Alpine routes on rock, snow, ice, and mixed terrain in the Dolomites or elsewhere in the world are the essence of technical mountaineering. Making an effort means asking the body to produce heat, while exposure to the elements poses a risk of excessive cooling. This updated version of our iconic Ortles Hybrid TirolWool Responsive Jacket is designed with a proven hybrid construction.
The lightweight insulating layer is made from a breathable and stretchy Durastretch softshell fabric, which consists of polyamide and wool. Strategically placed insulated areas, padded with TirolWool® Responsive, enhance the body’s natural thermoregulation mechanism and retain warmth around the torso. TirolWool® Responsive is made from locally sourced wool from Tyrolean sheep and enriched with innovative Responsive minerals.
It continues to provide insulation even when wet. The fitted, adjustable insulated hood offers extra protection. When not in use, this jacket can be packed away into its integrated pack-it pocket.
This Salewa Committed jacket features a PFC-free DWR (durable water-repellent) finish, and its Durastretch fabric contains 22% merino wool next to the skin. Our most versatile alpine insulating jacket - for exceptional freedom of movement and thermoregulation. - bodymapping
