Description

<p>Thanks to the Western Alps 3L Light Jacket from Ortovox, you can go from the valley to the summit with ease, protection and functionality. The innovative Western Alps system focuses especially on versatility and weight optimization.</p><p>For the latter in particular, minimalist yet functional equipment is essential. Narrow tapes at the seams therefore save a few grams, but without losing their weatherproof properties. Two large side pockets offer sufficient storage space and also function as ventilation openings thanks to internal mesh inserts. Adjustable hem and sleeve cuffs and a helmet-compatible, adjustable hood are also standard features for use in ice and snow. Soft merino wool inserts in the chin and neck area provide the necessary comfort.</p><p>While the practical features score with double functions and thus save weight, the sophisticated material composition makes no compromises. The 3-layer construction including a non-porous PU membrane and a reliable DWR impregnation does not let wind or moisture through, but sweat and moisture inside quickly finds its way out thanks to the high breathability. The thin hardshell jacket scores points for its durability, but it can also be folded up small and stowed away to save space.&nbsp;</p><p>The fit of the Western Alps 3L Light Jacket is fully designed for alpine movements and the 2-way stretch does the rest for a good and comfortable fit on every tour.</p>
