lightweight nylon ripstop outer fabric protects against abrasion, making it ideal for alpine pursuits. The soft, close-fitting hood, adjustable at the back, as well as the high collar provide additional protection when it gets stormy and uncomfortable. The ergonomic fit of the sleeves and shoulders allows a high degree of freedom of movement and prevents the jacket from riding up during overhead movements. Also, the two-zip front zipper is particularly practical when climbing, because it always gives access to the climbing harness and belay device. If it does get warm, the jacket can be quickly and easily stowed in its own pocket. The Ortles Medium 3 down jacket for women comes in a medium thickness and combines light weight and minimal pack size.
