Ideal for alpine adventures all year round
The Ortles Heavy 2 Powertex RDS Down Jacket by Salewa is an absolute must-have for mountaineering and ski touring. This warm, comfortable and functional down jacket effectively keeps the elements at bay. Its ergonomic design makes optimal use of the high-quality material blend. The outer and inner both consist of a fine and elastic, but at the same time durable ripstop nylon. In between these two, this jacket is filled with RDS-certified duck down with a fill power of 750 cuin that was placed in box baffles using the body mapping technology.

The sophisticated design lets the numerous functional features shine. This jacket for example boasts a lined, helmet-compatible and multi-point adjustable hood, an adjustable hem and cuffs with gusset inserts, making them ideal for wearing gloves. On the torso of this jacket, special design elements ensure a wide range of motion and a perfect fit.
